Trash Pump: The Perfect Equipment to Serve your Industrial Needs

Author: Chris Gayle

Trash pumps are constructed to lift up water contaminated with solids like weed, mud, dirt or any other foreign material that cannot be pumped with traditional pumping systems. Dewatering is a problem which involves the removal of water from a construction or mining site. With correct planning and equipment, waste water can be removed easily and without any hassle. The trash pump is the one such type which is used for such operation. You can find several kinds of trash pumps in the market varying in sizes, features and brands.

The semi-open inlet design of these pumps allows the flow of water containing a high load of usually soft solids. From regular dewatering outflow from a in ground stormwater storage pit or pumping from a waste water lagoon, trash pumps help in removing millions of gallons of water, trash and waste water in a day.
