Choosing Dry Slurry Pumps Versus Submersible 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.

Traditionally, centrifugal pumps are used to pump highly abrasive slurries. Centrifugal pumps use the force generated by the rotating impeller to impinge kinetic energy into the slurry.

High head (i.e. the height to which the pump can move the liquid)

Consideration should be given to installing mixers on guide rods in the catch basin/tank to keep solids in suspension and avoid settling in the catch basin/tank. When investing in a slurry pump, you want to pump slurry that includes solids, not just dirty water. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the pump is doing this; by using an agitator, the pump is fed with solids and pumping the slurry.

Larger impellers made of more material. This is to compensate for the wear caused by abrasive slurry.
