Sludge Pumps

Rugged and reliable sludge pumps

proudly distributed to Australian Industry by Hydro Innovations

Hydro Innovations offer sludge pumps for both high and low solids concentrations. For low concentrations [up to 4-5% solids by volume], Gorman-Rupp Super T or Ultra V Series pumps are ideal sludge pumps. For concentrations in excess of this, Ragazzini’s “Rotho” range of peristaltic pumps only have one part [the hose] in contact with the sludge, have no seals to clog, can run dry without damage and are the easiest sludge pump to service.

The Gorman-Rupp Super T Series pump with Eradicator™ Solids Management System are a series of self-priming centrifugal pumps designed specifically for handling municipal and industrial wastewater containing stringy, difficult-to-pump, solids in suspension (such as wet wipes, rags and feathers).

They have been designed for economical, trouble-free operation, with design features that deliver superior solids handling capability and a large inspection cover to access pump internals for service or blockage removal. Gorman-Rupp Super T Series wastewater and sewage pumps have been used for pumping of WAS and RAS and for digester recirculation with great success in wastewater treatment plants around the country, as well as food process plants, paper mills and other heavy industries. The Eradicator™ system advances the solids handling capabilities of this range.

Advantages include:

  • Ability to mount high and dry above the wet well [not in it]
  • Low cost of ownership
  • Greatly reduced OH&S issues
  • Easy access for monitoring or service
  • Advanced safety features to protect operators
  • Improved maintenance features to greatly reduce maintenance time and costs, with removable rotating assembly
  • A variety of materials of construction to handle abrasive and/or corrosive fluids

Further advantages include:

  • Handle a range of applications  including food products, abrasives, chemicals and solids
  • High performance including pressures to 15 BAR, reversible flow, and suction lifts
  • Easy maintenance including easy hose replacement and easy leak detection
  • CIP with retractable rollers
  • Greater operator safety
  • Easy access for monitoring or service
  • A variety of hose materials  to handle food, pharmaceuticals, abrasive and/or corrosive fluids
