What EDDY Pump does

EDDY Pump Corporation is a privately held US manufacturer of industrial slurry pumps and dredging equipment, founded in 1984 and headquartered in El Cajon, California. The company is built around a patented eddy current / vortex pump architecture using an open recessed-rotor design that eliminates critical tolerances, allowing the pumps to move slurries with 40-70% solids by volume and objects up to 11-12 inches in diameter without clogging, outperforming centrifugal, vortex, and positive displacement pumps in demanding applications. The product portfolio spans 1- to 12-inch slurry pumps in submersible, self-priming, flooded-suction, HHHV (high-head high-viscosity), booster, and US Navy/marine configurations, plus an integrated line of dredging equipment (excavator pump attachments, ModDredge variants, dredge sleds, cable-deployed, diver-operated, and Subdredge ROV systems), the NOEX oil drilling cuttings system, and ancillary products such as HPUs, VFDs, and wireless Doppler flowmeters. A dedicated titanium pump is in development for highly corrosive chemical applications. EDDY Pump manufactures both its pumps and dredging equipment in-house, which is unusual for the industry and supports tighter system integration and BABA/Made-in-USA eligibility for federal procurement.

Revenue is generated through three streams: direct sale of hardware (pumps, dredging systems, and drilling cuttings equipment) on quote-based multi-year contracts; an in-house equipment rental fleet for submersible, trailer-mounted, and ROV dredge systems; and professional services including dredging contracting, parts, repair, technical support, and startup/commissioning. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based per configuration. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales with engineering consultation, supported by a multilingual (six-language) website, technical content marketing (blog, case studies, calculators, YouTube), a Pump-Flo storefront, and an active social presence. Customers are industrial and government end users across mining and tailings, dredging and marine construction, oil and gas drilling, wastewater treatment, sand and aggregate, fly ash, paper and pulp, chemical processing, agriculture and irrigation, and naval/defense. Named customers include the US Navy (USS Kearsarge brine and VCHT sewage systems, roughly 25-year relationship), Rio Tinto (red mud cleanup), Flatiron Construction, Budrovich Marine, Mare Island Dry Dock, and Anderson Process; the company self-reports 5,000+ completed projects and 50,000+ businesses served over its 40+ year history.

Core offering

EDDY Pump manufactures and sells industrial slurry pumps and dredging equipment built around its patented eddy current (vortex) technology with an open-rotor design. The equipment is engineered to pump high-viscosity, high-specific-gravity, abrasive, and corrosive slurries — handling 40–70% solids by volume and solids up to 11–12 inches in diameter without clogging. The product range spans 1–12 inch pump models in submersible, self-priming, flooded-suction, and high-head/high-viscosity configurations, plus integrated dredging systems (excavator attachments, autonomous and diver-operated dredges, dredge sleds, cable-deployed units), and is complemented by equipment rentals, dredging services, parts/repair, and technical support.

Product overview

EDDY Pump is a U.S.-based manufacturer of industrial slurry pumps and dredging equipment established in 1984. The product portfolio centers on patented eddy current pump technology that outperforms centrifugal, vortex, and positive displacement pumps in high-solids, high-viscosity, and abrasive applications. Core offerings include a range of Slurry Pumps (1-inch to 12-inch sizes) capable of handling 40-70% solids by volume and objects up to 11 inches in diameter, Submersible Slurry Pumps, Self-Priming Pumps, and High-Head/High-Viscosity (HHHV) Pumps. The dredging equipment lineup includes Excavator Pump Attachments, Dredge Sled, Autonomous ModDredge, Subdredge (Remote Operated), Diver Operated Dredge, Cable-Deployed Dredge, and Mini Auger ModDredge, plus specialized US Navy/Marine Pumps with VCHT systems. The NOEX Oil Drilling Cuttings Pump System is a specialized product for oil and gas drilling waste management with dual-motor dual-pump configuration. Supporting products include Booster Pumps, Hydraulic Power Units, Variable Frequency Drives, and Wireless Doppler Flowmeters. Services include equipment rentals, dredging services, and parts/repair support. The company manufactures both pumps and dredging equipment for optimal system compatibility.
