Typical Applications of slurry pump

A variety of factors must be considered to ensure a satisfactory service. Here are tips for choosing the right , pump, .xa0, In applications ranging from processing to wastewater treatment, plants often have to handle slurries. Handling this mixture of liquids and solids can be challenging and difficult. Some of the key factors in slurry pumping are the size and nature of the solids in the liquid and the type of wear they cause. Another is the corrosiveness of the liquid or mixture.

A slurry pump is a mechanical device used for the pressure-driven transfer of a fluid mixture (aka slurry). The fluid mixture consists largely of water as a liquid and solids as minerals, sand, gravel, human excrement, drilling mud or mostly crushed material.

Slurries are divided into two main categories: non-settling or settling. Non-settling slurries consist of very fine particles, giving the illusion of increased apparent viscosity. These slurries usually have low wear characteristics, but require very careful consideration when selecting the right pump, as they behave differently from ordinary liquids.

Our firm has strong technical force and is specially engaged in the research of abrasion resistant materials of slurry pumps, sewage pumps and water pumps and the development of new products. The materials include high chrome white iron, duplex stainless steel, stainless steel, ductile iron, rubber, etc.

If you have experience pumping slurry, you know it is not an easy task. Slurries are heavy and difficult to pump. They can cause excessive wear on the pump and its components, and if they don't move fast enough, they can clog the suction and discharge lines. Most importantly, it can be a challenge to keep a slurry pump in use for a reasonable period of time. However, there are steps you can take to extend the life of your slurry pump and reduce the challenges of pumping slurry.
