Vacuum-Assisted Heavy-Duty Trash Pumps Thomson Pumps

Description Of Vacuum-Assisted Heavy-Duty Trash Pumps

Thomson Pumps’ vacuum-assisted heavy-duty trash pumps are made to handle liquids with a high particles content, such sludge, sand, sewage, or murky water. Even in applications with challenging suction lift circumstances, these pumps, which are outfitted with vacuum-assist technology, offer exceptional suction efficiency.

This pump provides the best performance in the most demanding conditions and is appropriate for heavy industrial applications including waste management, mining, and construction.These versatile pumps are low maintenance, easy to operate and offer automatic dry priming and re-priming.

Thompson’s vacuum-assisted dry priming pump is designed with an auxiliary vacuum pump that delivers the fastest priming available and high-volume pumping of liquids and air, making it the perfect choice for high-lift applications, including liquids with abrasives or suspended solids.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

As the vacuum pump rotates, the vacuum produced draws air from the centrifugal pump and suction line to automatically prime the centrifugal pump.

Feature of Vacuum-Assisted Heavy-Duty Trash Pumps Thomson Pumps

• Vacuum-Assist Technology: Simplifies suctioning in suction lift conditions up to 9 meters, so it can be operated without the need for pre-filling.
• Heavy-Duty Design: Equipped with impact-resistant housing and wear-resistant materials, making it ideal for handling abrasive liquids and heavy waste.
• High Operation Efficiency: Open or semi-open impeller for handling large diameter solids up to 75 mm (3 inches) or more.
• Easy to Clean and Maintain: Quick access system to clean and maintain the pump interior without the need for specialized tools.
• Versatile Operation: Suitable for liquids with high solids content, including sand, sludge, sewage, or other abrasive liquids.
• Flexible Motor or Engine: Available drive options with diesel, gasoline, or electric motors according to operational needs.
• Durable Construction: High quality materials such as cast iron or stainless steel for maximum durability.
• Noise Reduction: Soundproof enclosure option available for quieter operation in noise-sensitive areas.

Application of Vacuum-Assisted Heavy-Duty Trash Pumps Thomson Pumps
