Slurry Pump

Choosing the right slurry pump

- Installation flexibility - The submersible slurry pump is available in a variety of mounting models, including portable and semi-permanent (also easy to move as it can be freely suspended from a chain or similar device without having to be bolted to the ground/floor, etc.).

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.

In a subsea installation, the slurry pump runs directly in the slurry and does not require a support structure, which means it is flexible and easy to install. If possible, the catch basin should be equipped with sloping walls to allow sediment to slide down into the area directly below the pump inlet. Agitators should be used when the liquid contains large amounts of solids and has a high particle density. Freestanding or side-mounted (submersible) mixers are an excellent choice for resuspended solids, especially if the catch basin is large or does not have sloping walls.

There are three different >types of slurry pump impellers; open, closed, and semi-open. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, depending on the application. Some are better for solids handling, others are better for high efficiency.
