Bottom Pumps

Bottom pumps are used to remove heavy residues or slurries that settle at the bottom of storage tanks, separators, or process vessels. These materials often include sediment, sand, or sludge that must be cleared to maintain system efficiency and prevent buildup.

Challenges:
The main challenge lies in the high density and abrasiveness of settled materials. Conventional pumps often fail to pick up settled solids, leading to accumulation and manual cleaning. Limited access inside tanks also makes maintenance and replacement difficult.

Solution:
Hevvy/Toyo’s submersible bottom pumps with integrated agitators can lift and transport settled solids directly from the tank floor. Their rugged construction and wear-resistant impellers handle heavy slurries effortlessly. The compact, portable design allows quick deployment for cleaning or continuous service — reducing downtime and extending tank life.
