Selecting the right pump for slurries is critical to get the most bang for your buck. Basic pump components, such as the impeller size and design, material of construction, and discharge configurations must be considered to ensure the pump will hold up against the wear caused by an abrasive slurry. Slurry pumps are generally larger in size when compared to low-viscosity liquid pumps and usually require more horsepower to operate because they're less efficient. Bearings and shafts must be more rugged and rigid as well.

Slurry Pump

Slurry pump impeller, is one of the most important parts of centrifugal slurry pumps. Depending on the application, slurry pump impeller selection is crucial to slurry pump performance. Slurry applications can be especially hard on the impeller of slurry pumps because of their abrasive nature. In order slurry pumps operates efficiently and stand up to the test of time, impeller has to be selected properly for slurry pumps.

Fewer and thicker vanes on the impeller. This makes it easier for solids to pass through than the 5-9 vanes on a standard centrifugal pump - typically 2-5 vanes.

We know that the right rubber and ceramic liners work very well. They also last longer and can withstand more demanding use. They can also be replaced, thereby extending the life of the pump while reducing operating costs. You can also customise your pump with a variety of ceramic parts, including bushings, pump housings, impellers, wet ends and even seals.

When flushing is required, the >slurry pump supplier recommends the API Option 32 sealed pipe arrangement as it is more suitable for services containing solids or contaminants that could damage the seal faces if recirculated in the flushing medium.
