centrifugal slurry pump spare parts suppliers

With the standard flush schedule, the flow is usually adjusted by compressing the packings until a few drops of water are observed leaking from the seals on the drive side. In a quench schedule the flow rate is set by adjusting the inlet valve, while a valve is used on the exhaust side to maintain the correct seal tank pressure. If the outlet water from the seal box is too hot, the flow rate is increased until the outlet water cools, while still maintaining the correct seal box pressure.

A >dredge pump is a horizontal centrifugal pump that is the heart of a dredger. It is designed to handle suspended abrasive granular materials and solids of limited size. Without a dredge pump, a stranded dredger would not be able to deliver mud.

What we mean by slurry is basically a liquid containing solid particles. When you want to pump this slurry, there are different requirements than when pumping only dirty water. A waste water pump cannot handle the solid particles of a slurry. This is where slurry pumps come in handy. >Slurry pumps are heavy duty and robust versions of centrifugal pumps, capable of handling tough and abrasive tasks.

Sump drainage or washdown

The terms 'flushing' and 'quench' often seem to be confused or misused when discussing seal support schemes for >slurry pumps. As the concepts of a mechanical seal cartridge and a filled seal cartridge are slightly different, I will discuss them separately and in turn.
