How does a dredge pump work?

Any type of impeller can be used in slurry applications, but closed slurry pump impellers are more common because they are high efficient and abrasion Resistance,. Open slurry pump impellers are usually used well for high concentration solids as they are less likely to clog. For example, the small fibers in paper stock which, in high densities, may have a tendency to clog the impeller. Pumping slurry can be difficult.

Slurry pump impeller, is one of the most important parts of centrifugal slurry pumps. Depending on the application, slurry pump impeller selection is crucial to slurry pump performance. Slurry applications can be especially hard on the impeller of slurry pumps because of their abrasive nature. In order slurry pumps operates efficiently and stand up to the test of time, impeller has to be selected properly for slurry pumps.

Non-settling slurries consist of very fine particles that do not settle to the bottom of the pipe and do not settle for very long (i.e. weeks).

Other manufacturers looking for differentiation, if not the end result, may choose to add a small part to their pump assembly in the description, thus allowing in-line adjustment of the wear ring in the suction side lining assembly.
