warman centrifugal slurry pump

Why would maintenance personnel want to adjust a high-speed rotating impeller to a static lining component while the unit is running? Even if interlocking devices are used to prevent static and non-static components from coming into contact, how credible are these features and what are the implications for pump wear parts, bearings and motors if these two components come into contact?

The basic mechanical seal flushing programme is very simple. It requires that a clear/clean fluid (usually water) is introduced into the space between the actual seal and the impeller side outlet restriction. The flushing fluid is introduced at a pressure higher than the pumping pressure, thus ensuring positive outflow/flushing of the mechanical seal and a clean operating environment.

Positive displacement slurry pumps with limited capacity to deliver high head are used to pump slurry through pipes with very high solids concentrations.

Despite the complexity of internal flow patterns, the overall performance of dredge pumps is predictable.
