Reliable, Efficient Hydraulic Power for Demanding Sludge Transfer Environments

Sludge pumping demands hydraulic systems that can handle abrasive fluids, high-pressure variability, and continuous operation. Pres Tech supports these rigorous applications with A10VO axial piston variable displacement pumps — engineered for precision flow control, extended service life, and consistent performance in harsh sludge-handling conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Robust Pressure Ratings

    • Series 31: Nominal 4000 psi (280 bar), max 5100 psi (350 bar)

    • Series 52: Nominal 3600 psi (250 bar), peak 4600 psi (315 bar)

  • Variable Displacement for Flow Control
    Infinitely adjustable via swashplate design, enabling responsive modulation under varying sludge densities and backpressure.

  • Durable Shaft and Bearing Design
    Withstands axial and radial forces common in sludge and slurry transfer operations, extending equipment life and reducing maintenance intervals.

  • Compact Build with High Output
    Delivers high flow rates in a compact footprint, ideal for trailer-mounted or confined-space installations.

  • Multiple Control Options
    Available configurations include pressure control, flow control, electro-hydraulic actuation, and power limitation modes to match any system design.

Typical Applications

  • Sludge and slurry transfer in wastewater treatment facilities

  • Mobile pumping skids for field operations

  • Utility trailer-mounted pump systems

  • Mining and tunneling fluid handling

  • Temporary bypass systems during maintenance
