OverviewEPN dual-purpose horizontal sludge pump used both on board and land is a trash pump and is designed in the reference of two phase flow theory. It has the following models: 250EPN-30, 250EPN-35, 250EPN-40, 350EPN-24, 350EPN-35, 350EPN-45 and 400EPN-22. Through the experiments and operation tests, the pump has the characteristics of high hydraulic efficiency, good wear-resisting property, as well as stable performance when conveying the medium with solid particles. The pump is applicable for dredging inland channel, exploiting seashore, and conveying the slurries with solid particles for coal mine enterprises, mine enterprises, power plants, etc. The concentration of the conveyed medium is more than 40% and the particle size is up to 50mm. In recent years, the pump has been widely used to sand pumping barge and blowing ship for cleaning silt, and used on land for conveying the slurry in long distance.
The pump is applicable for pumping sand for building, powdery sand, silt, tailing slurry, ore, iron sand ore, sediment in sewage treatment works, etc.
Structural Property1、The EPN sludge pump mainly comprises a pump body, an impeller, a guard plate, a pump cover, a bracket, a bearing assembly and so on.
2、The pump body, the impeller and the guard plate can be made of gray cast-iron, abrasion resistant alloy and non-metal wear resistant material, from which the users can select according to purpose.
3、The pump body, the impeller and the guard plate can be made of gray cast-iron, abrasion resistant alloy and non-metal wear resistant material, from which the users can select according to purpose.
4、The rotation direction of the pump is anticlockwise and the outlet of the pump is on the right from the horizontal direction if judging from the water inlet. The water outlet can be adjusted within 360 degrees according to the demands.

application Indication
1、After the sludge pump is fixed in the working field, please check whether the main shaft of the prime mover and the main shaft of the pump are in the same axes; if no, please perform precise adjustment.
2、The water inlet and outlet pipes of the pump should be supported to avoid pipes compress on the pump body. The pipes should be extended outwards from the suction and discharge flanges during installation, and immediately supported and positioned.
3、When the sludge pump is working, the packing chamber should be filled with high pressure clear water to protect the gland cover assembly. When the main pump is in normal work, the high pressure clear water pump should not be closed. The pressure of the clear water should be greater than the working pressure of the sludge pump. The packing chamber assembly will be worn in a short time if not protected by the high pressure clear water.
4、The suction stroke in the pump performance table refers to cavitation resistive property of the pump in the condition of normal temperature clear water. The inlet pressure of the pump should be positive possibly when the pump is in mud pumping operation. The flow rate and the pump lift of the pump should be affected if the mud contains bigger solid particles, so the medium condition should be taken into consideration in model selection.
5、The clearance between the impeller and the front and back lining boards should be adjusted when the wearing parts such as the impeller and the lining boards are replaced. The size of the axial clearance between the impeller and the lining boards has great influence on the performance and the service life of the pump.
6、Please fill lubricating grease to the bearing parts in right amount in time.
7、If there are abnormal shock and noise and overhigh temperature rise of the bearing in the working of the pump, please stop the machine o check.
