Sludgemax (TsludX) is a series of progressive cavity screw pumps engineered for reliable
pumping of sludge, thick slurries, and dewatered effluent. Designed for continuous,
low-pulsation flow, these pumps provide superior handling of viscous, shear-sensitive, and
abrasive fluids encountered in sewage treatment plants, effluent plants, and industrial sludge
processing.
The rotor-stator design ensures uniform, gentle conveying without clogging, making it ideal for
sludge transfer and dewatering operations.
Key Design Features
• Progressive cavity / screw pump principle for continuous, low-pulsation flow
• Capable of handling viscous, abrasive, and shear-sensitive fluids
• High solids content handling without clogging
• Modular design with replaceable rotor and stator
• Low operating speed → reduced wear, longer service life
• Self-priming capability with strong suction lift
• Energy-efficient operation for continuous duty
• Option for hopper feed design with bridge breaker for dewatered sludge
Seal and Shaft Technology
• Mechanical seals: single, double, cartridge options
• Gland packing arrangements for abrasive sludges
• Shaft protection sleeves to minimize wear
• Seal flushing and barrier fluid systems for harsh sludge conditions
Bearings and Certifications
• Heavy-duty bearing housing for continuous sludge duty
• Grease or oil bath lubrication depending on service
• ATEX certified for explosive sludge environments
• Complies with API 676 standards (on request)
Suitable Applications
• Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) – raw sludge transfer, digested sludge, dewatered sludge• Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP) – industrial sludge, oily sludge, scum handling
• Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP) – industrial sludge, oily sludge, scum handling
• Dewatering Systems – sludge feed to filter press, centrifuge, belt press
• Dewatering Systems – sludge feed to filter press, centrifuge, belt press
