Advanced Slurry Pump Solutions for African Dredging Projects by Dragflow

Dredging and mining operations across Africa face some of the world’s most challenging conditions, including abrasive materials, corrosive environments, and high solid concentrations. To meet these demands, Dragflow delivers proven electric dredging pump solutions, engineered for reliability, efficiency, and long service life.

As a world leader in solid pumping solutions, Dragflow supports a wide range of African dredging projects, from mining and quarrying to port development and inland waterway maintenance.

Dragflow: Global Expertise in Harsh Slurry Applications

With over 25 years of experience, Dragflow specializes in the design and manufacture of heavy-duty submersible dredging pumps and complete dredging systems for the dredging, mining, and industrial sectors. From its advanced manufacturing facility in Verona, Italy, Dragflow produces both electric and hydraulic-driven submersible pumps, purpose-built for tough site conditions.

These pumps are especially designed to handle slurries with:

High concentrations of abrasive solids

Low pH slurry environments

High specific gravity slurry mixtures

This makes Dragflow equipment ideal for Africa’s mining-intensive and geologically diverse regions.

Specialized Slurry Pump Technologies
🔹 Low pH Slurry Pump

Dragflow low pH slurry pumps are engineered with wear-resistant and corrosion-tolerant materials, ensuring reliable operation in acidic conditions commonly found in mining tailings, mineral processing plants, and industrial dredging projects across Africa.

🔹 High Specific Gravity Slurry Pump

For applications involving dense, heavy slurries, Dragflow’s high specific gravity slurry pumps deliver consistent performance while minimizing downtime. These pumps are widely used in mineral extraction, sand mining, and quarry dredging operations.

🔹 Agitator Dredge Pump

The Dragflow agitator dredge pump is equipped with a powerful agitator that loosens compacted sediments and solids before pumping. This design ensures higher solid concentration, improved efficiency, and reduced need for auxiliary excavation equipment.

Supporting African Dredging Projects

Dragflow pumps and dredgers have been successfully supplied for a wide range of African dredging projects, including:

Mining and mineral processing dredging

Sand mining and beach reclamation

Deep sea harbor and port dredging

Cleaning of lakes, rivers, and dams

Industrial slurry handling applications

Their robust design and adaptability make them particularly suitable for remote locations and demanding operating environments across the African continent.
