screw pump for slurry factories

When flushing is required, the >slurry pump supplier recommends the API Option 32 sealed pipe arrangement as it is more suitable for services containing solids or contaminants that could damage the seal faces if recirculated in the flushing medium.

The size and nature of the solids in the liquid: The size and nature will affect the amount of physical wear on the pump and its components, and whether the solids will pass through the pump without being damaged.

From an operational point of view the stuffing box is different as it requires some leakage to ensure lubrication and to prevent heat build up. The mechanical seal box should be leak free.

What is a slurry pump?

The Mud pumps need to be equipped with auxiliary equipment, but slurry pumps not. They often need to use with high-pressure water pump when mud pump working. The high-pressure pump sent the water that larger than the mud pump pressure to the leakproof packing. Then protect the packing. Otherwise, it is easy to make the seal part wear. But the wear-resistant slurry pumps can complete the transportation work independently, which not need to equip other auxiliary equipment.

It is important that the pump you choose has components that will not wear out from abrasive slurries.
