A pump curve shows how the pump delivers flow at different head levels. For the 8 Inch Self Priming Slurry Pump 550 HP, selecting the correct curve ensures strong suction lift, efficient slurry movement, and reliable performance in heavy duty mining, dredging, and industrial pumping conditions.
The 8-inch DSP-8000 Self-Priming Pump is engineered to perform in the world’s most demanding slurry and solids-handling environments. Its non-clog design, high-chrome construction, and self-priming operation make it ideal for projects requiring continuous, high-volume pumping under abrasive or variable conditions.
Built for heavy-duty dredging operations such as harbor maintenance, port deepening, river restoration, and beach nourishment. The DSP-8000 handles sand, silt, and sediment efficiently, delivering consistent production even in high-solids environments.
Designed to move dense, abrasive materials in mining applications—tailings, overburden, slurries, and concentrates—while minimizing wear and downtime. Its high-chrome components extend service life, even when pumping highly erosive materials.
Used for drilling mud handling, sump clean-outs, and pipeline dewatering. The self-priming design allows for rapid deployment in field conditions where power and reliability are critical.
Ideal for removing sludge, grit, and solids buildup in wastewater treatment plants, food-processing facilities, and chemical plants. Ensures regulatory compliance while reducing manual cleaning and downtime.
Excels in moving slurry, bentonite, and spoil materials from confined job sites. The compact, trailer-mounted configuration allows quick mobilization between projects and remote work zones.
Used by public works and contractors for stormwater control, sewer bypass pumping, and sediment management. Provides dependable, low-maintenance operation for emergency and planned pumping operations alike.
A leading gold mining facility in Nevada was experiencing significant downtime while transferring thick tailings slurry from its processing plant to containment ponds. The abrasive, high-density mixture of sand, silt, and chemical residue was causing frequent clogging and impeller wear in conventional centrifugal pumps. Maintenance crews were forced to shut down operations multiple times a week, resulting in production delays, increased operational costs, and shortened pump lifespans.
EDDY Pump engineers recommended deploying the 8-inch DSP-8000 Self-Priming Pump, equipped with a 550 HP Tier-4 diesel engine. The system was mounted on a skid platform to facilitate continuous operation in the mine’s remote environment. Thanks to its patented recessed rotor design, the pump efficiently moved tailings slurry with up to 65% solids by volume through more than 1,500 feet of discharge pipeline without clogging. The self-priming feature eliminated the need for external priming equipment, simplifying startup and reducing operational complexity.
After commissioning, the DSP-8000 maintained a consistent flow rate exceeding 3,000 GPM for 16-hour production shifts with no mechanical downtime. The mine recorded a 40% increase in operational uptime and a 30% reduction in maintenance costs, attributed to the pump’s non-clogging design and wear-resistant materials. Over a six-month operating period, the system demonstrated superior reliability and performance, establishing the EDDY Pump as a key asset in the mine’s long-term dewatering and tailings management plan.

This pump is built for heavy-duty slurry and solids-handling applications in industries such as mining, dredging, wastewater treatment, and construction. It efficiently transfers high-viscosity and abrasive materials, such as tailings, sediment, and sludge, that typically cause clogging or wear in conventional pumps. Its performance and reliability make it ideal for long-run, high-demand operations where uptime and low maintenance are critical.
The self-priming feature allows the pump to start and restart automatically without manual priming or external vacuum systems. This saves time during setup and daily operations, especially in remote or variable site conditions. It ensures continuous pumping even when suction conditions fluctuate, improving project efficiency and reducing operator intervention.
The DSP-8000 can handle solids up to 8 inches in diameter and slurries with up to 70% solids by volume. Its recessed rotor design and wide internal passages prevent clogging and maintain strong suction even with large, dense, or fibrous materials. This makes it highly effective in environments with heavy sediment, gravel, or industrial waste.
This model delivers between 1,400 and 3,600 gallons per minute, reaching heads of up to 230 feet. Performance varies depending on factors such as pipeline length, slurry density, and elevation. EDDY Pump’s engineering team assists clients in matching the correct curve and configuration to achieve peak efficiency for specific applications.
Unlike centrifugal pumps that rely on close impeller tolerances, the DSP-8000 uses a recessed rotor that moves solids through a swirling eddy current. This eliminates clogging, reduces component wear, and allows handling of higher solid concentrations. The result is lower maintenance frequency, reduced downtime, and longer overall service life, making it more cost-effective for demanding operations.
The pump is powered by a 550 HP Tier-4 diesel engine that meets U.S. EPA emission standards, with Tier-III versions available for international markets. The electronically controlled fuel system optimizes power and fuel efficiency while maintaining consistent torque under heavy loads, ensuring dependable operation in both fixed and mobile installations.
The DSP-8000 is available in both skid-mounted and trailer-mounted configurations. The skid setup is suited for stationary use at processing facilities or lagoons, while the trailer option provides mobility for dredging and multi-site operations. Both designs are heavy-duty, field-ready, and compatible with EDDY Pump’s auxiliary components for easy integration.
Critical wear parts are built from high-chrome alloy (EddyChrome) for superior abrasion resistance. The shaft is made of chromoly or stainless steel, and the mechanical seal uses dual tungsten carbide faces with a built-in flush system. These materials are selected to withstand harsh, abrasive environments and minimize component replacement frequency.
Yes, the DSP-8000 can be customized to meet individual site requirements. Options include alternate metallurgy for corrosive fluids, electric motor configurations, integrated monitoring sensors, and compatible booster pumps for longer discharge distances. Accessories like discharge floats, heavy-duty hoses, and real-time data systems can also be added for complete turnkey packages.
EDDY Pump offers full technical support, including startup guidance, spare parts, and maintenance training. The DSP-8000’s simplified, non-clog design reduces maintenance downtime, and all major components are field-serviceable. Clients benefit from direct access to U.S.-based engineering, responsive service, and readily available parts for long-term operational reliability.
