One of the most frequently asked questions from our team of pump experts is: How do I pump slurry? With this in mind, our team of experts have provided a useful guide to pumping slurry.

It is critical to determine the right slurry pump size and power requirements for your application. Depending on the abrasive nature of the slurry, it is important to select a pump size that will allow it to run at a slow enough speed to extend the life of the slurry pump. The ideal RPM to run a slurry pump is between 900 and 1200 RPM. Once that speed is started to be exceeded, the life of the pump is greatly reduced because the wear points of the slurry pump are actually sandblasted.

The size and nature of the solids in the liquid: The size and nature will affect the amount of physical wear on the pump and its components, and whether the solids will pass through the pump without being damaged.

The selection of a dredge or >slurry pump can be a challenging process that can be simplified by understanding the main factors behind the smooth operation of a pump. In addition to providing more efficient performance, the right dredge pump requires less maintenance, lower power and a relatively longer life.

Examples of these dubious enhancements to impeller adjustment abound in the industry. One of these is the adjustable wear ring or suction liner to maintain the recommended clearance between the impeller front shroud and the throat bushing face. Almost all >slurry pumps, including AIER® slurry pumps, have features to ensure that this equipment specification can be maintained over time.
