The
eradication of toxic sludge is a very specific operation that is carried out in
certain industrial sectors such as dredging, mining and in the extraction of
sand and grav
l. Abrasive slurries are composed of a mixture of
liquids and solid particles difficult to dissolve. This mixture is difficult to
pump and is necessary to use a specific machine of pumping like the industrial peristaltic pumps.
Industrial Peristaltic Pumps, the best for the elimination of muds
Peristaltic pumps are the only ones that manage to eliminate these mud’s so toxic
and difficult to handle. The composition of the sludge and the particles can
vary so it is necessary robust and resistant pumping machines capable of
handling particles of different density. Peristaltic pumps are capable of handling the two types of sludge
that exist, those not sedimented and those sedimented.
These two types of sludge have a different abrasive
impact depending on their composition. Nevertheless, it is advisable to use a peristaltic pump for its handling since the simplicity and the
advantages that they bring make them suitable for the continuous pumping of
this mixture of solids and liquids.
Advantages and composition of a peristaltic pump
Industrial peristaltic pumps are characterized by their simplicity, their benefits and the form of
functioning of its elements. Inside a peristaltic pump and housed in the body of the pump, you can
find a tubular element of very defined dimensions, designed and manufactured in
different types of elastomeric or thermoplastic capable of bearing hard working conditions.
This tubular element is compressed by the rotating
action of the rotor and its rollers or shoes. Subsequently, it is able to
recover the initial shape and creates a vacuum powerful enough to suck and drag
the fluid.
Then the peristaltic pump allows the liquid, in this
case, the mud, to enter the hollow of the rollers and is carried fluidly to the
outlet of the next roller. It´s a volumetric pump with a positive displacement
and with the possibility of turning dry indefinitely.
Its exceptional characteristics such as
self-aspiration, easy to clean, resistance to abrasion and corrosion, minimal
maintenance and able to dose with little margin of error (+/- 1%), make these
machines the perfect partner in extreme pumping operations.
Its applications are varied and can be used in many
operations such as sludge handling, lime slurry handling, press filter feeding,
carbonate removal, sludge, slurry, toxic slurry, or even for liquids and
chemicals such as inks, oils, acids, peroxides, latex and dyes among others.
Dairy industry, wine and liquids sectors where they handle liquids of the class of
wines, sauces, jams, mayonnaises and also meat or concentrated products it´s
where these exceptional machines of pumping stand out.
The handling of the product and its characteristics
does not diminish or reduce the capacities of the peristaltic pumps, and that is that its only element of wear, the
peristaltic hose is a resistant element and easy to change, which reduces the
economic costs.
If you need to remove sludge and toxic liquids, it is
essential to use industrial peristaltic pumps.
