Consider the impeller. Slurry pumps must have thicker vanes than water pumps to prevent wear. Due to the increased thickness, there will be fewer vanes, otherwise the passages will be too narrow and will affect the performance of the pump. The impeller should have a large enough passage so that the largest solid particles can pass through without clogging.

Selecting And Operating A Slurry Pump

Slurry pumps are usually larger than standard pumps, have more horsepower and use stronger bearings and shafts. The most common >type of slurry pump is the centrifugal pump. These pumps use a rotating impeller to move the slurry, similar to the way aqueous liquids pass through a standard centrifugal pump.

In this article, we will present practical guidelines and rules for slurry centrifugal pumps. We will also discuss key operating characteristics, material selection and other considerations.

Adapting a pump to its precise application - be it pulp and paper, gas and oil, mining or industrial applications - will have a direct impact on its service life. That's why our bespoke pumps have the unique advantage of interchangeable components. These components include slurry valves, which can be replaced every 6 months as a preventive measure and every 12 months for regular maintenance, depending on the application.
