Pumps clog due to excessive debris volume, debris size, or debris shape. Pumps are rated for handling debris at a given size, but usually it's considered a 'spherical' diameter for passage. Low pump discharge velocity or heavy debris weight can also add to a pumps clogging due to the inability for a pump to move the solids away from the sump. 'Ragging' of a pump is a type of clogging that occurs between the impeller and volute by material trying to pass from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure suction side, getting stuck, and stopping the impeller from turning.
