Applications of Rubber Lined Slurry Pumps

A dredge pump contains a pump casing and an impeller. The impeller is mounted in the pump casing and connected to the drive motor via a gearbox and shaft. The front part of the pump casing is sealed with a suction cover and connected directly to the suction pipe of the dredger. The discharge port of the dredge pump is located near the top of the dredge pump and is connected to a separate discharge line.

Critical to the engineering of the pump are heavy duty bearing frames and shafts, extra thick wall sections and easily replaceable wear parts. Total life cycle cost considerations are critical when specifying pumps for severe operating conditions, such as FGD service. High chrome pumps are ideal due to the corrosive pH of the slurry.

Discharge ports can be placed at 45 degree intervals and oriented in up to 8 different positions depending on your needs.

Selecting a dredge pump

WY type pump casing is made of abrasion resistant metal, impeller material can be abrasion resistant metal or rubber. The submerged parts of WYJ are all lined with rubber, for transfer corrosive slurry.
