SUMMARY
Ragging in sewage pumps is primarily caused by the accumulation of fibrous materials on the impeller, leading to decreased efficiency and potential blockages. Key contributors include poor maintenance, broken seals, excessive usage, and impeller wear due to cavitation. Understanding these factors is essential for effective sewage pump operation and maintenance.
