The 6-Inch DSP/HD 6000 Self-Priming Slurry Pump is a rugged, high-capacity workhorse engineered for the heavy-duty pumping of abrasive, high-solids slurries. Driven by a Tier III John Deere 118–125 HP diesel engine, it delivers 450–2,000 GPM at up to 200 ft head. Featuring an 8″ suction, 6″ discharge, and the ability to pass solids up to 5″, this trailer‑mounted unit eliminates clogs and downtime. Built with heavy-duty components—high-chrome, stainless rotor and volute, chromemoly shaft, dual mechanical seals—it’s designed for mining, dredging, wastewater, slurry, and abrasive industrial fluids
Heavy-Duty Pumping Power: Powered by a 118/125 HP John Deere Tier III turbo diesel engine designed for continuous-duty operation. High Flow Capacity: Flow rates ranging from 450 to 2000 GPM to meet diverse job site needs. Exceptional Solids Handling: Easily passes up to 5-inch solids, reducing the risk of clogging or system downtime. Vacuum-Assisted Self-Priming: Dry-start capable with vacuum-assisted priming chamber that automatically removes air from the suction line. Robust Construction: High chrome and stainless steel components resist wear from abrasive slurries and harsh environments. Built for Mobility: Mounted on a 6K DOT-compliant trailer with heavy-duty tires, lighting package, and lifting jacks for on-site deployment. Fuel Efficient Operation: Optimized fuel burn of 6–7 gallons per hour, with a 96-gallon integrated tank for extended runtime. Integrated Monitoring: Includes a fuel electronic control panel, flow gauge, work light, and lifting bail. Customizable Options: Available with optional metallurgy, electric power units, and trailer or skid mount configurations. Made in the USA: Designed, engineered, and manufactured by EDDY Pump in California.
The EDDY 6-Inch DSP/HD 6000 uses a patented open rotor design that creates a strong, tornado-like eddy current inside the pump volute. This non-clogging technology enables the pump to move high-viscosity fluids and slurries with extreme efficiency—even those containing rocks, debris, and solids up to 5 inches in diameter. The key differentiator of this system lies in its patented vacuum-assisted self-priming chamber. On startup, the chamber uses vacuum pressure to evacuate air from the suction hose, drawing fluid into the pump body without manual priming or flooding. Once primed, the pump operates continuously, pushing fluid through the discharge line even in fluctuating conditions. This design eliminates the need for foot valves or complex priming systems, significantly reducing operator workload and risk of failure.
The 6-Inch DSP/HD 6000 Self-Priming Pump is built to solve tough pumping problems without the hassle. Whether you’re dealing with thick sludge, muddy water, or debris-filled liquid, this pump is designed to keep working without clogging or breaking down.
No need to pour water into the pump before use. Just start the engine, and it handles the rest.
Can handle rocks, sand, and sludge, up to 5 inches in size, without getting jammed.
With a large fuel tank, it can run for 12 to 16 hours straight without needing a refill.
Mounted on a rugged trailer, it’s ready to hitch to a truck and move to any job site.
Built strong to perform in construction, mining, dredging, and stormwater projects.

A busy marine terminal faced a recurring bottleneck during barge offloading operations. The facility received dredged slurry (40–60% solids) by barge, which then had to be pumped to a temporary containment zone located over 300 feet away. Traditional pumps struggled with priming issues and inconsistent performance during tidal fluctuations. The lack of access to constant vacuum assistance also limited equipment choices.
To overcome these challenges, the terminal deployed the EDDY Pump 6-Inch Self-Priming Pump (125 HP), configured for skid mounting. Key advantages included: Self-priming and re-priming capabilities without external vacuum support Ability to handle high solids content (up to 3-inch solids) without clogging Efficient pumping through long discharge distances using standard 6″ slurry hose Low-maintenance, non-clogging rotor design ideal for barge-mounted or dockside setups The unit was placed dockside and operated continuously during the loading windows, with minimal setup time required.
The installation delivered immediate and measurable benefits: Transferred slurry at rates exceeding 100 cubic yards per hour Maintained reliable performance across changing tidal conditions Reduced barge unloading time by 30%, boosting daily throughput Operated with zero priming failures, eliminating delays caused by air-lock or pump resets
How is the EDDY 6-inch self-priming pump different from a centrifugal pump? Unlike standard centrifugal pumps, EDDY Pumps use an open rotor and eddy current system to move high-solids slurries without clogging. Does this pump require manual priming? No. The integrated vacuum chamber allows the unit to self-prime automatically. Can this self-priming pump handle sand, gravel, and rocks? Yes. It can move solids up to 5 inches in diameter, including rocks and debris. Is this pump suitable for remote or power-scarce locations? Yes. It runs on diesel and is fully trailer-mounted for mobile field operations. What are common wear parts? Rotor, volute, mechanical seal, and suction hose. These are available in wear-resistant metals. Can I use this pump in saltwater or corrosive fluids? Yes. Optional stainless steel and duplex construction is available for corrosive environments. How long can the self-priming pump operate without refueling? The 96-gallon fuel tank enables extended operation, typically lasting 12–16 hours, depending on the load. Is this pump easy to transport? Yes. It comes mounted on a DOT-compliant trailer with lights, jacks, and a towing hitch. Can I get a custom quote? Absolutely. Contact EDDY Pump for an application-specific quote and curve. Is there technical support available? Yes. EDDY Pump provides U.S.-based engineering and service support.
