Where the JPH-4000 Cable-Mounted Pump Excels in the Field
Mining Tailings Reclamation
Efficiently pumps thick tailings from settling ponds, enabling faster reclamation and reducing environmental risks. With its ability to handle highly abrasive and dense slurries, the hydraulic cable-deployed pump is a reliable solution for mining waste management and site rehabilitation.
Deep-Water Dredging Projects
Deployed via crane or barge, this pump can reach depths of up to 100 feet, making it ideal for removing sediment from reservoirs, ports, or offshore structures. Its high-head capability and powerful hydraulic operation ensure continuous performance even in submerged environments.
Barge and Hopper Unloading
Eliminates the need for crane-and-bucket systems when unloading sand, gravel, or sludge from barges. The pump’s large solid-passing capacity and clog-resistant design streamline material transfer, resulting in less downtime.
Sand and Agricultural Material Recovery
Recovers sand, silt, or nutrient-rich agricultural runoff from ponds and basins with minimal water displacement. Ideal for resource reclamation and reducing material loss during production or storm events.
Oil & Gas Sludge Removal
Handles viscous sludges and drilling muds in refineries, fracking sites, and offshore platforms. The optional jetting ring agitator breaks up settled solids, ensuring efficient suction in challenging hydrocarbon-laden environments.
Fly-Ash and Coal Residue Cleanup
Pumps dense fly-ash slurries from power plant basins or coal ash ponds with ease. The high chrome components resist wear, providing a long-lasting solution for hazardous waste containment maintenance.
Industrial Slurry and Waste Removal

Deep-Water Dredging at Remote Mining Site, Western Canada
Case Study
The Challenge
A major mining operation faced a serious bottleneck in reclaiming one of its legacy tailings ponds, which had accumulated highly viscous, mineral-rich sludge over several years. The pond was over 90 feet deep, with limited access and soft-bottom conditions that ruled out the use of conventional dredging barges or excavator-based systems. Previous attempts using centrifugal pumps had led to frequent clogging and inconsistent flow due to the high solids concentration, often exceeding 60% by weight.
The Solution
The EDDY Pump JPH‑4000 was deployed via crane using a heavy-duty cable suspension system. Powered by an 80cc hydraulic motor operating at 35 GPM and 5,000 PSI, the pump was equipped with a 28-jet jetting ring, delivering 760 GPM at 150 PSI to break up the compacted material before intake.
With a suction inlet of 6 inches and solids handling capabilities of up to 3 inches in diameter, the JPH-4000 proved ideal for deep deployment. A magnetic flow meter and pressure sensor were also installed to monitor performance and prevent downtime.
The Result
- Achieved continuous flow of 1,000+ GPM, even at 90 ft dredging depth
- Pumped slurry with 60–65% solids by weight without clogging
- Over 10,000 cubic yards of tailings were removed in under 6 weeks
- Zero unplanned maintenance stoppages during the operation
- Reduced operational crew by 40% thanks to remote pump monitoring
- Site environmental compliance goals met two months ahead of deadline
