Warman® SHW Heavy-duty Submersible Sump and Slurry Pump

Our submersible Warman® SHW heavy-duty submersible sump and slurry pump is renowned for its reliability and long wear life in aggressive dewatering applications. Especially those that involve the processing of acidic or abrasive slurries.

Overview

Using state-of-the-art solids modelling and finite element stress analysis, the Warman® SHW submersible sump and slurry pump has been expertly engineered to provide efficient solids handling, especially when it comes to abrasive slurry and acidic applications.

This heavy-duty submersible water pump is renowned for its reliability and long wear life in aggressive dewatering applications including sump clean up, tailings, red mud recovery, clarifier sludge, seawater/ sand slurry, thickener drain and fly ash sump applications.

The Warman® SHW submersible sump pump comes standard with:

  • A moisture detector for the early detection of intrusion of fluid into the motor chamber or mechanical seal
  • T-bolt construction that allows for rapid disassembly

It can also be fully customised with premium pump features and high chrome wear parts including a robust Ultrachrome® A05 casting, two different agitator options, a suction saver and a temperature sensor.

When combined, these features:

  • Prevent the pump from overheating
  • Reduce the likelihood of blockages and clogging in sumps
  • Improve wear life when handling abrasive slurries
  • Provide high resistance in acidic applications
  • Allow quick and easy maintenance

Features and Benefits

Suits a Variety of Applications

This heavy-duty submersible water pump can be used for a variety of dewatering applications, particularly those involving water, slurry or sumps.

Superior Wear Life and Protection when Processing Acidic and Abrasive Feed Materials

The Ultrachrome® A05 high-chrome alloy casting of the Warman® SHW pump provides excellent wear life when handling abrasive slurries and high resistance in acidic applications. It also contains a double mechanical seal that helps to improve wear life by only exposing a minimal wear area to the slurry.

Reduced Clogging in Sumps

This submersible slurry pump comes with an optional suction saver feature that prevents blockages and clogging in sumps where tramp material or very large solids are present. This helps to improve overall pumping efficiency and makes it one of the best submersible sump pumps on the market.

Greater Protection from Overheating and Fluid Ingress

The Warman® SHW pump contains temperature sensors to prevent overheating and moisture detectors that identify when any fluid leaks into the motor chamber or mechanical seal.

Quick and Easy Maintenance

The T-bolt construction of this submersible slurry pump allows easy access for routine maintenance and rapid disassembly.

Improved Solids Concentration

The Warman® SHW pump improves concentration of solids pumped with two different agitator options (premium features) that ensure the liquid is already moving before entering the pump chamber.
