Slurry Pump

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.

The size of slurry pump impeller must be considered to ensure it holds up against abrasive wear. Slurry pump impellers are generally larger in size when compared to slurry pumps for less abrasive liquids. The more “meat” the impeller has, the better it will hold up to the task of pumping harsh slurry mixtures. Just think of slurry pump impeller as a football team’s offensive line. These players are usually large and slow. Throughout the whole game they are beaten up, over and over again, but expected to withstand the abuse. You wouldn’t want small players in this position, just like you wouldn’t want a small impeller on your slurry pumps.

Choosing the right material for a slurry pump is another key process in determining the right pump for handling slurry. If the slurry is highly abrasive with neutral pH, then the best material of construction is Hi-Chrome. this metallurgy has the highest Brinell hardness and can withstand the abrasiveness of the slurry.

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.
