Self-priming Mud Pump
The MK FLOW Self-Priming Mud Pump is a rugged, high-suction pump designed to handle mud, slurry, wastewater, and other viscous or semi-solid fluids. Its self-priming capability allows it to automatically evacuate air from the suction line without external priming, making it ideal for applications where quick start-up and mobility are essential.
⚙️ Working Principle
This is a centrifugal pump with a specially designed volute casing and impeller that enables it to prime itself by recirculating a small amount of fluid within the casing. It can handle fluids with high solid content, making it suitable for construction sites, drainage, sewage bypass, and slurry transfer.
