What Is a Solids Handling Pump?

A solids handling pump is designed to move liquids containing significant amounts of suspended solids without clogging or excessive wear. Unlike conventional pumps, these systems are engineered to manage abrasive materials, dense slurries, and large solid particles while maintaining consistent performance.

Typical materials handled include:

Sand
Gravel
Silt
Sediment
Bentonite
Sludge
Mining tailings
Industrial waste solids
Aggregate mixtures

The Dragflow EL 1204 HH is specifically developed to excel in these challenging conditions.
