Slurry Pump

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.

If a centrifugal pump, is the design and material used to construct the impeller suitable for pumping slurries?

How does a dredge pump work?

3.Basic pump components such as impeller size and design, materials of construction and discharge configuration must be considered to ensure that the pump can withstand the wear and tear caused by abrasive slurries. Slurry pumps are typically larger in size compared to low viscosity liquid pumps and often require more horsepower to operate due to their lower efficiency. Bearings and shafts must also be more robust and durable.

Process speed doesn’t have anything to do with choosing slurry pump impeller, but it does have an effect on the life of slurry pump impeller. It is important to find the sweet spot that allows the slurry pump to run as slow as possible, but fast enough to keep solids from settling and clogging. If pumping too fast, the slurry can quickly erode the impeller due to its abrasive nature. This is why it is important to select a larger impeller if possible.
