Submersible Slurry Pumps

Industry Information


Submersible Slurry Pumps save money in Coal Preparation

High concentrations of solids up to 65% by weight needed to be pumped from lagoons and Emergency Drain Tanks back to the plant in order to complete the fines recovery. No other pump other than the Goodwin Submersible Slurry range could successfully handle this type of slurry.

As a result, lagoon levels were lowered to a depth never reached before, thus maximising fines recovery. Manpower and additional mechanical plant were completely eliminated in some instances, thus proving that the Submersible Slurry range can save money.

Ease of installation and maintenance makes the Submersible Slurry range a first choice in Coal Preparation

Ease of installation and accessibility for maintenance of pumps are some of the most important factors for the running of coal preparation plant. Standard vertical slurry pumps often require complicated structures for support and operation resulting in prolonged downtime when repair or maintenance is needed. The Goodwin Slurry Submersible pump eliminates all these problems.

The pump should ideally be suspended into the sump from a jib and positioned near to the bottom of the sump from where it can be removed, maintained, and replaced within minutes rather than hours! This coupled with a higher solids handling capability than any other pump makes it first choice for any coal preparation engineer.


Cleaner and drier sumps provided by Goodwin in the Power Industry

The "snore" capability of the Goodwin Submersible Slurry pump combined with its inherent slurry handling properties provide Electric Generators with a unique pump for its problems in coal and ash handling.

Not only will the Goodwin Submersible Slurry pumps run all day "on snore", and even dry in some case, but it can also handle heavy slurries up to 65% solids with relative ease.

Even with highly abrasive ash and coal slurries the Goodwin Submersible Slurry pumps will run problem-free for extended periods. This reliability together with slurry pump design features enables the level in sumps to be lowered to greater depths and to be kept dry continuously and effectively.

Never before has the Coal and Ash Engineer had a pump which can do so much.

Submersible Slurry pumps on continuous operation give trouble-free service on ash duties in Power Stations

Total reliability is required for ash, dust and coal sump pumps in the power generating industry.

The patented twin volute design and oil filled motor enables the units run on "snore" and even for extended periods of time completely dry, thus enabling the unit to completely empty the sump.

These units can run at elevated temperatures handling very abrasive fly ash.


Rugged reliability of Submersible Slurry chosen for pumping in the Steel Industry

Total reliability and the ability to handle abrasive solids are of prime importance for pumps within the steel industry.

With the patented twin volute design, oil filled motor and special design of inducer, the Submersible Slurry pump can handle solids in the form of scale in suspension up to very high concentrations by weight, with minimum wear.

Whether pumping abrasive scale, cooling water or general drainage water, the Goodwin Submersible Slurry will provide trouble-free running on "snore" and in some cases even when running dry.

submersible pumps save installation costs in steel works on continuous wet and dry operation

Ease of installation and accessibility for maintenance of pumps are two of the most important factors for maintaining good steel production. The Goodwin Submersible Slurry submersible slurry pump eliminates the problems associated with standard horizontal and vertical centrifugal pumps, thus proving once again that the Submersible Slurry range can save money on running and maintenance costs.


Magnetite / Mixing - The most arduous of duties

Magnetite handling has always been an unpleasant task. With our complete system now offered as a package you will improve your handling and storage operations. A front loader discharges magnetite onto the coarse grid for direct mixing by inherent re-circulation feature. Savings have been achieved whilst enhancing the environmental conditions.

We supply, pump, cable, control panel, mixing tank and discharge pipework plus the manpower to install. The ease of installation and maximum time necessary makes this a wise choice.

You have the advantage when you choose from the Submersible Slurry range

The combination of Magnetite Mixing and pumping will always remain the most demanding and rigorous application in a Dense Medium Coal Washing Plant.

The Goodwin Submersible Slurry pump has the front line experience, capability and design features to achieve these demands with ease.

High concentrations of magnetite slurry up to a maximum of 2.8 sg must always be readily available to ensure smooth operation of the process. The Goodwin Submersible Slurry has this proven ability.
