high quality portable submersible slurry pump factory

One of the most frequently asked questions from our team of pump experts is: How do I pump slurry? With this in mind, our team of experts have provided a useful guide to pumping slurry.

Flushing is defined as a fluid which is introduced into the seal cavity on the process fluid side, close to the seal face, and is normally used to cool and lubricate the seal face.

When pumping slurry in wet sand applications, we must evaluate the abrasive particles flowing through the piping and then assess how they affect the slurry pump. If the pump is lined with poor quality rubber, the particles will not rebound effectively and, as a result, the rubber will begin to break down. The air shavings then begin to accelerate and negatively impact the efficiency of the pump, often leading to turbulence.

Typically, slurries are.

It is critical to determine the right slurry pump size and power requirements for your application. Depending on the abrasive nature of the slurry, it is important to select a pump size that will allow it to run at a slow enough speed to extend the life of the slurry pump. The ideal RPM to run a slurry pump is between 900 and 1200 RPM. Once that speed is started to be exceeded, the life of the pump is greatly reduced because the wear points of the slurry pump are actually sandblasted.

WL Series Light-duty pumps are cantilevered, horizontal centrifugal slurry pumps. They are suitable for delivering low density slurries for metallurgical, mining, coal and building material departments. The shaft seal adopts both gland seal and centrifugal seal.
