china slurry pump mechanical seal supplier

The slurry must be pumped from the absorber tank to the top of the spray tower where it is sprayed downwards as a fine mist to react with the upward moving flue gas. With pumping volumes typically in the range of 16,000 to 20,000 gallons of slurry per minute and heads of 65 to 110 feet, rubber lined slurry pumps are the optimal pumping solution.

Adapting a pump to its precise application - be it pulp and paper, gas and oil, mining or industrial applications - will have a direct impact on its service life. That's why our bespoke pumps have the unique advantage of interchangeable components. These components include slurry valves, which can be replaced every 6 months as a preventive measure and every 12 months for regular maintenance, depending on the application.

The design of the slurry pump is critical to ensure that the abrasive and often corrosive aspects of the slurry do not damage the impeller. In addition, slurries and sludges may contain large amounts of unforeseen solids, which will inevitably clog many types of pumps. Since most centrifugal pump impellers have very tight tolerances on the worm gear, the abrasive (and sometimes corrosive) nature of the slurry will quickly wear down the worm gear and destroy the tolerances. In turn, this causes the pump to lose suction. This can lead to extensive downtime of the slurry pump, as well as expensive maintenance and spare parts.

Another way of classifying the type of slurry pump installation is dry installation or wet installation. Dry installation pumps have the hydraulic end and drive located outside the liquid, whereas wet installation pumps (such as submersible pumps) operate within a catch basin or slurry. Submersible pumps do not require much support structure and therefore do not take up much space. Depending on the type of operation and installation required, the preferred method of pump installation is determined.
