Trash Pump

A pump which is designed to pump large amounts of water that contains hard and soft solids such as mud, leaves, twigs, sand, and sludge is called a Trash Pump. A Trash pump is better suited for applications that requires more demanding solid handling capabilities.

Features of Trash Pump

• There are adjustable speed trash pumps which can operate at speeds selected by an operator.
  
  
• The continuous duty trash pumps maintain performance specifications at 100% duty cycle.
  
  
• Run dry capable trash pumps can operate without pumped fluid or external lubrication for an extended period of time.
  
  
• Self-priming trash pumps are designed to create and maintain a vacuum level that is sufficient to draw fluid into the inlet without external assistance.
  
  
• Some trash pumps include a control panel, battery backup, or suction.
  
  
• Important specifications for trash pumps are inlet size, discharge size, maximum discharge flow, maximum discharge pressure, and media temperature.
  
  
• Power sources for trash pumps include AC, direct current, compressed air, gasoline, diesel fuel, natural gas, water, steam, hydraulic systems, and solar energy.
  
  
• Manually powered trash pumps rely upon hand or foot power.
  
  
• There are portable, heavy-duty centrifugal trash pumps that feature deeper impeller vanes and larger discharge openings than other pumps.
  
  
• Trash pumps, which are capable of processing materials with suspended particulates that would clog other centrifugal pumps, can move hundreds or even thousands of gallons per minute.

Applications of Trash Pump:
Trash pumps are used in a variety of applications. They are as follows:

• Agriculture and Horticulture
• Construction
• Flood Control
• Mining
• Oil and Gas Production
• Pulp and Paper Production
