Trash pumps for water containing solids
Trash pumps have large impellers and volutes, which allow solids to pass through. They have a durable construction for abrasion resistance and are usually made from stainless steel or cast iron. Trash pumps often have high flow rates and are well-suited to rapid dewatering. Trash pumps are commonly used in the following industries:
-
Construction sites (removing water from trenches or foundations)
-
Flood cleanup and stormwater management
-
Agricultural and irrigation applications
-
Mining and industrial operations
-
Wastewater and sewage bypass pumping
What are trash pumps?
Trash pumps are heavy-duty centrifugal pumps that are designed to move large volumes of water containing solids and debris. They are built to handle muddy water, leaves, twigs, sand, pebbles and suspended materials without clogging or failure.
How do trash pumps work?
A trash pump has a rotating engine that powers a shaft and spins. Attached to the shaft is an impeller, and as it spins, the water is collected and pushed through the discharge line. Most trash pumps have an open or semi-open impeller design that allows solids such as rocks to pass through.
