Hydraulic Submersible Sediment Pump Equipped on Excavator was Used for River Dredging

Hydraulic submersible sediment pump is the new sediment pump type which is developed and designed by Tai’an Ocean Pump Co., Ltd. (OCEAN Pump) according to 20 years experience and actual construction requirements. Hydraulic submersible sediment pump can be driven by a hydraulic power station or the hydraulic system of the excavator. It is suitable for urban rivers, lake and pond dredging, and can also be equipped with two or three sets of side agitators according to construction requirements. The side agitators can stir the hard sediment and increase the transportation concentration. The hydraulic sediment pump casing and impeller can be customized when there is much garbage in the river or lake to guarantee passibility.

Hydraulic Submersible Sediment Pump Selection Overview

One customer from Gansu undertook a river cleanup project. The water depth is about 2 meters, the sand layer is relatively hard, the discharge distance is about 200 meters. Previously, the customer dug sand with excavators, then transported by vehicles. However, this method was not only inefficient, but also had a relatively large pollution to the surrounding environment, and there were many complaints from surrounding residents. So the customer required a method which was more efficient and environmentally friendly to replace the current working way. The customer contacted OCEAN Pump for a suitable sand pump machine. After detailed communication, OCEAN Pump engineers conducted serious sand extracting equipment selection according to the actual requirements. In the end, OCEAN Pump recommended hydraulic submersible dredging pump. The hydraulic submersible sediment pump can be directly installed on the excavator, and the sediment pump is driven by the hydraulic system of the excavator. Compared with the traditional hydraulic pumping station, hydraulic system of excavator has the features of easy moving, less investment, easy installation. The sand is piped to the sediment recovery site, and no leakage occurs during conveying.
After studying the hydraulic submersible sediment pump produced by OCEAN Pump and watching the working videos, the customer finally selected OCEAN Pump as his partner and signed a contract.

The hydraulic submersible sediment pump manufactured by OCEAN Pump has the following advantages compared with the submersible slurry pump driven by electric motor.

1. The hydraulic transmission has small inertia and fast response speed, which can realize a wide range of speed regulation. With hydraulic shunt and collecting valve, no additional hydraulic control facilities are required for customers.
2. Overload protection can be realized automatically, and there is no burning phenomenon.
3. High concentration of solids such as mortar, sediment and slag.
4. Lower failure rate.

The hydraulic submersible sediment pump designed and produced by OCEAN Pump has been highly praised by customers since it was put into use. The customer does not need increase investment to purchase equipment. The excavator bucket and hydraulic submersible sediment pump can be replaced by each other according to customer’s actual requirements which can meet the requirements of less investment and high output.

How to Choose Power Source for Heavy Duty Sludge Pump

Heavy duty sludge pump is one kind of slurry pump or sediment pump which can be used to extract river sediment, silt or tailing slag, etc. According to the structure,  sludge pump can be divided into three types  such as horizontal, vertical and submersible sludge pump. Some of our customers often have a question on how to choose suitable power source for sediment pump. Normally we choose the power source according to the actual working conditions. Electric motor, diesel engine and hydraulic power are three commonly used power resources to drive heavy duty sludge pump.

Electric Motor Driven Heavy Duty Sludge Pump

We recommend the electric motor as a power source for the heavy duty sludge pump when there is three-phase industrial power at the work site. . Especially in the case of transporting sludge or mud with long distances, it has the following advantages:

1. With electric motor, the sludge pump has low noise and stable operation. Low noise has less impact on the surrounding environment and it is conducive to workers’ construction.
2. The supporting variable frequency control cabinet controls the operation of the electric motor, sot he start-up is more stable. During the operation, the power can be reduced by adjusting the frequency to reduce the useless power consumption, it could meet the requirements of transportation distance, to save power consumption and reduce the construction electricity cost.
3. The electric motor is also easy to maintain.
4. The electric motor connection mode can be directly connected by the coupling and also connected by the pulley. The installation is flexible and the occupied space is also small.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

Diesel Engine Driven Sludge Pump

If the work site have no electric power supply or needs to be equipped with more than 500 KW electric power, we recommend diesel engine as power source. Diesel engines have the following advantages.

1. The diesel engine has the advantage of large torque, It is especially suitable for long-distance transportation and high concentration conditions.
2. When selecting the diesel engine, the engine rotation speed will be calculated according to the requirements of the heavy duty sludge pump. When calculating the heavy duty sludge pump speed ratio, we usually leave a certain amount of allowance. If the heavy duty sludge pump needs to run at the speed which is higher than the designed speed, the diesel engine power also has a certain margin to ensure safe using.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

Hydraulic Power Driven Sludge Pump
There are many types of heavy duty sludge pumps,  the hydraulic station is often selected as the power source in some working conditions nowadays. The hydraulic power uses oil liquid as the working medium and uses the oil liquid pressure energy to transmit power. In this way, the heavy duty sludge pump is easy to control, it has a low failure rate, also have good overload protection.
In fact, there is no clear distinction for which kind of power source is better. As long as it is suitable for working conditions, try to use the most cost-effective and easy-to-operate power. This requires the more professional heavy duty sludge pump manufacturer. When communicating with customers, it is necessary to understand the requirements of the working conditions in detail, to provide the best solution for the customer to meet the requirements.
