Slurry pump considerations

With the standard flush schedule, the flow is usually adjusted by compressing the packings until a few drops of water are observed leaking from the seals on the drive side. In a quench schedule the flow rate is set by adjusting the inlet valve, while a valve is used on the exhaust side to maintain the correct seal tank pressure. If the outlet water from the seal box is too hot, the flow rate is increased until the outlet water cools, while still maintaining the correct seal box pressure.

BCT Ceramic Slurry Pumps

Any type of impeller can be used in slurry applications, but closed slurry pump impellers are more common because they are high efficient and abrasion Resistance,. Open slurry pump impellers are usually used well for high concentration solids as they are less likely to clog. For example, the small fibers in paper stock which, in high densities, may have a tendency to clog the impeller. Pumping slurry can be difficult.
