Mining Canal Dredging with Less Downtime | EDDY Pump
The hardest part of mining canal dredging is not always the sediment. It is what happens to the rest of the site when the…

Mining Dredging Challenges & Solutions | EDDY Pump
Mining dredging is rarely difficult because a site has sediment. Every mine has sediment, tailings, grit, fines, process water, stormwater runoff, and abrasive material…

How EDDY Pump Handles Up to 70% Solids by Weight
“How can EDDY Pump move slurry containing up to 70% solids by weight?” It is one of the most common questions we hear—and it…

Excavator Pump Attachment Sizing Guide | EDDY Pump
A bigger pump attachment is not automatically a better pump attachment. It has to match the excavator, the material, the pipeline, and the production…

Mine Drainage Canal Sediment Removal | EDDY Pump
A mine drainage canal rarely fails all at once. It loses capacity a little at a time. Sand settles in a bend. Fine tailings…

Why Pump Curves Alone Do Not Predict Slurry Pump Performance
One of the most common questions after a slurry pump installation is simple: "Why is the pump not performing the way the curve said…

Ultimate Guide to Slurry Pumps
A slurry pump moves a mixture of liquid and solid particles. It is used where standard pumps wear out too quickly, clog too easily, or lose efficiency because the material contains abrasive solids, higher density, or larger particles.. Industries use slurry pumps in...
Slurry Pump vs Sand Pump
The Short Answer: Sand Pump vs Slurry Pump The difference between a sand pump and a slurry pump comes down to the type of solids they are expected to handle and how stable the operating conditions are. . A sand pump is typically used for relatively uniform sand or...
Slurry Process Pumps Explained
What Is a Slurry Process Pump and Where It Fits in Industrial Systems A slurry process pump is a type of industrial slurry pump designed to operate as part of a continuous processing system rather than for standalone material transfer. In industrial environments, it...
What Is a Self-Priming Excavator Pump?
A self-priming excavator pump is a pump system that can clear air from the suction side and restore flow without repeated manual priming after the initial fill. In practical terms, that means the pump can restart and recover more easily when air enters the line or...
Slurry Pump vs Dredge Pump: What’s the Difference?
A slurry pump moves mixtures of liquid and solids through a system. A dredge pump does more than transport material. It is built to handle larger, heavier solids and is often part of the excavation process itself. That is the core difference in slurry pump vs dredge...
How Long Do Eddy Pumps Last?
Slurry pumps work in some of the harshest industrial environments. They move abrasive slurry, high solids mixtures, viscous material, and chemically aggressive fluids through systems that often run for long hours without interruption. Under those conditions, pump...
How Far Can You Pump Slurry?
Slurry pumping distance refers to how far a slurry mixture of solids and liquid can be moved through a pipeline before the system can no longer maintain the required flow rate, pressure, or transport stability. In real-world slurry pipeline design, distance is not...
How Many EZ Connect Floats Do I Need?
A dredging project has plenty of variables to manage early on: pump capacity, pipeline layout, discharge distance, and slurry conditions. Float count often gets treated like a simple accessory decision, but it has a direct effect on how the pipeline performs once it...
