Longer maintenance intervals

The design of the slurry pump is critical to ensure that the abrasive and often corrosive aspects of the slurry do not damage the impeller. In addition, slurries and sludges may contain large amounts of unforeseen solids, which will inevitably clog many types of pumps. Since most centrifugal pump impellers have very tight tolerances on the worm gear, the abrasive (and sometimes corrosive) nature of the slurry will quickly wear down the worm gear and destroy the tolerances. In turn, this causes the pump to lose suction. This can lead to extensive downtime of the slurry pump, as well as expensive maintenance and spare parts.

Under ideal conditions, a dredge pump can produce fluid acceleration greater than the speed of its fastest moving component.

Pumping slurry can cause excessive wear and tear on the pump and its components as the mud can clog the suction and discharge lines.
