Slurry pump design

With the standard flush schedule, the flow is usually adjusted by compressing the packings until a few drops of water are observed leaking from the seals on the drive side. In a quench schedule the flow rate is set by adjusting the inlet valve, while a valve is used on the exhaust side to maintain the correct seal tank pressure. If the outlet water from the seal box is too hot, the flow rate is increased until the outlet water cools, while still maintaining the correct seal box pressure.

Another way of classifying the type of slurry pump installation is dry installation or wet installation. Dry installation pumps have the hydraulic end and drive located outside the liquid, whereas wet installation pumps (such as submersible pumps) operate within a catch basin or slurry. Submersible pumps do not require much support structure and therefore do not take up much space. Depending on the type of operation and installation required, the preferred method of pump installation is determined.

1. The two types of pumps are all centrifugal pumps in the working principle. They are machines that increase the energy of solid and liquid mixtures by means of centrifugal force (the rotation of the impeller of the pump). A device that converts electrical energy into kinetic and potential energy of a medium.

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

Fewer and thicker vanes on the impeller. This makes it easier for solids to pass through than the 5-9 vanes on a standard centrifugal pump - typically 2-5 vanes.
