Efficient Fluid Transfer with Flooded Suction Solutions
Flooded suction pumps, available in both vertical and horizontal configurations, play a crucial role in the movement of slurry and liquid between tanks, hoppers, and other storage systems. These pumps are strategically installed externally and positioned toward the bottom or beneath the liquid level to leverage gravity, ensuring the pump remains consistently primed. Priming is essential for the efficient operation of these pumps; since the chamber and piping remain filled with water, it facilitates quick and easy starts and stops. The horizontal style is more prevalent due to its ease of maintenance, while the vertical design is utilized in environments with limited space.
DAE Pumps is a renowned leader in the pump and dredge industry, especially in demanding environments like the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It specializes in designing and engineering robust vertical and horizontal flooded suction pumps. These pumps feature non-clog impellers and are built to exceed the highest industry standards, ensuring reliability and durability. We offer these premium-quality pumps at competitive prices.

Versatile Applications of Flooded Suction Pumps
Flooded suction pumps are essential in a wide array of industrial applications including agriculture, oil and gas, sand and gravel pumping, mining, and more. Unlike submersible pumps that operate submerged in liquid, flooded suction pumps are positioned outside the liquid. These gravity-fed systems benefit from not requiring a vacuum pump for priming, simplifying their setup and maintenance.
Typically paired with an electric motor that employs a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), flooded suction pumps achieve optimal control over start-up speeds and operational parameters like flow and pressure through RPM monitoring. Although less common, diesel-driven motors are also available for settings where electric power may not be feasible. To ensure the continuous operation of these pumps, it is crucial that the liquid consistently feeds into the system; thicker materials might necessitate a self-priming pump or vacuum pump to aid in liquid movement. For such scenarios, DAE Pumps offers a range of self-priming pumps, providing reliable solutions for all pumping needs.
