With the continuous development of the water pump industry, the use of water pumps is becoming increasingly widespread. As a specialized pump for sand and mineral extraction, sand suction pumps have driven the development of an industry. Therefore, sand suction pumps are mainly used in the following five fields.
1. Mining industry (beneficiation plants)
The main purpose of sand suction pumps is to be used in the mining industry. Some beneficiation plants are the main customers of sand suction pumps, which are called slurry pumps, tailings pumps, etc. in the mining industry. The solid slurry particles in the mine cannot be manually cleaned, but the sand suction pump can easily remove them. Due to the harsh operating environment of mines, the lifespan of pumps is greatly affected, which requires manufacturers to choose high-quality products when selecting sand suction pumps.
2. Power industry (power plants)
In our country, hydropower and thermal power generation are the main methods. Thermal power plants generate a lot of ash mixed with scale through coal-fired power generation, which requires sand suction pumps to clean it up. Therefore, thermal power plants are also known as ash pumps.
3. Coal washing industry
Due to the large size of coal blocks, which are mostly solid blocks and prone to blockage, the coal washing industry has very high requirements for pumps and must choose high flow and high throughput sand suction pumps. Many pumps cannot meet these requirements. In 2005, China independently developed and designed a sand suction pump suitable for the coal washing industry to solve the blockage problem.
4. Seawater beneficiation sand
In the seawater sand selection industry, sand suction pumps are also known as sand suction pumps, mineral sand pumps, etc. The sand suction pumps in the seawater sand selection industry transport smaller particles of sand, making them suitable for selection. Screening mineral deposits such as sand gold, iron sand, and rare metals from seawater.
5. Dredging and dredging
When dredging rivers and dredging fish ponds, sand suction pumps are also known as dredging pumps, mud pumps, and dredging pumps, which can be used in conjunction with cutter suction boats.
Although sand suction pumps have a wide range of applications, it is important to choose a suitable sand suction pump and model based on the characteristics of your industry during use. Sand suction pumps are different from clean water pumps, so it is important to choose reasonable materials and accessories during production.
