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

Engineered for Reliable Performance in Harsh Pumping Conditions

When dredging, mining, and industrial operations involve abrasive slurries and high concentrations of solids, choosing the right pumping solution is critical. The Dragflow No Clog Pump EL60 RI has been specifically developed to deliver reliable performance in these demanding environments, making it an ideal submersible pump for abrasive materials and a highly efficient high solids content dredging pump.

With more than 25 years of experience in manufacturing heavy-duty submersible pumps and dredging equipment, Dragflow is recognized worldwide for providing innovative solutions that improve productivity and reduce maintenance costs. Designed and manufactured in Verona, Italy, Dragflow pumps are trusted in some of the most challenging applications across the globe.

Introducing the Dragflow EL60 RI No Clog Pump

The EL60 RI is the first model in Dragflow’s new range of recessed impeller pumps, designed to maximize solids passage while minimizing clogging and wear.

Specifications
Model: EL60 RI
Pump Type: No Clog Recessed Impeller Pump
Capacity: Up to 100 m³/h
Power Range: 44–60 kW
Maximum Solids Passage: Up to 100 mm
Applications: Dredging, mining, wastewater treatment, industrial slurry handling

Its advanced design allows operators to move large volumes of solids-laden slurry efficiently and continuously.

The Ideal Submersible Pump for Abrasive Materials

Abrasive materials such as sand, gravel, sediment, and mining tailings can significantly reduce the lifespan of conventional pumps. The Dragflow No Clog Pump is designed to overcome these challenges through its innovative recessed impeller configuration.

Reduced Contact with Abrasive Solids

Unlike traditional slurry pumps, the recessed impeller remains largely outside the primary solids flow path. This minimizes direct interaction between abrasive particles and the impeller.

Key Benefits
Reduced wear on pump components
Longer service life
Lower maintenance costs
Improved operational reliability
Enhanced performance in abrasive applications

This makes the EL60 RI an excellent choice for industries that require a durable submersible pump for abrasive materials.

High Solids Content Dredging Pump for Continuous Productivity

Dredging projects often involve pumping slurries containing large volumes of sediment and debris. The EL60 RI has been specifically engineered to excel in these conditions.

Handles Large Solids with Ease

The pump allows solids up to 100 mm to pass through the casing without obstruction, reducing the likelihood of blockages and maintaining uninterrupted operation.

Advantages for Dredging Operations
Efficient sediment transport
Reduced downtime from clogging
Increased productivity
Reliable performance in demanding environments

As a high solids content dredging pump, the EL60 RI helps operators maintain efficient workflow and meet project deadlines.

Advanced No Clog Technology

The defining feature of the EL60 RI is its ability to prevent clogging while maintaining high pumping efficiency.

How the No Clog Design Works

The recessed impeller creates a natural flow path through the pump casing, allowing solids to move freely without becoming trapped.

This design offers:

Superior solids passage
Reduced maintenance requirements
Improved operational efficiency
Consistent pumping performance

For applications where downtime can be costly, the Dragflow No Clog Pump provides a dependable solution.

Enhanced Hydraulic Efficiency

The EL60 RI is designed to quickly discharge solids, reducing internal recirculation and improving hydraulic performance.

Performance Benefits
Increased hydraulic efficiency
Reduced energy consumption
Better flow characteristics
Lower operating costs
Extended equipment lifespan

This combination of efficiency and durability delivers long-term value for operators across multiple industries.

Gentle Handling of Fragile Solids

In addition to handling abrasive materials, the EL60 RI can transport fragile solids with minimal risk of damage.

Because only a small portion of solids comes into contact with the impeller:

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

This versatility expands the pump’s suitability for a variety of industrial applications.
