vertical chemical sump pump

These mud pumps can pump not only sand, but also more mud. They are very effective in pumping all forms of mud, gravel, concrete, slurry, slush, etc.

Slurry Pump Considerations

From an operational point of view the stuffing box is different as it requires some leakage to ensure lubrication and to prevent heat build up. The mechanical seal box should be leak free.

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.

Slurry Pump

Depending on the abrasive nature of the slurry, it is important to select the ideal seal. Slurry pump seals should have a hardened surface made of silicon carbide or tungsten carbide. Vortex pumps use patented seal technology that utilizes a double mechanical seal setup and a separate seal flushing system. This allows the sealing surface to be kept cool at all times without causing the slurry to overheat the seal and crack the surface.
