Flooded Suction Centrifugal Slurry Pumps
Efficient Fluid Transfer with Advanced Pump
Flooded suction pumps, offered in both vertical and horizontal configurations, play a crucial role in transferring slurry and liquids between various storage systems, such as tanks and hoppers. These pumps are strategically positioned externally and below the liquid level, utilizing gravity to maintain a consistent prime and ensure smooth, uninterrupted operation.
This setup allows for quick and efficient starts and stops, with the pump chamber and piping naturally filling with liquid. Horizontal designs are preferred for their easy maintenance, while vertical designs are perfect for environments where space is limited. Mazowe Dredge is a trusted leader in the pump and dredge industry, particularly in challenging regions like Zimbabwe.
At Mazowe Dredge, we specialize in designing and engineering durable vertical and horizontal flooded suction pumps equipped with non-clogging impellers. Our pumps are built to meet and exceed the highest industry standards for reliability and durability, ensuring our customers receive top-quality products. These high-performance pumps are available at competitive prices. Contact us today for expert guidance in selecting the perfect pump solution for your needs!

Diverse Applications of Flooded Suction Pumps
Flooded suction pumps are vital across various industries, including agriculture, oil and gas, sand and gravel pumping, and mining. Unlike submersible pumps that function underwater, these pumps are installed externally, relying on gravity to maintain a consistent prime without the need for additional vacuum pumps. This design streamlines installation and maintenance, making them a reliable choice for a variety of industrial applications.
Often paired with an electric motor, flooded suction pumps allow for precise control of startup speeds and operational settings, such as flow rate and pressure, through the use of a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). The VFD adjusts the motor’s frequency and voltage, enabling fine-tuned control over the pump’s performance, ensuring efficient operation while minimizing energy consumption. In locations where electric power isn’t available, diesel-driven motors are an effective alternative. To ensure continuous operation, especially with thicker materials, a consistent liquid feed is necessary—this may require a self-priming pump or vacuum pump to assist in the liquid’s movement. Mazowe Dredge provides a wide range of self-priming pumps, offering reliable solutions tailored to meet your specific pumping requirements in Zimbabwe.
