When you’re dealing with water filled with mud, rocks, leaves, or sludge, a standard water pump just won’t cut it. You need a centrifugal trash pump—the workhorse designed to power through the toughest, dirtiest liquid transfers.

At MultiTorque, we supply, service, and custom-build centrifugal trash pumps for sites that demand reliable flow and the ability to handle large solids without clogging.

What Is a Centrifugal Trash Pump?

A centrifugal trash pump is a heavy-duty version of a standard centrifugal pump, engineered specifically to pass solid debris without damage or downtime. These pumps use a rotating impeller to create flow and pressure, just like any centrifugal pump, but with a key difference: their large volute casing and wide passages allow solids and slurry to pass through.

In short, a centrifugal trash pump doesn’t choke under pressure. It chews through debris-filled water and keeps working in the most unforgiving conditions.

What Can It Handle?

Centrifugal trash pumps are designed to move water that’s contaminated with:

• Sand, silt, and gravel

• Leaves and twigs

• Sludge and slurry

• Wastewater and sewage

• Construction site runoff

• Stormwater and floodwater

Their ability to handle solids—often up to 3 inches in diameter—makes them indispensable for industries where clean water is the exception, not the rule.

Key Features of a Trash Pump

1. Large Impeller Vanes – Designed to reduce clogging by increasing clearance.

2. Durable Materials – Made from cast iron, stainless steel, or other abrasion-resistant alloys.

3. Quick-Access Cleanout – Allows you to clear blockages without dismantling the pump.

4. Self-Priming Options – Many centrifugal trash pumps can self-prime for easier starts in field conditions.

5. Trailer or Skid Mounting – Portable for use on job sites, pits, or agricultural fields.

At MultiTorque, we supply both portable trash pumps and fixed centrifugal pump systems, depending on the job.

Where Are Trash Pumps Used?

You’ll find centrifugal trash pumps on job sites across Australia, especially in:

• Construction and Civil Works – Dewatering excavations and trenches

• Mining and Quarrying – Handling runoff, slurry, and sediment

• Agriculture – Pumping irrigation tailings and dam water

• Municipal Wastewater – Moving greywater or sewer bypass

• Disaster Recovery – Flood clean-up and stormwater drainage

No matter the fluid—if it’s dirty, we can pump it.

Choosing the Right Centrifugal Trash Pump

When selecting a pump, consider the following:

• Solids handling capacity (in mm or inches)

• Maximum flow rate (L/min or m³/h)

• Head height and total dynamic head (TDH)

• Material compatibility (abrasive or corrosive fluids?)

• Mounting preference (portable, trailer, or fixed base)

MultiTorque will help you assess the site requirements and match you with the ideal solution.
