china abrasive slurry pump

As wear is a function of speed, slurry pumps should be operated at the lowest possible speed; units typically run at 1,200 rpm or less. Often, direct coupling between the pump and a low-speed motor or other drive makes the most sense. On the other hand, many other applications favour gearboxes to meet the required speed and operating point. In services where variable flow rates are required, variable frequency drives are used to provide the necessary continuous speed variation.

reduce the discharge pressure of the pump to the lowest possible point, and.

-When pumping abrasive slurries, it is essential to use wear-resistant components with a high chromium content. But more is not always better - above 25%, the impeller becomes brittle.

Keep in mind that slurry pumps are designed to adapt to specific pumping conditions. Pumps used in the cement industry handle most fine particles at low pressures, so the casing can be of lightweight construction. In rock pumping, the casing and impeller must be able to resist slamming, so they must be built thick and strong.

If pump size and type are not defined, it is worth considering the following factors when selecting a dredge pump and dredge pump: type and thickness of material to be pumped, whether diesel or electric power is required, HP (kw) of engine required, pump performance data, durability, ease of maintenance and average life expectancy under normal operating conditions. life, all important attributes in the selection process. Equally important is matching the proper pipe size and composition to maintain proper material flow without clogging the pipe and to maintain the pumping output needed to get the job done.
