The dredge pump is designed to draw sediment, debris and other hazardous materials from the surface layer into the suction pipe and transport the material through the pipe to the discharge site. The pump must be able to handle common solid debris of various sizes that can pass through the pump, thus minimizing the downtime required for cleaning.

Flushing is defined as a fluid which is introduced into the seal cavity on the process fluid side, close to the seal face, and is normally used to cool and lubricate the seal face.

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.

Fine-grained sand can be extremely abrasive and typically wears slurry pumps quickly. Characteristics of coarse aggregates that can affect pump performance are size, shape and surface texture, as well as gradual changes in particle size, while fine materials can create excessive friction in the pipe.

How to choose a slurry pump?

The malleability of wrought iron fencing allows for a vast range of designs and styles, from the classic to the avant-garde. With aluminum, you’re somewhat confined to the manufacturer’s designs.

Aluminum windows profile and aluminium doors profile have a series of excellent performances such as high hardness, strong toughness, good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The overall weight bearing capacity of the window is strong, wear-resistant and durable.
