china heavy duty slurry pump factories

The design of the slurry pump is critical to ensure that the abrasive and often corrosive aspects of the slurry do not damage the impeller. In addition, slurries and sludges may contain large amounts of unforeseen solids, which will inevitably clog many types of pumps. Since most centrifugal pump impellers have very tight tolerances on the worm gear, the abrasive (and sometimes corrosive) nature of the slurry will quickly wear down the worm gear and destroy the tolerances. In turn, this causes the pump to lose suction. This can lead to extensive downtime of the slurry pump, as well as expensive maintenance and spare parts.

- Smaller, more efficient tank - Because the motor is cooled by the surrounding liquid, the submersible slurry pump can be started up to 30 times per hour, resulting in a smaller, more efficient tank.

Settling slurries are formed by coarse particles, which tend to form unstable mixtures. Special attention should be paid to flow and power calculations when selecting a pump. Most slurry applications consist of coarse particles and therefore have a higher abrasion resistance.

- Lower operating costs - Typically, submersible slurry pumps require much lower operating costs than dry mounted pumps due to higher efficiency.

If centrifugal, are the impellers of the right design and material?
