The new portable Flygt 2600 Sludge Pump Series which is seen here, was released worldwide in mid-2011, is versatile and adaptable to most working conditions that require dependable handling of liquids containing solids. This series tackles the tough challenge of moving sludge and other liquids with ease, without clogging.
The pumps are designed for temporary sewage pumping, digester cleaning at wastewater treatment plants, light slurry transfer, open-pit and underground mine dewatering and emergency site drainage.
The highly versatile Flygt 2600 Sludge Pump can move sediment-filled water from a construction site, pump light slurry in an aggregate washing process or remove water and drilling mud mixtures from the face of tunnel boring machines. The hydraulics of the sludge pumps and drainage pumps are interchangeable, making it possible for users to adapt one 2600 pump to handle many different applications. The hydraulic ends of the new sludge pumps share drive units and common parts, and are interchangeable with similar sized models of the Flygt 2600 series.
Radically engineered from the ground up, these robust, versatile pumps deliver unmatched wear resistance, consistent performance over time and ease of service. The result is lower total cost of ownership when buying the pumps or lower operating and maintenance costs when renting them.
Flygt 2600 Sludge Pumps pass solids up to 80 mm in size and solids concentrations of approximately 20% by weight due to a larger inlet, pump volute, vortex impeller and side discharge. This ensures maximum uptime for temporary pumping applications. Fewer components, such as the company's unique one-piece Plug-InTM seal and external oil and inspection plugs make maintenance quick and easy. A watertight terminal board provides an additional barrier to water ingress.
Flygt 2600 Sludge Pumps are available from ITT and the organisation's strength lies in its ability to combine dewatering products, services and application know-how to create dry workspaces for a wide range of industries.
