Will solids size pass through the pump?

The size of slurry pump impeller must be considered to ensure it holds up against abrasive wear. Slurry pump impellers are generally larger in size when compared to slurry pumps for less abrasive liquids. The more “meat” the impeller has, the better it will hold up to the task of pumping harsh slurry mixtures. Just think of slurry pump impeller as a football team’s offensive line. These players are usually large and slow. Throughout the whole game they are beaten up, over and over again, but expected to withstand the abuse. You wouldn’t want small players in this position, just like you wouldn’t want a small impeller on your slurry pumps.

The main objective of all flush water programmes is to prevent contamination of the seals by pumped water.The flush water programme for boxes is therefore very similar to the flush water programme for mechanically sealed boxes. However there are still some obvious mechanical differences. The most notable difference is the addition of a seal (packing) between the inlet and outlet limits. This minimises the amount of flushing fluid consumed.

A typical pump solution for this application is to install a hard metal >slurry pump to withstand these types of conditions. Hard metal pumps need to be able to withstand the most severe abrasive slurry service and they also need to be designed to be extremely easy to maintain and safe.

Are the pump discharge components suitable for the slurry being pumped?

The solution is to choose a >heavy duty slurry pump and, just as importantly, to use a custom built unit with replaceable parts. At Aier Machinery, building your custom slurry pump is one of our areas of expertise. We design your slurry pump to your specifications and application.
