Submersible Slurry Pump 80TBS44 with Agitator
When you're standing next to a settling pond, a tailings dam, or a flooded excavation pit full of sand and mud, a normal drainage pump won't get you very far. The moment solids settle around the suction inlet, you're looking at clogging, cavitation, and a motor that overheats within hours. That's exactly the problem the Hydroman 80TBS44 was built to solve. It's a light duty submersible slurry pump with an integrated agitator, designed so you can drop it straight into thick, sediment-laden slurry and keep pumping without babysitting it every twenty minutes.
If you've been searching for a submersible slurry pump with agitator that's compact enough for smaller job sites but still tough enough for abrasive sand and mud, the 80TBS44 is worth a closer look. Below, you'll find exactly what it does, how it's built, and where it fits into your operation.
What the 80TBS44 Is, and Why the Agitator Matters
The Hydroman 80TBS44 belongs to our TBS series of electric submersible slurry pumps, built specifically for jobs where water alone isn't the problem — settled sand, silt, and dense sediment are. Underneath the pump, a high-chrome agitator spins just below the suction inlet. As it turns, it physically breaks up compacted solids sitting on the pit floor and stirs them into the surrounding liquid, so the pump is always drawing in a workable slurry rather than fighting a wall of packed sediment. You'll notice the difference most in the first few minutes of operation.
A standard submersible pump dropped into settled slurry will draw down the loose water on top, then choke as the solids underneath refuse to move. The 80TBS44 keeps working because the agitator is doing the job a person would otherwise have to do with a shovel or a jet hose — constantly re-suspending material so the impeller has something pumpable to work with. And the 80TBS44 submersible pump is completely equivalent to 80KBS44 pump, Hydroman TBS submersible slurry pump is 100% replacement of KBS series.
Pumping sand and grit is fundamentally a wear problem, not just a hydraulic one. Every part of the 80TBS44 that touches slurry — the impeller, the suction plate, the agitator itself, and the pump casing — is cast from high-chrome alloy (typically Cr26–Cr28), which is the industry standard for abrasive slurry pump applications because of its hardness and resistance to erosive wear. That means the wet end is built to survive continuous contact with sand, tailings, and mineral particles rather than degrading after a few hundred hours the way mild-steel components do.
Wear parts are also replaceable rather than fixed, so when the impeller or suction plate does eventually wear down, you're swapping a component instead of replacing the whole pump. That single design choice tends to be the biggest factor in total cost of ownership over a pump's working life.
Because the 80TBS44 is a fully electric submersible slurry pump, there's no external priming system, no long suction hose to manage, and no separate pump house to build. You lower the unit directly into the slurry pit, connect the power cable, and it starts moving material. For remote sites, temporary dewatering jobs, or locations where you can't justify a fixed pump station, that difference in setup time is significant — what would take hours with a surface-mounted trash pump usually takes minutes here.
The motor itself runs in an IP68-rated, oil-filled housing, sealed against slurry ingress even at full submersion depth, and is protected with a thermal sensor so it shuts down before heat damage occurs rather than after.

Technical Specifications
Below are tde working parameters for tde 80TBS44. As witd any slurry duty point, actual head and capacity will shift depending on solids concentration and specific gravity of tde material being pumped — tdese figures reflect standard clear-water test conditions per tde pump's duty curve.
| Model | Outlet | Motor power | Starting metdod | Rated current (380V) | Rated capacity | Rated head | Max capacity | Max head | Impeller passage | |||
| (50/60Hz) | mm | kW | HP | A | m³/h | m³/min | m | m³/h | m³/min | m | mm | |
| 80TBS44 | 80 | 5 | 5.5 | D.O.L. | 10.2 | 60 | 1 | 10 | 99 | 1.65 | 14.8 | 30 |
If your project calls for a different duty point — deeper head, higher flow, or a wider solid passage — Hydroman also builds tde 80TBS44 across a broader power range, and our team can walk you tdrough which configuration matches your slurry's density and particle size.
