Performance CharacteristicsPump Rate
for some typical materials.
The synchronized swirling action releases the residual suspended water, which then acts as a lubricant between the pump casing and the material, enabling the material to be pumped. In applications such as the removal of contaminated sediment, the free standing surface water will not be utilized to pump the material and will not be re-contaminated as a result of the pumping process. Eddy Pumps can handle many different types of solids. Sand, silty sediment, sludge, gravel, mine-tailings and clay have all been pumped successfully with an Eddy Pump. Not only have these materials been pumped, but also the solids content of the material stream has far exceeded the capability of standard centrifugal pumps. In addition, solid objects up to one inch of the diameter of the pump suction can be pumped without plugging.

The ability of the Eddy Pump to function,
while submersed in sludge or sediment makes
it possible to pump material with less
than 5% free water.
