Desire for higher efficiency than centrifugal pumps

If you've ever pumped a slurry, you know it can be one of the most challenging fluids to work with. It is abrasive, viscous, sometimes corrosive, and contains a lot of solids. There's no doubt that the slurry on the pump is hard. But the more you know about what's being pumped, the better your pump selection will be, resulting in longer mean time between failures. Next, the target=_blank title=Slurry Pump Supplier>slurry pump supplier will share the following content with you.

Adapting a pump to its precise application - be it pulp and paper, gas and oil, mining or industrial applications - will have a direct impact on its service life. That's why our bespoke pumps have the unique advantage of interchangeable components. These components include slurry valves, which can be replaced every 6 months as a preventive measure and every 12 months for regular maintenance, depending on the application.

When pumping slurry in wet sand applications, we must evaluate the abrasive particles flowing through the piping and then assess how they affect the slurry pump. If the pump is lined with poor quality rubber, the particles will not rebound effectively and, as a result, the rubber will begin to break down. The air shavings then begin to accelerate and negatively impact the efficiency of the pump, often leading to turbulence.

What is slurry?

Consider the impeller. Slurry pumps must have thicker vanes than water pumps to prevent wear. Due to the increased thickness, there will be fewer vanes, otherwise the passages will be too narrow and will affect the performance of the pump. The impeller should have a large enough passage so that the largest solid particles can pass through without clogging.
