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.

It is critical to determine the right slurry pump size and power requirements for your application. Depending on the abrasive nature of the slurry, it is important to select a pump size that will allow it to run at a slow enough speed to extend the life of the slurry pump. The ideal RPM to run a slurry pump is between 900 and 1200 RPM. Once that speed is started to be exceeded, the life of the pump is greatly reduced because the wear points of the slurry pump are actually sandblasted.

Choosing the right material for a slurry pump is another key process in determining the right pump for handling slurry. If the slurry is highly abrasive with neutral pH, then the best material of construction is Hi-Chrome. this metallurgy has the highest Brinell hardness and can withstand the abrasiveness of the slurry.

- By increasing the size of the worm housing, the speed at which the media moves is reduced. This lower velocity translates into lower wear.
