Dragflow No Clog Pump EL60 RI: The Ideal Submersible Pump for Abrasive Materials and High-Solids Dredging

Reliable Performance for Tough Slurry and Dredging Applications

Industries such as dredging, mining, wastewater treatment, and sediment management require pumping equipment that can withstand extreme operating conditions. The Dragflow No Clog Pump EL60 RI has been specifically designed to handle abrasive slurries and large solid particles, making it an excellent submersible pump for abrasive materials and a dependable high solids content dredging pump.

Backed by over 25 years of expertise, Dragflow is a global leader in solid pumping solutions and heavy-duty dredging equipment. Manufactured in Verona, Italy, Dragflow pumps are engineered to deliver superior reliability, efficiency, and durability in some of the most demanding environments worldwide.

Introducing the Dragflow EL60 RI No Clog Pump

The EL60 RI is the first model in Dragflow’s innovative range of recessed impeller pumps. Designed to minimize clogging while maximizing solids handling capabilities, this pump offers a practical solution for applications involving abrasive materials and high-density slurries.

Key Specifications
Pump Model: EL60 RI
Pump Type: No Clog Recessed Impeller Pump
Maximum Capacity: 100 m³/h
Power Range: 44–60 kW
Maximum Solids Passage: Up to 100 mm

With its ability to transport large solids efficiently, the EL60 RI is engineered for continuous operation in challenging pumping conditions.

A Submersible Pump for Abrasive Materials

Handling abrasive materials such as sand, gravel, sediment, and mining tailings can quickly wear down conventional pumps. The Dragflow No Clog Pump addresses this challenge through its advanced recessed impeller design.

Reduced Wear on Critical Components

Unlike traditional slurry pumps, the recessed impeller is positioned away from the main flow of solids. This means that only a small percentage of abrasive particles come into direct contact with the impeller.

Benefits include:

Lower wear rates
Extended component life
Reduced maintenance requirements
Lower operating costs

This design makes the EL60 RI a highly effective submersible pump for abrasive materials in demanding industrial and mining environments.

High Solids Content Dredging Pump for Continuous Operation

One of the key advantages of the EL60 RI is its ability to handle slurries with a high concentration of solids.

Superior Solids Passage

The pump allows solids up to 100 mm in diameter to pass through the casing, significantly reducing the risk of blockages.

Advantages include:

Improved operational reliability
Reduced downtime
Continuous pumping performance
Enhanced productivity

As a high solids content dredging pump, the EL60 RI is ideal for projects where large volumes of sediment and debris must be moved efficiently.

Advanced No Clog Technology

Clogging is one of the most common issues affecting slurry pumps. The Dragflow EL60 RI has been specifically designed to overcome this problem.

No Clog Benefits
Efficient passage of large solids
Reduced risk of pump shutdowns
Improved workflow efficiency
Lower maintenance intervention

This innovative design enables operators to maintain productivity even in highly demanding dredging and slurry transfer applications.

Improved Hydraulic Efficiency

The natural flow path within the pump casing allows solids to move quickly through the system, reducing internal recirculation.

This results in:

Higher hydraulic efficiency
Better flow performance
Reduced energy consumption
Increased pump lifespan

The EL60 RI delivers the performance required for large-scale industrial and dredging operations while helping to control operating costs.

Gentle Handling of Fragile Solids

The recessed impeller configuration not only reduces wear but also minimizes damage to fragile materials being transported.

Since only a small portion of solids contacts the impeller:

Material integrity is preserved
Product degradation is minimized
Sensitive materials can be transferred safely

This feature expands the pump’s versatility across various industrial applications.

Applications of the Dragflow No Clog Pump

The EL60 RI is suitable for a wide range of sectors requiring reliable solids handling.
