Determine the nature of the material to be pumped

Slurry Pump

Damage to slurry pumps can range from burst seals to bearings and component housings wearing out where they join, to impellers corroding due to cavitation or severe wear and so on. However, there are solutions to these problems.

Capacity: 5-30000m3/h, Head: 5-120m. The company can produce different materials including High Chromium White Iron, Super High Chromium Hypereutectic White Iron, Low Carbon High Chromium Alloy, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Duplex Stainless Steel, Ductile Iron, Grey Iron, etc. We can also provide natural rubber, elastomer rubber parts and pumps.

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.

To reduce component wear, most centrifugal slurry pumps run at fairly low speeds - typically less than 1200 rpm. Find the optimum position that allows the pump to run as slowly as possible but fast enough to prevent solids from settling out of the slurry deposit and clogging the lines.
