What is a trash pump?

A trash pump is a type of pump that is specifically designed to handle solids and debris in addition to liquid. It is often used for pumping water that contains solid materials such as mud, sand, sludge, and other waste materials.

Trash pumps are typically used in applications such as construction, mining, agriculture, and waste management where there is a need to move water with high levels of solids. They are capable of passing solids through the pump without clogging or causing damage to the pump.

These pumps are designed with large impeller vanes and open passages to allow for easy passage of solids. They are also equipped with a strong casing and heavy-duty components to withstand the harsh conditions and abrasive materials that they are required to pump.

Trash pumps can be powered by electric motors, diesel engines, or gasoline engines, depending on the specific application and requirements. They are available in various sizes and capacities to suit different pumping needs.
