high quality slurry sand pump

A variety of factors must be considered to ensure a satisfactory service. Here are tips for choosing the right , pump, .xa0, In applications ranging from processing to wastewater treatment, plants often have to handle slurries. Handling this mixture of liquids and solids can be challenging and difficult. Some of the key factors in slurry pumping are the size and nature of the solids in the liquid and the type of wear they cause. Another is the corrosiveness of the liquid or mixture.

Natural rubber is an excellent wear material when handling wet sand slurries. Its strength, resilience and cut resistance have a positive impact on the wear performance of slurry pumps.

A typical pump solution for this application is to install a hard metal >slurry pump to withstand these types of conditions. Hard metal pumps need to be able to withstand the most severe abrasive slurry service and they also need to be designed to be extremely easy to maintain and safe.

The basic mechanical seal flushing programme is very simple. It requires that a clear/clean fluid (usually water) is introduced into the space between the actual seal and the impeller side outlet restriction. The flushing fluid is introduced at a pressure higher than the pumping pressure, thus ensuring positive outflow/flushing of the mechanical seal and a clean operating environment.

Caution: A common mistake is to over-pressurise the box and damage the expensive mechanical seal.

The winch dredger is usually equipped with a hull-mounted dredge pump, which has an impeller centered at or below the draft line for further production and improved suction efficiency.