How the Pump Actually Works Once It's in the Pit
The sequence is simple, and it's worth understanding because it explains why this design outperforms a standard drainage pump in the same conditions. You lower the fully sealed unit into the slurry pit until it's submerged. As it starts up, the agitator mounted below the intake begins rotating and loosening any solids that have settled on the bottom. Those solids mix with the surrounding water to form a consistent, pumpable slurry rather than sitting as dead weight around the inlet. From there, the high-chrome impeller draws that slurry in and pushes it out through the discharge line, and the cycle continues as long as the pump keeps running — the agitator constantly refreshing the material in front of the intake so the pump never runs dry on sediment.
Where the 80TBS44 Gets Used
You'll find this pump doing similar work across a few different industries, even though the jobs themselves look different on the surface.
• In mining, it's used for pumping tailings, transferring mineral slurry between processing stages, and clearing mine wastewater that's carrying a heavy sediment load.
• On construction sites, it handles dewatering of excavation pits, removal of foundation slurry, and drainage during tunnel construction where groundwater mixes constantly with excavated soil.
• For dredging and sediment management, contractors use it for pond cleaning, river sediment removal, and lagoon maintenance where material has settled over time and needs to be moved without hauling it out by hand.
• And across general industrial sites, it's a reliable option for sludge transfer, wastewater treatment feeds, and process slurry pumping in production lines.

Hydroman has spent years manufacturing electric submersible slurry pumps for mining, construction, dredging, and industrial clients who need equipment that survives real working conditions, not just a spec sheet. That experience shows up in a few practical ways. We offer custom pump design when a standard duty point doesn't match your slurry's specific gravity or particle size, a choice of wet-end materials depending on how abrasive or corrosive your application is, OEM production for equipment resellers and integrators, and technical support that doesn't disappear after the sale. If you're comparing submersible slurry pump manufacturers, the question worth asking isn't just who has the lowest price — it's who will actually help you size the pump correctly the first time.
We don't publish a flat number here because, honestly, it wouldn't be accurate for your situation. Slurry pump pricing moves with several variables: the motor power and duty point you need, the wet-end material specified (standard high-chrome versus a harder alloy for extremely abrasive duty), the physical pump size and outlet diameter, cable length for your submersion depth, any additional accessories like guide rails, control panels, or float switches, and the specific characteristics of what you're pumping. A pump sized for occasional sand in wastewater costs differently than one built for continuous tailings duty at high solids concentration.
If you want an accurate number, the fastest path is to send us your application details — flow rate needed, head required, and a description of the material being pumped — and Hydroman will put together a quotation built around your actual job, not a generic one.
What is a submersible slurry pump?
It's an electric pump with a sealed, submersible motor designed to be lowered directly into slurry, sludge, or sediment-laden water, rather than sitting on the surface and drawing material up through a suction hose.
What's the advantage of a slurry pump with agitator?
The agitator keeps settled solids stirred into the surrounding liquid, so the pump is continuously fed a pumpable mixture instead of clogging on compacted material at the bottom of the pit. It's the difference between a pump that runs for a full shift and one that needs constant clearing.
Can the 80TBS44 handle sand and sludge?
Yes. It's built for exactly that — abrasive sand, mud, sediment, and dense sludge up to a 25–30 mm solid passage, thanks to the high-chrome wet end and integrated agitator.
What industries use submersible slurry pumps?
Mining, construction and excavation, dredging and sediment removal, and general industrial wastewater or sludge handling are the most common.
Is Hydroman a submersible slurry pump manufacturer?
Yes, Hydroman designs and manufactures electric submersible slurry pumps, including custom and OEM configurations, for mining, construction, and industrial applications worldwide.
How do I choose the right slurry pump size?
Start with three numbers: the flow rate you need, the head (vertical lift plus friction losses) required, and the particle size and density of what you're pumping. Those three factors determine motor power, outlet size, and wet-end material — our team can help you work through the sizing if you're not sure.
What affects submersible slurry pump price?
Motor power, wet-end material, pump size, cable length, accessories, and the specific demands of your application all factor into final pricing — see the section above for details.
Are the 80TBS44's spare parts interchangeable with the 80KBS44?
Yes. The 80TBS44 and 80KBS44 share the same 80 mm wet-end platform, so components like the high-chrome impeller, agitator, suction plate, and wear plate are fully interchangeable between the two models. That's a real advantage if you're already running a mixed fleet — you can standardize on one set of spare parts and one inventory, rather than stocking separate wear kits for each pump.
