portable slurry pump

Other manufacturers looking for differentiation, if not the end result, may choose to add a small part to their pump assembly in the description, thus allowing in-line adjustment of the wear ring in the suction side lining assembly.

Horizontal centrifugal pumps are commonly used for slurry service, but vertical and other types of pumps are better suited to certain specific applications. Centrifugal pumps for handling slurries have features tailored to specific services that reflect the corrosive or abrasive nature of the slurry and the concentration of solids. These may include the choice of materials, the use of liners or even different drive sizes.

Consideration should be given to installing mixers on guide rods in the catch basin/tank to keep solids in suspension and avoid settling in the catch basin/tank. When investing in a slurry pump, you want to pump slurry that includes solids, not just dirty water. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the pump is doing this; by using an agitator, the pump is fed with solids and pumping the slurry.

If pump size and type are not defined, it is worth considering the following factors when selecting a dredge pump and dredge pump: type and thickness of material to be pumped, whether diesel or electric power is required, HP (kw) of engine required, pump performance data, durability, ease of maintenance and average life expectancy under normal operating conditions. life, all important attributes in the selection process. Equally important is matching the proper pipe size and composition to maintain proper material flow without clogging the pipe and to maintain the pumping output needed to get the job done.

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.
