high quality self priming slurry pump suppliers

The first major requirement for >slurry pumps is to provide adequate service life. The erosive and corrosive effects of slurries, such as the impact of high velocity flow of liquid/solid mixtures, can be really challenging. In many applications, some of the solids in the mixture are larger than the particles normally specified; therefore, the pump should be able to pass through them without causing any damage or operational problems.

Low slurry flow rates

Step 2

The design of the slurry pump is critical to ensure that the abrasive and often corrosive aspects of the slurry do not damage the impeller. In addition, slurries and sludges may contain large amounts of unforeseen solids, which will inevitably clog many types of pumps. Since most centrifugal pump impellers have very tight tolerances on the worm gear, the abrasive (and sometimes corrosive) nature of the slurry will quickly wear down the worm gear and destroy the tolerances. In turn, this causes the pump to lose suction. This can lead to extensive downtime of the slurry pump, as well as expensive maintenance and spare parts.

Ideal for slurry pumps - Only rubber lined pumps combine strength and corrosion resistance to create a quality slurry pump.

Damage to slurry pumps can range from burst seals to bearings and component housings wearing out where they join, to impellers corroding due to cavitation or severe wear and so on. However, there are solutions to these problems.
