Pumping slurry can be a challenging problem, but with the right instruction, pumping and maintenance plan, you will achieve operational success.

Choosing Dry Slurry Pumps Versus Submersible Slurry Pumps

The slurry pump is mainly used in the mining industry, its wear resistance is strong. So It conveys slurry that containing slag, but it can conveys mud. The mud pump is usually made of cast iron, the wear resistance of the pump is low. So the mud pumps often used for conveying mud or slurry containing suspended particles.

- By increasing the size of the worm housing, the speed at which the media moves is reduced. This lower velocity translates into lower wear.

As wear is a function of speed, slurry pumps should be operated at the lowest possible speed; units typically run at 1,200 rpm or less. Often, direct coupling between the pump and a low-speed motor or other drive makes the most sense. On the other hand, many other applications favour gearboxes to meet the required speed and operating point. In services where variable flow rates are required, variable frequency drives are used to provide the necessary continuous speed variation.
