how a dredge pump works

Dredge Booster Pumps - The Australian Made Campaign

Dredge Booster Pumps

Neumann Equipment manufactures a range of self-contained Booster Pump units for dredging operations. Standard sizes range from 150 up to 600mm. Our experienced team can make larger sizes to order.

Our dredging booster pump units are typically used for dredging. They are inserted between the dredge and the discharge point to increase the system’s overall capability to pump the product to greater heights and/or distances.

It is Critical that the Dredge Booster Pump:

Size matches that of the dredger pump.

It can accommodate the same size particle as the dredger pump.

Has at least the same size engine as that of the dredger pump.

Can accommodate the design pressure (head) required to pump the product to the discharge or next booster.

It can accommodate the same specific gravity of material as the dredger pump.
