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

In this article, we will present practical guidelines and rules for slurry centrifugal pumps. We will also discuss key operating characteristics, material selection and other considerations.

2.Pumping slurries poses several challenges and problems, but with proper engineering and equipment selection you can experience many years of worry-free operation. It's important to work with a qualified engineer when selecting a slurry pump because slurries can wreak havoc on a pump if not properly selected.

The concentration of solids in the slurry - measured as a percentage of the total volume.

Runouts need to be minimized. The most common causes of the center of rotation movement are shaft whip and bearing wobble. The issue is even worse when there’s misalignment. Contrary to widespread assumption and practice, misalignment cannot be corrected or made up for by using flexible couplings.

Shaft and Bore Tolerance

O-rings are made to be elastic as they are usually stretched to fit into a groove before being compressed. You need to be careful of how you stretch the o-ring while installing it. In fact, you should stretch it more than 50%, and the stretching should be on all the sides, rather than one side.
