Dry Installation

Step 4

To reduce component wear, most centrifugal slurry pumps run at fairly low speeds - typically less than 1200 rpm. Find the optimum position that allows the pump to run as slowly as possible but fast enough to prevent solids from settling out of the slurry deposit and clogging the lines.

Will solids size pass through the pump?

Slurry Pump

Another important target=_blank title=Part of the Slurry Pump>part of the slurry pump is its casing, which bears all the pressure. The slurry pump casing should have a large clearance between the impeller and the diversion angle to reduce wear and prevent large solid particles from getting stuck. Due to the extra space, there is more recirculation in the slurry pump casing under various operating conditions. Again, this accelerates wear compared to typical pumps.
