Dewatering pumps are basically centrifugal pumps used whenever you want to remove water from a water-logged or flooded area. You can use them at construction sites, godowns, basements, mines, tunnels and everywhere else where the accumulation of water is a problem. What type of dewatering pump you use depends on the medium you are dealing with. We are the leading Industrial Water Pump Suppliers in Mumbai and in this blog, we tell you about the different types of dewatering pumps available in the market.
Types of Dewatering Pumps
- Self-priming pumps: These pumps have an in-built priming mechanism and do not require any manual intervention for it. These have a flood-control feature for rapid dewatering. They are highly efficient as compared to other pumps, safe to operate and the best choice available with water pump dealers during monsoons.
A self-priming pump has two phases: the priming phase and the pumping phase. In the priming phase, the impeller creates a vacuum at the eye which draws in the air. Gradually the liquid replaces the air in the piping and the pump. Finally, the pumping phase begins and the liquid is discharged.
- Submersible dewatering pumps: As the name suggests, these pumps are submerged in water to drain it. These are used in basements, mines, drains, underground parking lots and garages. One of the best submersible pumps available with any Kirloskar water pump dealer is the Eterna CW/BW. These are best suited for removing water logging during the Mumbai monsoons.
A submersible pump works by pushing water to the surface by converting rotary energy to kinetic energy. The water is pulled into the pump where the rotating impeller pushes it to the diffuser from where it goes to the surface.
Given their ability to deal with flooding and waterlogging, these are the best-suited industrial water pumps in Mumbai given the city’s monsoon conditions. Get in touch with Kirloskar Submersible Pump Dealer for more.
- Autoprime pumps: These pumps are best suited for larger volumes. It operates across a range of viscosities and liquid types. Thus it can process sludge and slurry effectively. It is safe, sturdy, portable and easy to use.
These have a vacuum-assisted auto-priming feature. You don’t require water to prime the pump and the pump is designed to avoid carryover.
- Cutter pumps: These are best suited for cutting up large garbage matter such as plastic bottles, aluminum cans, ropes and fabrics. These pumps are mostly used in household settings where they chop and grind the refuse into smaller particles which helps avoid the clogging of drainage.
These pumps have a carbide blade integrated into the impeller. It has a saw-shaped edge which is very effective in shredding large particles and fibrous material. This helps avoid clogging in the pipes ahead.
