china submersible slurry pump

Although the focus of slurry pumps is often on the size and percentage of solids to be pumped, in many applications corrosion resistance is also an important factor in material selection. In such cases, the material chosen must provide adequate resistance to erosion and corrosion.

When pumping slurry in wet sand applications, we must evaluate the abrasive particles flowing through the piping and then assess how they affect the slurry pump. If the pump is lined with poor quality rubber, the particles will not rebound effectively and, as a result, the rubber will begin to break down. The air shavings then begin to accelerate and negatively impact the efficiency of the pump, often leading to turbulence.

In a word, the wear-resistant properties of the slurry pumps are stronger, and the ability to convey particles is also stronger. Generally, the capacity of the slurry pump is larger than the mud pump, which is mainly used for coal and metal ore washing. The mud pumps are more suitable for abrasive slurry is not very strong.

A quench plan, as the name indicates, is designed to quench or cool the seal. It is normally used if short periods of dry running are expected. As illustrated bellow, the fluid is introduced into the area between the back of the seal faces and the close fit exit on the drive side of the pump.

Natural rubber is an excellent wear material when handling wet sand slurries. Its strength, resilience and cut resistance have a positive impact on the wear performance of slurry pumps.
