We offer submersible pumps for several applications, including mines, manholes, construction sites, sewage and other areas with a high concentration of solids. Submersible pumps, which are more efficient than jet pumps, contain a hermetically sealed motor and are used for pushing fluid to the surface. These solids, which would have otherwise buried and starved the pump of liquid, are pulled into the pump and pushed on through the discharge keeping the intake clear and free of slurry accumulation. Agitator pumps deliver kinetic energy (energy of motion) to slurry solids surrounding the pump intake, re-suspending them into a fluid state. Since water always flows to the path of least resistance, a pump without mechanical agitation will only pump the water, leaving the solids behind to accumulate around your pump intake, and eventually starving the pump by blocking the intake.

Our platforms can be customized to meet the demands of your unique application.įor industrial, mining, milling, power plant, water treatment, sewage, organic waste, or anywhere slurry solids have a tendency to accumulate, agitator pumps are the answer. Need to float your pump? Piranha offers a variety of our FP-Series Flotation Platforms for your pumping and flotation needs. Cost-effective pumping over the lifetime of the application is made possible by selecting the right features for a given environment. These features have been specified to optimize performance in applications such as: coal and slurry transfer, sand and gravel dewatering, tank sludge clean-out, mill scale and ash transfer, barge clean-out and dewatering and pond reclamation. Additionally, long, reliable pump life is bolstered by high efficiency 1800 RPM motors, class F motor insulation, double mechanical seals, a 410 stainless steel rotor and shaft sleeve, a cooling jacket and heavy-duty, 5-conductor cable.

Wet end components are constructed with abrasive-resistant (HRC 58-60 hardness), high-chromium alloy steel. Our pumps proudly uphold the Piranha brand promise for a specific set of application criteria. The design, and material specification, frelect Piranha’s unwavering commitment to supply quality products that help our customers become more profitable. Our heavy-duty slurry pumps are ideal for pumping sludge, slurry and heavily contaminated liquids. Piranha excels in the most demanding applications.
