Flooded Suction Centrifugal Slurry Pumps
Efficient Fluid Transfer with Flooded Suction Solutions
Flooded suction pumps, available in vertical and horizontal configurations, are essential for transferring slurry and liquid between tanks, hoppers, and other storage systems. These pumps, installed externally and positioned at or below the liquid level, leverage gravity to remain consistently primed.
This setup ensures efficient operation, with the chamber and piping filling with water for quick and easy starts and stops. The horizontal style is more common due to its ease of maintenance, while the vertical design is ideal for space-limited environments.Pump and Dredge Direct is your trusted partner and a renowned leader in the pump and dredge industry, particularly in challenging environments like Canada.
We specialize in designing and engineering robust vertical and horizontal flooded suction pumps with non-clog impellers. Our pumps are built to exceed the highest industry standards for reliability and durability, instilling confidence in our customers. These premium-quality pumps are offered at competitive prices.

Versatile Applications of Flooded Suction Pumps
Flooded suction pumps are versatile workhorses in various industrial sectors, such as agriculture, oil and gas, sand and gravel pumping, and mining. Flood suction pumps are positioned outside the liquid, unlike submersible pumps, which operate submerged in liquid. These gravity-fed systems do not require a vacuum pump for priming, simplifying their setup and maintenance and making them a reliable choice for diverse needs.
Typically paired with an electric motor, flooded suction pumps achieve optimal control over startup speeds and operational parameters like flow and pressure through a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). A VFD varies the frequency and voltage supplied to the motor, allowing precise control of the pump’s performance, ensuring efficient operation, and reducing energy consumption. Diesel-driven motors are also available for environments where electric power is not feasible. To ensure continuous operation, it’s crucial that liquid consistently feeds into the system; thicker materials might require a self-priming pump or vacuum pump to aid in liquid movement. Pump and Dredge Direct offers a range of self-priming pumps, providing reliable solutions for all pumping needs.
