Agitator Submersible Dredging Pump

Hydroman™ Agitator Submersible Dredging Pump is designed for pumping sand, gravel and rock notably in mining and the dredging industry. It is a pump and an excavator at the same time. The design incorporates the renowned patented Hydroman agitator, attached directly on the pump shaft, closed impeller, large open passages for easy passage of solids, heavy duty shaft and bearing configuration, special seals working in an oil bath and 4, 6, 8 or 10 pole customs built electric motor with 1.35 service factor. The impeller, wear plate liners, volute casing and the agitator are manufactured in cast chrome iron (27 to 28%). Two adjustable wear plates allow optimizing hydraulic efficiency of the dredge pump.

Design Features:

▪ Hydroman Electric Motors are all Class H insulated and have a minimum 1.25 service factor.

▪ Hydroman Submersible Dredging Pumps are equipped with a unique lip seal system to prevent material from penetrating the seal.

▪ High quality abrasion resistance materials ensure long life of all components.

▪ Temperature sensor, embedded in the electric motor, and Moisture sensor, in the oil chamber, are available options to protect the pump in the most demanding application.

▪ Adjustable Hi-Chrome suction side Wear Plate maintains maximum performance for extended periods by a simple adjustment of the gap between the wear plate and the impeller.

▪ Replaceable wear parts: casings, impellers, wear plates all can be replaced independently.

▪ Lube Oil Inspection Ports: a wide angle port outside the submersible slurry pump ensures easy inspection of shaft seal oil levels as well as providing easy access for oil replacement.

▪ The excavating action is created by the Hi-Chrome agitator blades that lift settled sediments which then get sucked into the submersible Dredging pump, creating a continuous flow of concentrated slurry.
