Choosing Dry Slurry Pumps Versus Submersible Slurry Pumps

There are many factors that should be considered when investing in a slurry pump. For example, it is important to consider the type of slurry, as the solids content of slurries can vary from 1% to 70%. It is also important to consider the level of wear and corrosion of the material being pumped; coal and some ores can corrode parts and damage your equipment fairly quickly, often beyond repair. This wear and tear can add significantly to operating costs, and you may eventually need to purchase new equipment to continue working.

Heavy-Duty Slurry Pump

Pumps designed to pump slurries will be heavier than pumps designed for less viscous liquids because slurries are heavy and difficult to pump.

The basic mechanical seal flushing programme is very simple. It requires that a clear/clean fluid (usually water) is introduced into the space between the actual seal and the impeller side outlet restriction. The flushing fluid is introduced at a pressure higher than the pumping pressure, thus ensuring positive outflow/flushing of the mechanical seal and a clean operating environment.
