Pumps designed to pump slurries will be heavier than pumps designed for less viscous liquids because slurries are heavy and difficult to pump.

A slurry is any mixture of a fluid (such as water) and a powdery solid. Slurries are used as a convenient way to handle bulk solids in the mining, steel processing, foundry, power generation and, more recently, frac sand mining industries. Slurries typically behave like viscous viscous fluids, flowing under gravity, but can also be pumped as needed.

Capacity: 5-30000m3/h, Head: 5-120m. The company can produce different materials including High Chromium White Iron, Super High Chromium Hypereutectic White Iron, Low Carbon High Chromium Alloy, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Duplex Stainless Steel, Ductile Iron, Grey Iron, etc. We can also provide natural rubber, elastomer rubber parts and pumps.

A quench plan, as the name indicates, is designed to quench or cool the seal. It is normally used if short periods of dry running are expected. As illustrated bellow, the fluid is introduced into the area between the back of the seal faces and the close fit exit on the drive side of the pump.

If pump size and type are not defined, it is worth considering the following factors when selecting a dredge pump and dredge pump: type and thickness of material to be pumped, whether diesel or electric power is required, HP (kw) of engine required, pump performance data, durability, ease of maintenance and average life expectancy under normal operating conditions. life, all important attributes in the selection process. Equally important is matching the proper pipe size and composition to maintain proper material flow without clogging the pipe and to maintain the pumping output needed to get the job done.

Sites often rely on centrifugal pumps to provide slurry service. These pumps (and their associated piping systems) require special provisions that demand detailed knowledge of the properties of solids and slurries to prevent wear, corrosion, erosion and other adverse effects such as solids settling. Specifying the optimum combination of speed, geometry and material requires a proper balance of often conflicting pump priorities; this requires consideration of stable operation, maximum wear life, operational flexibility and minimum energy consumption.

Sealing lip

Oil seals come in a vast range of materials and compounds. Even older materials, such leather, are still used today. Nitrile is among the most common materials for oil seals but is slowly losing ground to PTFE, which is gaining popularity due to its effectiveness in high-speed applications.
