I need to build a centrifugal pump with a 8" suction and discharge. Pump 8000l water per min and 48 cub m of gravel and sand per hour.Should be an "Africa" pump - easy to build,welded together

Any drawings or ideas would be appreciated

Ask some of your pump suppliers. But you will need size distribution for the sand and gravel.

There is a big market niche for special case pumps for mines. This kind of pumps is specially designed for sand and gravel (up to 50 mm dia.) pumping. There is a lot of companies and you can try to start with them.
