Solids Handling Pumps

Solids Handling Submersible Pumps

From shopping centers to wastewater management facilities, clogs are never a good thing. With solids handling submersible pumps from Industrial Flow Solutions™, you don’t need to worry about a clog delaying a workday or dismaying a customer.

Solids handling pumps help pass solids, trash, and stringy material, often with the assistance of an impeller or a dedicated cutting/shredding/grinding mechanism. These pumps allow for easy pumping and transporting of fluids mixed with a concentration of solids. Industrial Flow Solutions specializes in the design, manufacturing, sales, & service of solids handling submersible pumps to a wide range of industries including municipal water & wastewater, food & beverage, commercial buildings, and more.

What Is A Solids Handling Pump?

Solid handling pumps – also known as solids handling shredder pumps or solids handling slurry pumps – are constructed of durable stainless steel or cast iron with oil-filled motors. These no-clog systems mean no downtime from a clogged pump, reduced maintenance, and no debris or trash removal. Solids handling submersible pumps are available with up to 30 horsepower and are frequently fitted with a shredding impeller, that can break, shred, and rip solids to pieces.

  string(879) "Boiler Blowouts: Renewable energy plant installs hi-temp slurry pumps to eradicate pump failures. Covanta Energy is one of North America’s largest owners and operators of waste-to-energy plants and other renewable power facilities. Their 60+ facilities produce electricity for about one million homes. The Covanta Dade energy plant in Florida processes 4,200 tons of municipal solid waste and biomass fuel daily. The plant burns that waste to produce electricity, boiling water to turn turbines that generate 77 megawatts of power. During the boiler blowout procedure, 185°F water is pumped from the system to minimize buildup of scale and corrosion. Read about Covanta engineers' pump solution that could stand up to 185°F water, was resistant to corrosion and abrasive sand and grit, and a pump that was available with the high head option needed for the application."
