clay dredge pump

Other manufacturers looking for differentiation, if not the end result, may choose to add a small part to their pump assembly in the description, thus allowing in-line adjustment of the wear ring in the suction side lining assembly.

What is the pump constructed of?

3.Basic pump components such as impeller size and design, materials of construction and discharge configuration must be considered to ensure that the pump can withstand the wear and tear caused by abrasive slurries. Slurry pumps are typically larger in size compared to low viscosity liquid pumps and often require more horsepower to operate due to their lower efficiency. Bearings and shafts must also be more robust and durable.

On the other hand, if the slurry is not only abrasive but also has a low pH, then a duplex stainless steel construction is preferable. This material is best suited for slurry pumps to withstand harsh materials (such as acids) while still having a high Brinell hardness.

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.

- Reduced space requirements - Since submersible slurry pumps operate directly in the slurry, they do not require any additional support structures.
