cutter suction dredge pump

WL Series Light-duty pumps are cantilevered, horizontal centrifugal slurry pumps. They are suitable for delivering low density slurries for metallurgical, mining, coal and building material departments. The shaft seal adopts both gland seal and centrifugal seal.

Metal and/or rubber pump bushings are used to combat the erosion of solid particles found in the slurry. Metal slurry pump housings are usually made of carbide to resist erosion caused by increased pressure and circulation. Sometimes wear-resistant steel is used on the pump casing so that the pump can be welded if repairs are needed.

Slurry Pump

Positive displacement slurry pumps with limited capacity to deliver high head are used to pump slurry through pipes with very high solids concentrations.

Horizontal pumps are the most commonly used type of slurry pump and therefore have the advantage of being easy to install or maintain, a wide range of flow parameters to choose from and a wide range of design materials to choose from. One of the advantages of vertical pumps, however, is the relatively small amount of floor space required for installation.

Find the best position that allows the pump to run as slowly as possible (to reduce wear) but fast enough to prevent solids from settling and clogging the piping.
