What Pump to Use to Pump Charcoal?

A small blower might do it?

What are they in - liquid or gas? What temperatures?

Could you use a screw drive instead?

Pumping IS A MISLEADING TERM. YOU MEAN LIFTING?

Then a plain screw conveyor or a bucket conveyor.

Might try a Tesla pump.

Volume was not stated or the type of source feeding the pump.

Are we talking wet, dry, dust an issue?

Does the output have any constraints like going through a 3 inch pipe?

To many options without more data.

Thank you for your reply sir.The etails are

volume= 0.15 cubic meter(.75 * .2* 1.00)

95%solid charcoal

5%water

3" inch pipe to be used

The Archimedes screw needs to be designed that even the largest piece is either chopped up at the screw or that it passes between the turns.......

3" is larger than most Pellet feeders for Ovens, but right in the money for pellet heating systems......

Do not also forget, animal feed pellet systems, which can get really large when needed....

Are your charcoal particles suspended in a slurry, or are they dry? If they are suspended in a slurry, the best would be to use a pneumatic diaphragm pump. If they are in solid form, then bucket or screw conveyors would be better.

As carbon is abrasive, and very light. You may look at using compressed air, or a blower of some type. this would save in pump problems and upkeep

If you look at a modern wood chip burner, they use a sort of Archimedes screw arrangement that works brilliantly, in spite of the hardness of the chips.

Easily to buy from a Stove manufacturer, and easy to control with just one electric motor.

If that is not big enough, use more than one or design yourself a big one!!!

You neglected to mention quantities and weights etc..

An Archimedes screw was the first thing to come to my mind too. Simple, reliable. A conveyor or bucket conveyor could also do the job if preferred for some reason.

This is the most agreement I've seen in any responses on CR4 :)
