Heavy-duty pumps for sludge and abrasive media
Bredel heavy-duty sludge pumps (photo) are designed for centrifuge and belt-press feed. They have only one wearing part — the hose — so there are no rotors, stators or lobes to replace, and no mechanical seals or packing to leak. Bredel pumps can handle flows as high as 475 gal/min with suction lift to 30 ft, and they are dry-running and reversible. The pumps are also suitable for applications that require processing abrasive materials. Bredel hose pumps do not require ancillaries, such as degassing valves or backpressure valves, to operate, which lowers overall costs, says the manufacturer.
