Advantages
Sludge pumps inherently offer a number
of significant advantages over screw or belt conveyors.
Pumping sludge through a pipeline contains odors
for a safe and secure working environment.
Sludge pumps are capable of pumping thick, heavy
sludges, which may not be practical for belt or screw
conveyors. This is particularly important when the sludges
are to be dried or burned in an incinerator.
A pipeline experiences little or no wear and,
therefore, maintenance is very low as compared to the
belt or screw conveyors.
A pump and pipeline require less space, and
are capable of transporting material around corners
with simple elbows.
Sludge pumps also offer reduction in noise over
mechanical conveyors, and offer greater cleanliness
and elimination of odor.
