Solids Handling Pumps

Mitchell Lewis & Staver offers a wide variety of pumps for handling liquids with included solids. Solids handling pumps can be of the submersible, self-priming, or horizontal end suction varieties. Should electrical power be unavailable or undesired, we also carry a line of solids handling air operated diaphragm pumps (AODD).

For municipal applications, the solids handling requirement is typically 3” which can be done by most 4” and larger submersible, self-priming, or horizontal end suction type pumps. Industrial applications usually have smaller solids size requirements, but a higher concentration of solids in the liquid. For these and other applications with a higher percentage of solids, an AODD or progressive cavity pump can be used. We also carry a submersible line of slurry pumps that can move liquids with up to 60% solids (slurries).

Our solids handling pump lines include: Summit, Myers, Toyo, Barnes, Deming, Polaris and Yamada.
