Light-duty Slurry Pump

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.

Horizontal pumps are the most commonly used type of slurry pump and therefore have the advantage of being easy to install or maintain, a wide range of flow parameters to choose from and a wide range of design materials to choose from. One of the advantages of vertical pumps, however, is the relatively small amount of floor space required for installation.

A quench plan, as the name indicates, is designed to quench or cool the seal. It is normally used if short periods of dry running are expected. As illustrated bellow, the fluid is introduced into the area between the back of the seal faces and the close fit exit on the drive side of the pump.
