wastewater treatment centrifugal pump supplier

>Slurry pumps are typically larger than standard pumps, with more horsepower and stronger bearings and shafts. The most common type of slurry pump is the centrifugal pump. These pumps use a rotating impeller to move the slurry, similar to the way aqueous liquids move through a standard centrifugal pump.

First, what is a slurry? A slurry is a semi-liquid mixture, usually consisting of fine particles. Examples of slurries can include manure, cement, starch, or coal suspended in water. There are countless other combinations that can be considered slurries. Because of the added particles and thicker consistency, special pump requirements should be considered. A standard pump may be able to handle the fluid, but not as effectively as a properly sized slurry pump.

The terms 'flushing' and 'quench' often seem to be confused or misused when discussing seal support schemes for >slurry pumps. As the concepts of a mechanical seal cartridge and a filled seal cartridge are slightly different, I will discuss them separately and in turn.

-When pumping abrasive slurries, it is essential to use wear-resistant components with a high chromium content. But more is not always better - above 25%, the impeller becomes brittle.

Adapting a pump to its precise application - be it pulp and paper, gas and oil, mining or industrial applications - will have a direct impact on its service life. That's why our bespoke pumps have the unique advantage of interchangeable components. These components include slurry valves, which can be replaced every 6 months as a preventive measure and every 12 months for regular maintenance, depending on the application.
