Mobile Self-Priming Pump
Our mobile self-priming pumps do not require the pump to be primed before use. This is advantageous because the pump can be used somewhat like a giant vacuum, sucking up all of the liquid and solids in its path. Most pumps are submersible, as opposed to a self-priming unit in which the pump and power unit are not submerged.
These units come mounted on a trailer for increased mobility out in the field. Self-priming pumps can serve many purposes from slurry/sludge transfer, tank recirculation, replacing vacuum trucks, dewatering, and more.
Replace Costly Vacuum Trucks
Many industrial operations such as drilling, paper/pulp, manufacturing, and mining have waste that must be processed and removed on a regular basis. The solution for a lot of these companies is to continually hire vacuum truck services in order to clean and remove waste material from tanks, sumps, and pits. This costly process can now be done in-house for a fraction of the price with our non-clog Self-Priming System. For some companies, the cost associated with frequent vacuum truck use can climb to levels that become unsustainable. In these instances, companies can massively reduce costs by rethinking their operation and replacing vacuum truck services with that of a trailer-mounted self-priming pump unit. This setup would essentially perform the same job, for a fraction of the annual cost of repeat vacuum truck services.
For companies that process a lot of waste byproducts, vacuum trucks can be a convenient method to dispose of it all. However, over time, the cost for vacuum truck services can become burdensome, especially for frequent cleanings. Additionally, you are relying on a third party to ensure the job is completed, which can turn problematic if you are in a time crunch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are diesel-driven self-priming slurry pumps?
Diesel-driven self-priming slurry pumps are robust, versatile pumping systems powered by diesel engines. They are specifically designed to handle abrasive and viscous slurries, making them ideal for various industrial, construction, and mining applications where conventional pumps may struggle.
How do diesel-driven self-priming slurry pumps work?
These pumps feature a self-priming mechanism that allows them to evacuate air from the suction line and prime themselves without external assistance. The diesel engine provides the necessary power to drive the pump, which draws in slurry from the source and pumps it to the desired location, even when submerged or when the suction lift is high.
What types of materials can diesel-driven self-priming slurry pumps handle?
Diesel-driven self-priming slurry pumps excel at handling a wide range of materials, including:
- Abrasive slurries containing sand, gravel, or silt.
- Viscous fluids such as mud, sludge, or bentonite.
- Industrial wastewater with high solids content.
- Mine tailings and dredged sediments.
What are the advantages of using diesel-driven self-priming slurry pumps?
Some key advantages of these pumps include:
- Versatility: Suitable for various applications, including dewatering, construction, mining, and emergency response.
- Self-priming capability eliminates the need for external priming assistance, making them ideal for remote or temporary pumping operations.
- Durability: Built to withstand the harsh conditions often encountered in industrial and mining environments.
- Mobility: Mounted on trailers or skids for easy transport to different job sites.
What size diesel-driven self-priming slurry pump do I need for my project?
The pump size depends on factors such as the desired flow rate, head pressure, and the characteristics of the slurry or fluid being pumped. Our team can help you select the appropriate pump size based on your project requirements.
How do I select the right diesel-driven self-priming slurry pump for my project?
Choosing the right pump involves considering factors such as the type and concentration of solids in the slurry, the required flow rate and head pressure, and any site-specific constraints. Our experienced team can assist you in selecting the most suitable pump for your application.
Is training provided for operating diesel-driven self-priming slurry pumps?
Yes, we offer comprehensive training for operators on safely and efficiently operating diesel-driven self-priming slurry pumps. Our training programs cover equipment operation, maintenance procedures, and best practices for pump deployment and maintenance.
How can I rent a diesel-driven self-priming slurry pump?
