wn dredge pump manufacturers

Centrifugal slurry pumps capable of providing high capacity with a limited head are mainly used for pumping slurry through pipes with a concentration of less than 70% by weight of solids. Centrifugal slurry pumps can be vertical, horizontal or submersible.

Step 1

Natural rubber is an excellent wear material when handling wet sand slurries. Its strength, resilience and cut resistance have a positive impact on the wear performance of slurry pumps.

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.

Depending on your own requirements, propeller seals, mechanical seals or packing seals can be used.

Other manufacturers looking for differentiation, if not the end result, may choose to add a small part to their pump assembly in the description, thus allowing in-line adjustment of the wear ring in the suction side lining assembly.
