Explore our flagship industrial pumps, Roots blowers, and vacuum systems engineered to deliver maximum reliability under challenging processing conditions.
In modern mineral processing, aggregate washing, coal preparation, and industrial waste management, the dewatering screen feed pump acts as the vital heart of the solids recovery and separation circuit. Its primary function is to deliver abrasive, high-density slurries to vibrating dewatering screens at precise flow rates and pressures. Ensuring that the screen is fed uniformly is paramount to maximizing filtration efficiency, reducing screen moisture content, and avoiding costly process bottlenecks.
As a globally recognized leader in fluid and air handling, Shandong Zhangqiu Blower Co., Ltd. (ZCBC) designs and manufactures heavy-duty pumping equipment built to withstand the rigorous demands of dewatering applications. By utilizing cutting-edge hydraulic design software, highly wear-resistant materials, and robust bearing assemblies, ZCBC slurry pumps, including the renowned TZJ and ZJQ series, deliver consistent performance, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), and extended service intervals.
Shandong Zhangqiu Blower Co., Ltd. (formerly Shandong Zhangqiu Blower Works) has stood at the forefront of China's heavy industrial manufacturing sector for over 50 years.
Established as a premier manufacturing powerhouse, ZCBC has cultivated decades of expertise in blower and pump design. ZCBC stands as the executive director of the China General Machinery Industry Association and the vice president unit of the Fan Branch, as well as the executive director unit of the China International Turbomachinery Industry Alliance Council. ZCBC is also recognized as the primary drafting unit of national standards for Roots blowers in China.
Guided by our overall developing strategy — “Develop main business, pioneer new fields and innovate, cooperate to be a great company” — and motivated by our core working concept, “Do the best”, ZCBC operates a state-of-the-art 430,000 m² modern industrial park. Since July 7, 2011, the company has been publicly listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (Stock Code: 002598).
By 2020, our parent company realized an operating income of 1.5 billion yuan and a profit of 150 million yuan (including Zhang Drum and its participating holding companies). With 20 holding companies, ZCBC has established four major manufacturing bases in Wuxi (Jiangsu), Dongguan (Guangdong), Chenzhou (Hunan), and Jinchang (Gansu), along with four dedicated R&D centers in Beijing, Shanghai, Shijiazhuang, and Wuxi.
As the global demand for sustainable mineral processing and efficient sand production rises, Dewatering Screen Feed Pumps have become essential components in key international markets.
ZCBC has established a robust international footprint. We operate two Sino-Japanese Joint-ventures and a dedicated U.S. branch. We were the first company in China's blower/pump industry to establish an overseas presence, exporting products to more than 70 countries, including the United States, Germany, Italy, and Canada.
Our heavy-duty slurry pumps feed dewatering systems across diverse industries, from aggregate classification to coal preparation. Operating under varying regulatory frameworks, our products comply with major global safety standards, including UL, CE, ATEX, and local mining safety directives.
Our leadership extends beyond production. By serving as a primary drafter of national standards, ZCBC ensures that every pump we manufacture meets or exceeds rigorous quality expectations, guaranteeing reliability and long-term performance under demanding operation conditions.
High abrasive wear, chemical attacks, and mechanical stress are major challenges for dewatering feed pumps. ZCBC addresses these issues through advanced materials and precision engineering.
ZCBC utilizes ultra-high chromium alloys (typically containing 26% to 30% chromium, with a hardness rating of up to 65 HRC) to manufacture impellers, volute liners, and throatbushes. This composition delivers exceptional resistance against both sliding abrasion and high-impact erosion from coarse geological solids.
Our impellers are designed with optimized vane geometries that minimize internal turbulence, suppress cavitation, and maintain a high Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHa) margin. This helps prevent premature impeller degradation and ensures stable discharge velocities.
We offer customized sealing options tailored to specific site conditions. Whether using centrifugal expeller seals (which eliminate the need for gland seal water), traditional packed gland arrangements, or robust mechanical seals, ZCBC pumps minimize leakage and preserve water resources.

| Casing Wall Thickness | Reinforced (up to +25% margin) | Standard thickness | High pressure tolerance |
| Expeller Efficiency | High-efficiency sealing (up to 95%) | Standard expeller (80%) | Lower flush water demand |
| Design Prototyping | 3D CAD / CFD within 24 Hours | 3 to 5 working days | Fast installation design |
| Shaft Deflection | Minimised (heavy-duty shaft) | Standard design | Prolongs bearing life |
Our pumps are built to address specific challenges, delivering reliable performance across diverse operating conditions.
In modern mineral processing plants, environmental compliance mandates the recovery of water from tailings before they are discharged. ZCBC dewatering screen feed pumps deliver high-density underflow slurries to multi-deck vibrating screens, helping recover clean water and reduce waste volume.
Coal processing demands high-density medium circuits capable of handling abrasive magnetite. ZCBC pumps feed dewatering and drain screens with minimal degradation, ensuring consistent coal classification and clean output.
For construction sand washing applications, ZCBC pumps reliably handle silica slurry feeds. By delivering stable feed pressures, our systems prevent sand loss in overflow and ensure clean sand production.
Beyond slurry transport, ZCBC provides comprehensive engineering solutions, including MVR (Mechanical Vapor Recompression) evaporation, concentration, and crystallization systems, alongside environmental wastewater treatment services. This allows us to supply complete industrial water-treatment loops, helping facilities optimize liquid waste management and water reuse.
At ZCBC, technical innovation is central to our manufacturing process. We maintain a first-class product development and design center equipped with advanced development and analytical instruments. Our production facility is equipped with nearly 100 sets of advanced processing machinery, including:
Our engineering team can provide customized 3D drawings and CAD confirmation models within 24 hours. If customers send us initial drafts or photos of their current system configurations, our design team can quickly generate and confirm the matching mechanical layouts, simplifying on-site integration.
Every pump and blower manufactured by ZCBC is built to comply with international industrial standards, ensuring safe, reliable, and compliant operation.
ZCBC has been authorized with 69 patents (including 5 invention patents) and holds 2 software copyrights. Our proprietary innovations include countercurrent cooling, fan noise reduction, wear-resistant linings, two-stage tandem configurations, and smart monitoring systems. These technological features help enhance equipment service life and reduce operating noise levels in heavy-duty environments.
We implement a strict quality management system across all our facilities. Our manufacturing plants have achieved the following certifications:
As industrial processes shift toward automation and digitalization, ZCBC is focusing its development on three key areas.
We are integrating IoT-based vibration, temperature, and wear-rate sensors directly into our heavy slurry pumps. This real-time diagnostics data enables predictive maintenance, helping operators schedule repairs before unexpected breakdowns occur.
Our metallurgy R&D group is testing ceramic-metal composites and hard-facing coatings. These new materials are designed to double the wear resistance of pump components when handling acidic, highly corrosive, or abrasive slurries.
By optimizing pump hydraulics and slurry flow dynamics, we aim to reduce energy consumption in dewatering systems, supporting global mineral processing plants in reducing their environmental footprint.
