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.

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.

Horizontal pumps are the most commonly used type of slurry pump and therefore have the advantage of being easy to install or maintain, a wide range of flow parameters to choose from and a wide range of design materials to choose from. One of the advantages of vertical pumps, however, is the relatively small amount of floor space required for installation.

In AIER® slurry pumps, WY & WYJ sump pump are vertical centrifugal slurry pump, submerged for transfer abrasive, coarse particles and high density slurry. When working, it needs no seal water or any kind of seal. It can work well as well when suction volume is not enough.

Compared to standard centrifugal pumps, centrifugal pumps optimized for slurry pumping typically have the following features.

The rule of thumb for setting the water pressure is the same when using the pack box, whether flushing. Mud pump shut-off pressure plus 10% or plus 20 psi, whichever is greater. However, the flow rate is set differently.
