china metal slurry pump

Again, to meet life cycle cost considerations, pumps should be equipped with large diameter impellers for lower operating speeds and longer wear life, as well as field replaceable rubber liners that can be bolted on for quick maintenance. In a typical coal-fired power plant, two to five pumps will be used in each spray tower.

A slurry is a mixture of fluids, which consists of a water-like liquid and particles. Typically, slurry acts in the same way as a viscous, sticky fluid - moving with gravity - but usually needs to be pumped.

Slurry Pump

Using rubber as a wear lining material means

There is a better way to pump sewage, overflows and other collected dirty water around the plant.

The size of slurry pump impeller must be considered to ensure it holds up against abrasive wear. Slurry pump impellers are generally larger in size when compared to slurry pumps for less abrasive liquids. The more “meat” the impeller has, the better it will hold up to the task of pumping harsh slurry mixtures. Just think of slurry pump impeller as a football team’s offensive line. These players are usually large and slow. Throughout the whole game they are beaten up, over and over again, but expected to withstand the abuse. You wouldn’t want small players in this position, just like you wouldn’t want a small impeller on your slurry pumps.
