Slurries are divided into two main categories: non-settling or settling. Non-settling slurries consist of very fine particles, giving the illusion of increased apparent viscosity. These slurries usually have low wear characteristics, but require very careful consideration when selecting the right pump, as they behave differently from ordinary liquids.

The basic mechanical seal flushing programme is very simple. It requires that a clear/clean fluid (usually water) is introduced into the space between the actual seal and the impeller side outlet restriction. The flushing fluid is introduced at a pressure higher than the pumping pressure, thus ensuring positive outflow/flushing of the mechanical seal and a clean operating environment.

It is often used if a short period of dry running is expected. Fluid is introduced into the area between the back of the seal face and the tight-fitting outlet on the drive side of the slurry pump.

A dredge pump contains a pump casing and an impeller. The impeller is mounted in the pump casing and connected to the drive motor via a gearbox and shaft. The front part of the pump casing is sealed with a suction cover and connected directly to the suction pipe of the dredger. The discharge port of the dredge pump is located near the top of the dredge pump and is connected to a separate discharge line.

- Portable and low maintenance - There are no long or exposed mechanical shafts between the motor and worm gear, which makes the submersible pump more portable. In addition, because there are no long or exposed mechanical connections between the motor and worm gear, less maintenance is required and operating costs are significantly lower.
