How to Choose a Dredging Pump or Slurry Pump

A slurry is a mixture of fluids, which consists of a water-like liquid and particles. Typically, slurry acts in the same way as a viscous, sticky fluid - moving with gravity - but usually needs to be pumped.

Examples of these dubious enhancements to impeller adjustment abound in the industry. One of these is the adjustable wear ring or suction liner to maintain the recommended clearance between the impeller front shroud and the throat bushing face. Almost all >slurry pumps, including AIER® slurry pumps, have features to ensure that this equipment specification can be maintained over time.

Types of slurry pumps

Slurry pumps are usually larger than standard pumps, have more horsepower and use 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 pass through a standard centrifugal pump.

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.
