electric submersible slurry pump factory

WZ series slurry pumps are developed on the wide adaption of both home and abroad advance technology and many years of slurry pump design and field operation experiences.

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

Determine the operating parameters of the pump.

Consideration should be given to installing mixers on guide rods in the catch basin/tank to keep solids in suspension and avoid settling in the catch basin/tank. When investing in a slurry pump, you want to pump slurry that includes solids, not just dirty water. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the pump is doing this; by using an agitator, the pump is fed with solids and pumping the slurry.

The design of the slurry pump is critical to ensure that the abrasive and often corrosive aspects of the slurry do not damage the impeller. In addition, slurries and sludges may contain large amounts of unforeseen solids, which will inevitably clog many types of pumps. Since most centrifugal pump impellers have very tight tolerances on the worm gear, the abrasive (and sometimes corrosive) nature of the slurry will quickly wear down the worm gear and destroy the tolerances. In turn, this causes the pump to lose suction. This can lead to extensive downtime of the slurry pump, as well as expensive maintenance and spare parts.

Sites often rely on centrifugal pumps to provide slurry service. These pumps (and their associated piping systems) require special provisions that demand detailed knowledge of the properties of solids and slurries to prevent wear, corrosion, erosion and other adverse effects such as solids settling. Specifying the optimum combination of speed, geometry and material requires a proper balance of often conflicting pump priorities; this requires consideration of stable operation, maximum wear life, operational flexibility and minimum energy consumption.
