china oem heavy duty slurry pump factory

A slurry is any mixture of a fluid (such as water) and a powdery solid. Slurries are used as a convenient way to handle bulk solids in the mining, steel processing, foundry, power generation and, more recently, frac sand mining industries. Slurries typically behave like viscous viscous fluids, flowing under gravity, but can also be pumped as needed.

Pumping slurry can cause excessive wear and tear on the pump and its components as the mud can clog the suction and discharge lines.

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.

Flushing is defined as a fluid which is introduced into the seal cavity on the process fluid side, close to the seal face, and is normally used to cool and lubricate the seal face.
