china 8-6 rubber slurry pump

Pumping slurry can be a challenging problem, but with the right instruction, pumping and maintenance plan, you will achieve operational success.

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.

What is Heavy Duty Slurry Pump?

>Dredge pumps are a special category of pumps used in the dredging process. Dredging is the process of transporting submerged sediments (usually sand, gravel or rock) from one area to another. Dredging takes place in the shallow waters of lakes, rivers or seas for land reclamation, dredging, flood control, new harbours or expansion of existing harbours. The various industries that use dredge pumps are therefore the construction industry, mining, the coal industry and the oil and gas industry.

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.
