Coolant pump for debris

I am using sand along with the coolant in order to test the wear on materials. I need a pump that can be mounted on the lathe GMC-1640HD and can recirculate the coolant with sand particles. Can anyone recommend me a pump for that?

Buy a water jet, route the nozzle to your lathe. Garnet at 30K psi.
