slurry pump seals factory

Types of slurry pump installation.

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

Despite the complexity of internal flow patterns, the overall performance of dredge pumps is predictable.

For pumping abrasive slurries, these types of pumps can also be made from specialised high-wear alloys. Hardened stainless steel is also a common choice for abrasive slurries.

Hydrostatic head - i.e. the height to which the slurry must be lifted in the piping system.

Although the focus of slurry pumps is often on the size and percentage of solids to be pumped, in many applications corrosion resistance is also an important factor in material selection. In such cases, the material chosen must provide adequate resistance to erosion and corrosion.
