EDDY PUMP - Characteristics ...

* High Concentration - pumps viscous material with less than 5 percent free liquid; an impossible task for a centrifugal pump.
* High Specific Gravity - pumps alluvial gold deposits and other ores of high specific gravity which are beyond the range of centrifugal pumps.
* Design Simplicity - years of trouble free operation with a bare minimum of maintenance.
* Design Efficiency - no critical tolerances. No change in efficiency until ruggedly built, long lasting rotor has appreciable wear.
* No Cavitation - moves concentrated material with rotor speeds of up to 2,000 rpm with no evidence of cavitation, surging or shock damage.
* Low Vibration - tornado effect synchronizes fluid rotation in frequency and amplitude which minimizes pump vibration.
* No NPSH Problems -fluid dynamics of tornado principle eliminate NPSH side effects.
* Non Clogging - pumps slurry containing rags, plastic bags, hair balls and other debris. Will pass hard spherical solids with a diameter only 1' less than the diameter of the discharge pipe. In many cases the rugged cruciform rotor will break up the debris material. A chopper or a macerator pump usually is not needed as the EDDY Pump is able to move the material through the discharge pipe.
* No Critical Setup - operationally self-balancing. Avoids need for expensive alignment procedures.
* Zero Leakage - Negative pressure in seal area allows for simple method to prevent external leakage.
* EPA Considerations - removes contaminated sediment without agitating and dispersing material into surrounding area.
