Low slurry flow rates

In harsh conditions with sand, sludge, rocks and mud, ordinary slurry pumps tend to clog, wear and fail frequently. But WA heavy duty slurry pumps are highly resistant to wear and corrosion, which means that the service life of our slurry pumps is better than other manufacturers' pumps.

Traditionally, centrifugal pumps are used to pump highly abrasive slurries. Centrifugal pumps use the force generated by the rotating impeller to impinge kinetic energy into the slurry.

Materials of Construction

A slurry is a mixture of fluids, which consists of a water-like liquid and particles. Typically, slurry acts in the same way as a viscous, sticky fluid - moving with gravity - but usually needs to be pumped.

The size of slurry pump impeller must be considered to ensure it holds up against abrasive wear. Slurry pump impellers are generally larger in size when compared to slurry pumps for less abrasive liquids. The more “meat” the impeller has, the better it will hold up to the task of pumping harsh slurry mixtures. Just think of slurry pump impeller as a football team’s offensive line. These players are usually large and slow. Throughout the whole game they are beaten up, over and over again, but expected to withstand the abuse. You wouldn’t want small players in this position, just like you wouldn’t want a small impeller on your slurry pumps.
