Heger - Model LD Series -Submersible Slurry Pumps

An agitator for slurry pump creates a high velocity water stream away from the pump suction, impacts the sand or whatever material in such a way that it gets put in suspension. This creates a fluid / solid mixture around the pump suction that can then be easily pumped. (remember we only have air pressure plus submergence for placing/pushing the material into the pump suction. Solid contents of up to 30 – 40% can be reached. A submersible slurry pump without mechanical agitation will only pump the water, leaving the solids behind to accumulate around your pump intake, and eventually starve the pump by blocking the intake.
