EDDY Pump’s unique pump design originated in 1984. Throughout the years the EDDY Pump has been put to the test in countless applications involving heavy slurry. Time and time the EDDY Pump has provided value greater than that of traditional pumps in heavy slurry applications. The large internal flow path enables the pump to pass extremely large solids, and the recessed rotor reduces the potential for wear due to the abrasive nature of heavy slurry. Added to this, the unique ability to provide a turbulent flow means that the operation of the EDDY Pump avoids allowing heavy slurry to settle at the bottom of the liquid path, which can decrease potential clogging issues internal to the pump.

Slurries are very difficult to pump, and many traditional pump types are not suited for this type of application. Heavy slurries are abrasive, solid laden, highly viscous, and much heavier than water. Although pumping slurry is very difficult, pumping heavy slurry is much more challenging due to the increased weight of the material. This type of application is extremely difficult for water pumps and other types of centrifugal pumps because they are not designed to pump heavy slurries. Water pumps and centrifugal pumps are commonly misapplied to slurry and heavy slurry applications, but are more suited for applications that involve thin fluids. Ultra duty mud and slurry pumps are specifically designed for the harder to pump, heavier slurries found in many industrial settings such as mining, manufacturing, and construction applications.

The design of a slurry pump is critical to making sure that the abrasive and often corrosive aspects of the slurry does not destroy the impeller. Additionally, slurry and sludge may contain large unforeseen solids that will inevitably clog many types of pumps. Since most centrifugal pumps have an impeller with a close tolerance to the volute, the abrasive and sometimes corrosive nature of the slurry will quickly wear the volute and ruin the tolerance. This, in turn, causes the pump to lose its suction capability. This causes massive downtime with slurry pumps along with costly maintenance and spare parts.
For this reason, the EDDY Pump is ideal for slurry pumping applications. The EDDY Pump does not have an impeller, but instead a rotor that does not have any critical tolerances. This allows it to pump slurry at rates of 30% and solids up to 12 inches. This is far more than what centrifugal pumps can handle without any failure or need to change wear parts.
