high quality slurry pump seals supplier

Metal and/or rubber pump bushings are used to combat the erosion of solid particles found in the slurry. Metal slurry pump housings are usually made of carbide to resist erosion caused by increased pressure and circulation. Sometimes wear-resistant steel is used on the pump casing so that the pump can be welded if repairs are needed.

In this article, we will present practical guidelines and rules for slurry centrifugal pumps. We will also discuss key operating characteristics, material selection and other considerations.

Slurry pumps are usually larger than standard pumps, have more horsepower and use stronger bearings and shafts. The most common >type of slurry pump is the centrifugal pump. These pumps use a rotating impeller to move the slurry, similar to the way aqueous liquids pass through a standard centrifugal pump.

The FGD process begins when the limestone feed (rock) is reduced in size by crushing it in a ball mill and then mixed with water in a slurry supply tank. The slurry (approx. 90% water) is then pumped into the absorption tank. As the consistency of the limestone slurry tends to change, suction conditions can occur which can lead to cavitation and pump failure.

Slurry Pump selection

The slurry pump is mainly used in the mining industry, its wear resistance is strong. So It conveys slurry that containing slag, but it can conveys mud. The mud pump is usually made of cast iron, the wear resistance of the pump is low. So the mud pumps often used for conveying mud or slurry containing suspended particles.
