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.

- Hydraulic efficiency is as important as the material, as efficiency is related to wear. The swept-back design of the impeller blades minimises the separation of solids from the carrying fluid, resulting in a more uniform flow. This results in a slower wear rate.

Hydrostatic head - i.e. the height to which the slurry must be lifted in the piping system.

In dry installation, the hydraulic end and drive unit are located outside the oil sump. When using a submersible slurry pump for dry installation, the slurry pump must always have a cooling system installed. Consider the design of the water tank in order to deliver slurry to the pump. Agitators and side-mounted agitators cannot be used for this type of installation.

A , slurry pump, is a special type of pump capable of handling slurry. Unlike water pumps, slurry pumps are prone to wear and tear and are more robust and durable.

Critical to the engineering of the pump are heavy duty bearing frames and shafts, extra thick wall sections and easily replaceable wear parts. Total life cycle cost considerations are critical when specifying pumps for severe operating conditions, such as FGD service. High chrome pumps are ideal due to the corrosive pH of the slurry.

To use the tape, simply stretch it around the material you are trying to repair. As you wrap the tape in a circular motion, it begins to seal and “fuse” itself to the material. The most common forms of self-fusing / self-amalgamating tapes are made of silicone rubber (though other types also exist). They are designed to create a strong, seamless, rubbery, waterproof, and electrically insulating layer.

The application process of Flex Tape is straightforward, adding to its appeal. To use, simply cut the desired length, peel off the backing, and press it firmly onto the surface needing repair. It’s advisable to clean the area to ensure maximum adhesion. Once applied, Flex Tape immediately begins to bond, and in most cases, further reinforcement is not necessary. This ease of use makes it accessible for individuals without extensive DIY experience while still appealing to seasoned professionals.

Actuators simply receive and interpret your commands, which are delivered by the control interface thereby initiating mechanical action. Simply put, they alter the functioning of your connected devices as per the provided command. Your control box may come with either of the following actuators:
