80THY Agitator Pump Description
The Hydroman® 80THY15 Hydraulic Agitator Pump is a rugged vertical submersible pump engineered for abrasive slurry removal in the most demanding environments. As a 80THY Submersible Hydraulic Slurry Pump, it transforms any standard excavator into a powerful dredging machine. The Excavator Hydraulic Pump for Slurry Removal operates completely underwater, eliminating the need for priming. This Submersible Agitator Pump for Abrasive Slurry is built with high-chrome wear components to withstand severe abrasion. The Vertical Hydraulic Dredge Pump for Mining delivers reliable solids-handling capability, making it a true workhorse for heavy-duty operations.
What makes the Hydroman® 80THY15 different from conventional electric slurry pumps?
Unlike electric pumps that rely on vulnerable motors and power cables underwater, the Hydroman® 80THY15 is powered by hydraulic drive—either from an excavator‘s existing hydraulic system or a dedicated hydraulic power pack. This eliminates electrical hazards, allows variable speed control, and enables safe operation in deep water and remote locations where electricity is unavailable or unsafe.
Can this pump handle highly compacted, settled solids without clogging?
Yes. The integrated agitator impeller at the bottom churns up settled sand, sludge, and tailings, fluidizing them into a pumpable slurry before they enter the pump. This aggressive agitation prevents clogging and ensures a consistent inflow of high-concentration material.
What is the maximum solids concentration this pump can handle?
The Hydroman® 80THY15 handles slurries with up to 70% solids by weight, which is significantly higher than conventional centrifugal pumps. That means more material and less water moved per gallon of slurry, dramatically lowering your cost per cubic meter.
Design Features of the Hydroman® 80THY15 Hydraulic Agitator Pump
The 80THY Submersible Hydraulic Slurry Pump incorporates several engineering innovations that set it apart:
High-Chrome Alloy Wet Components: All wear parts—including impeller, agitator, casing, and wear plates—are cast from high-chrome white iron with hardness up to HRC 62-65, providing exceptional abrasion resistance for long service life in sand, gravel, and mining tailings.
Double Mechanical Seals: Two independent mechanical seals protect the hydraulic motor from water and slurry ingress, ensuring reliable operation even in deep submergence and severe service conditions.
Low RPM, High Torque Hydraulic Drive: The pump operates at low rotational speeds while delivering high torque. This reduces internal wear rates on components and extends service intervals compared to high-speed electric pumps.
Integrated Agitation Impeller: A bottom-mounted agitator impeller breaks up settled solids and transforms them into turbulent flow, enabling the pump to achieve high-concentration conveying without auxiliary devices.
3-Inch Discharge Port: The 3 Inch 80THY15 Hydraulic Pump features an 80mm (DN80) discharge outlet, compatible with standard hoses and pipelines for efficient material transport.
Compact Vertical Design: The pump is suspended vertically from an excavator boom, allowing precise positioning in confined spaces and deep water, with no requirement for surface-level pump houses or complex rigging.

Sand and Gravel Mining – Dredge and Transport Abrasive Materials
Sand and gravel mining demands equipment that can handle continuous abrasion without frequent breakdowns. The Hydroman® 80THY15 Hydraulic Agitator Pump excels in extracting and transporting sand, gravel, and aggregate from underwater deposits.
In sand and gravel operations, the challenge is moving high-density material with minimal water content. Conventional pumps require excessive dilution, wasting energy and increasing disposal volume. The Vertical Hydraulic Dredge Pump for Mining solves this by using its agitator to fluidize settled sand directly at the intake, then pumping it as a high-concentration slurry—up to 70% solids by weight.
Mounted on an excavator, this Excavator Hydraulic Pump for Slurry Removal can be maneuvered precisely across a mining pit, reaching deep underwater deposits that are inaccessible to land-based equipment. The excavator operator simply positions the pump over the target area and lowers it into the material. The hydraulic system of the excavator powers the pump directly—no separate generators, no power cables, no electrical hazards.
The high-chrome wear parts withstand the continuous abrasion of sand and gravel. The low-RPM hydraulic drive reduces internal wear, meaning fewer part replacements and less downtime. For mining operations processing thousands of cubic meters per month, this translates directly into lower operating costs and higher profitability.
Typical sand and gravel applications include river sand extraction, beach reclamation, aggregate plant feed, and underwater gravel pit dewatering.
Mining Tailings Management – Relocate Sludge and Slurry Efficiently
Mining tailings ponds and settling tanks require regular cleaning to maintain capacity and meet environmental regulations. The Hydroman® 80THY15 Hydraulic Agitator Pump provides a mobile, high-capacity solution for tailings relocation and sludge removal.
Tailings management presents a unique set of challenges. Processed tailings are often compacted, settled, and highly abrasive. They may contain residual chemicals that can corrode equipment. And tailings ponds are frequently located in remote areas where electrical power is either unavailable or prohibitively expensive to install.
The 80THY Submersible Hydraulic Slurry Pump addresses all of these issues. Hydraulic drive means no electrical infrastructure at the pond site—just the excavator‘s own hydraulic system or a standalone diesel-powered hydraulic power pack. The agitator technology breaks up compacted tailings and fluidizes them into a pumpable slurry. The high-chrome alloy construction resists both abrasion from mineral particles and corrosion from process chemicals.
When mounted on an excavator, the Vertical Hydraulic Dredge Pump for Mining can be positioned directly over the thickest settled tailings. The operator can move the pump along the pond bottom, systematically cleaning the entire basin without needing to drain the pond or deploy heavy dredging equipment. The 3-inch discharge port allows flexible pipeline routing to tailings disposal areas or reprocessing facilities.
Mining applications include gold tailings reclamation, coal slurry transfer, ash pit cleaning at power plants, settling pond desilting, and underground slimes collection. The pump’s ability to handle large particle sizes (up to 5 inches or 120mm in some THY configurations) means it can manage coarse mine waste without clogging.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Hydroman® 80THY15 Hydraulic Agitator Pump
Q: Can the Hydroman® 80THY15 be used with any excavator, or does it require a specific hydraulic flow rating?
A: The Excavator Hydraulic Pump for Slurry Removal is compatible with most medium-to-large hydraulic excavators. The pump requires a hydraulic oil flow rate typically between 60-120 L/min and operating pressure of 160-250 bar. Before purchase, verify your excavator‘s hydraulic specifications against the pump’s requirements to ensure optimal performance.
Q: What maintenance does the Submersible Agitator Pump for Abrasive Slurry require?
A: Routine maintenance includes inspecting and replacing the high-chrome wear components (impeller, agitator, wear plates, casing liners) as they wear. The double mechanical seals should be checked periodically for leakage. Because the pump operates at low RPM, wear rates are reduced compared to high-speed pumps, but regular inspection is still recommended for maximum service life.
Q: How deep can the Vertical Hydraulic Dredge Pump for Mining operate underwater?
A: The Hydraulic Slurry Pump for Underwater Operation can be submerged to depths of up to 80 meters (approximately 260 feet) or more, depending on hose length and hydraulic oil viscosity. Unlike electric submersible pumps that face insulation and cable length limitations, hydraulic pumps have no such restrictions, making them ideal for deep-water dredging applications.
