BCT Ceramic Slurry Pumps

Mixers can also help agitators when pumping very dense particles. In applications where the tank is small and/or where pumping is desired to lower the water level in the tank, a slurry pump with an internal cooling system should be considered to avoid overheating of the stator (when the water level gets low). When pumping sediment from a dam or lagoon, consider the use of a raft unit, which is a submersible device. Agitators are recommended, as well as one or more mixers that can be mounted on the raft or pump to resuspend particles for successful pumping of particles.

Choosing Dry Slurry Pumps Versus Submersible Slurry Pumps

- Hydraulic efficiency is as important as the material, as efficiency is related to wear. The swept-back design of the impeller blades minimises the separation of solids from the carrying fluid, resulting in a more uniform flow. This results in a slower wear rate.

What are the materials used to construct the pump?

Find the best position that allows the pump to run as slowly as possible (to reduce wear) but fast enough to prevent solids from settling and clogging the piping.

These seals are designed to fit snugly around the shaft of the machine, preventing oil from leaking out while also keeping dirt, dust, and other contaminants from entering.
