Slurry pumps with rubber lining are the ideal pump for the mineral sand industry. They have a special rubber lining that makes them heavy duty pumps capable of withstanding high levels of abrasion.

Slurry pump power adjustment

There are many factors that should be considered when investing in a slurry pump. For example, it is important to consider the type of slurry, as the solids content of slurries can vary from 1% to 70%. It is also important to consider the level of wear and corrosion of the material being pumped; coal and some ores can corrode parts and damage your equipment fairly quickly, often beyond repair. This wear and tear can add significantly to operating costs, and you may eventually need to purchase new equipment to continue working.

When pumping slurry in wet sand applications, we must evaluate the abrasive particles flowing through the piping and then assess how they affect the slurry pump. If the pump is lined with poor quality rubber, the particles will not rebound effectively and, as a result, the rubber will begin to break down. The air shavings then begin to accelerate and negatively impact the efficiency of the pump, often leading to turbulence.

Other manufacturers looking for differentiation, if not the end result, may choose to add a small part to their pump assembly in the description, thus allowing in-line adjustment of the wear ring in the suction side lining assembly.
