If you have experience pumping slurries, you know it's not an easy task. Slurries are heavy and difficult to pump. They cause excessive wear on pumps and their components and are known to clog suction and discharge lines if not moving fast enough. Most importantly, it’s a challenge to make slurry pumps last for a reasonable amount of time. But, there are a few things you can do to extend the life of your slurry pump and make pumping slurry less of a challenge.

High head (i.e. the height to which the pump can move the liquid)

Compared to standard centrifugal pumps, centrifugal pumps optimised for slurry pumping usually have the following features.

Keep in mind that slurry pumps are designed to adapt to specific pumping conditions. Pumps used in the cement industry handle most fine particles at low pressures, so the casing can be of lightweight construction. In rock pumping, the casing and impeller must be able to resist slamming, so they must be built thick and strong.

Critical to the engineering of the pump are heavy duty bearing frames and shafts, extra thick wall sections and easily replaceable wear parts. Total life cycle cost considerations are critical when specifying pumps for severe operating conditions, such as FGD service. High chrome pumps are ideal due to the corrosive pH of the slurry.

The discharge branch can be positioned at intervals of 45 degrees by request and oriented to any eight positions to suit installations and applications. There are many drive modes for option, such as V-belt, flexible coupling, gearbox, hydraulic coupler variable frequency, silicon controlled speed, etc. Among them, the flexible shaft coupling drive and V-belt feature of low cost and easy installation.
