Self-Priming Diesel Driven Pumps
Trailer, skid, or stationary mounted self-priming pump setup. Buy or Rent.
ANY PUMP CAN DELIVER
But Only the EDDY Pump Can Move Solids That Destroy All Other Pumps.
PUMP HIGHLY VISCOUS MATERIALS WITH LOW DOWNTIME
The diesel driven self-priming pump incorporates a vacuum-assisted priming unit with the pump. This fills the pump with slurry or target material, which allows the main EDDY Pump to work.
DRY PRIME CAPABILITY WITH UNIQUE SEAL SUPPORT SYSTEM
Most EDDY Pumps are submersible; however, with a self-priming unit, the pump and power unit are not submerged. The suction hose goes into the slurry, making the unit like a super-sized wet vacuum.
MAIN APPLICATIONS:
Mining, Sand/Agg, Sewage/Wastewater, Chemical, Irrigation, Sump Pit Cleanouts, Digester Tanks, Dewatering, and More!

Why EDDY Pumps are better – highlights
This video shows how EDDY Pump beats out traditional centrifugal pumps regarding tough slurry and abrasive materials. EDDY Pump is at the heart of our featured dredge pump equipment, including the Remote Operated Subdredge, Diver Operated Pump, and the Excavator Attachment Dredge Pump. More Videos HERE.
EDDY PUMP FOR DEWATERING
This Video shows a smaller electric 3-Inch EDDY Self-Prime flowing at 400 GPM (2 cu yd) of slurry at distances of 400 ft in under a minute.
4-inch and 6-inch Diesel Trailer Units Are Most Popular
The core of this design is the patented EDDY Pump technology. The design redefines the pumping industry by being the only pump that utilizes the principles of a tornado to create a synchronized eddy current. This pump is not a centrifugal, positive displacement, or vortex pump but the most highly efficient high solids and high specific gravity pump on the market.
An ideal system for pumping the most viscous and heavy materials without clogging or having significant downtime. Lower downtime and maintenance issues versus conventional centrifugal or positive displacement pumps will save your project money. Pump size options range from the 2-inch slurry pump to a 12-inch option. Our system handles pumping distances over 3500 feet and production rates up to 4000 GPM.

Why EDDY Pumps Are Better
How The EDDY Pump Works
We are a US dredge equipment and commercial slurry pump manufacturer. Only EDDY Pump equipment is sold here.
EDDY Pumps patented pump technology outperforms all centrifugal, vortex and positive displacement pumps in a variety of the most challenging pumping applications, especially pumping applications moving 40-70% solids. Our pump design allows for longer intervals between maintenance, which translates to increased output, uptime, and higher profits.

EDDY Pump Deployment Options
Flooded Suction Pumps
The fluid to be pumped with flooded suction pumps is positioned above the pump. With the pump positioned below, gravity can feed the fluid into the pump’s suction and keep the pump primed.
Submersible Pumps
Pumps that are completely submerged in the liquid are called submersible pumps. By being submerged in the fluid to be pumped, there is no need for priming the pump.
Self-Priming Pumps
With a self-priming unit, the pump and power unit are not submerged. The suction hose goes into the slurry and the unit acts like a super-sized wet dry vacuum. Can be trailer mounted for added mobility.
