high quality submerged slurry pump factories

One of the most frequently asked questions from our team of pump experts is: How do I pump slurry?xa0With this in mind, our team of experts have provided a useful guide to pumping slurry.

Another way of classifying the type of slurry pump installation is dry installation or wet installation. Dry installation pumps have the hydraulic end and drive located outside the liquid, whereas wet installation pumps (such as submersible pumps) operate within a catch basin or slurry. Submersible pumps do not require much support structure and therefore do not take up much space. Depending on the type of operation and installation required, the preferred method of pump installation is determined.

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

As wear is a function of speed, slurry pumps should be operated at the lowest possible speed; units typically run at 1,200 rpm or less. Often, direct coupling between the pump and a low-speed motor or other drive makes the most sense. On the other hand, many other applications favour gearboxes to meet the required speed and operating point. In services where variable flow rates are required, variable frequency drives are used to provide the necessary continuous speed variation.

All manufacturers are consistently involved in product development in the long and short term. Customers should expect to benefit from these developments in a number of ways: increased efficiency, increased reliability, reduced operating costs, or a combination of both.
