Frequently Asked Questions

What is a solid handling pump?

A solid handling pump is a specialized centrifugal pump designed to transport liquids containing suspended solids, particles, or slurries. These pumps feature robust impeller designs, wear-resistant materials, and optimized hydraulics to handle abrasive solids content up to 40% without clogging or excessive wear, making them ideal for mining, chemical processing, and wastewater applications.

Can centrifugal pumps handle solids?

Yes, specially designed centrifugal pumps can effectively handle solids. Chemitek's centrifugal pumps feature open or semi-open impeller designs, larger clearances, and robust construction materials like titanium and exotic alloys to handle suspended solids and slurries up to 40% content without compromising performance or reliability.

Can diaphragm pumps handle solids?

While diaphragm pumps can handle some solids, centrifugal pumps like Chemitek's designs are more suitable for continuous high-volume solids handling applications. Our centrifugal pumps offer superior flow rates up to 1400 m³/hr, better efficiency, and lower maintenance compared to diaphragm pumps for industrial solids handling requirements.

Can a sump pump handle solids?

Basic sump pumps handle limited solids, but for industrial applications requiring reliable solids handling, Chemitek's process pumps are engineered specifically for this purpose. Our pumps feature ANSI/ASME B73.1 compliance, investment cast construction, and specialized hydraulics designed for continuous solids handling in demanding industrial environments.

What materials are best for solids handling pump construction?

The best materials depend on the application. For abrasive solids, hardened alloys, stainless steel grades like SS316L, or exotic alloys like Hastelloy provide excellent wear resistance. For corrosive slurries, premium fluoropolymers like PVDF, PFA, and FEP offer superior chemical resistance while maintaining excellent solids handling capabilities.

How do I maintain a solids handling pump for optimal performance?

Regular maintenance includes monitoring wear parts, checking mechanical seal condition, inspecting impeller clearances, and maintaining proper suction conditions. Chemitek provides comprehensive maintenance support, spare parts availability, and AMC contracts to ensure optimal pump performance and extended operational life in solids handling applications.
