Light-duty Slurry Pump

Working principle

Traditionally, centrifugal pumps are used to pump highly abrasive slurries. Centrifugal pumps use the force generated by the rotating impeller to impinge kinetic energy into the slurry.

Metal and/or rubber pump bushings are used to combat the erosion of solid particles found in the slurry. Metal slurry pump housings are usually made of carbide to resist erosion caused by increased pressure and circulation. Sometimes wear-resistant steel is used on the pump casing so that the pump can be welded if repairs are needed.

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 , slurry pump, is a special type of pump capable of handling slurry. Unlike water pumps, slurry pumps are prone to wear and tear and are more robust and durable.
