high quality electric slurry pump manufacturers

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.

When pumping slurry in wet sand applications, we must evaluate the abrasive particles flowing through the piping and then assess how they affect the slurry pump. If the pump is lined with poor quality rubber, the particles will not rebound effectively and, as a result, the rubber will begin to break down. The air shavings then begin to accelerate and negatively impact the efficiency of the pump, often leading to turbulence.

The size and nature of the solids in the liquid: The size and nature will affect the amount of physical wear on the pump and its components, and whether the solids will pass through the pump without being damaged.

Compared to standard centrifugal pumps, centrifugal pumps optimised for slurry pumping usually have the following features.
