Overview

Grindex sludge pumps prove their non-stop reliability in countless demanding areas. Grindex sludge pumps are designed for professional use in tough applications like mines, construction sites, tunnel sites, and other demanding industries.

Made for continuous, unattended operation, the pumps have proven their reliability and dependable performance in demanding applications around the world. With industrial strength, they are a perfect choice when pumping water with a high solids content, up to 80mm diameter such as many types of mud sludge and light slurry.

Product Information

Overview Design

Based on the same basic design as the drainage pumps, the sludge pumps come into action when the liquid gets dirtier than can be handled by the drainage pumps. The design even permits converting between drainage and sludge models allowing you to adapt the pump according to the varying conditions.
