As wear is a function of speed, slurry pumps should be operated at the lowest possible speed; units typically run at 1,200 rpm or less. Often, direct coupling between the pump and a low-speed motor or other drive makes the most sense. On the other hand, many other applications favour gearboxes to meet the required speed and operating point. In services where variable flow rates are required, variable frequency drives are used to provide the necessary continuous speed variation.

In harsh conditions with sand, sludge, rocks and mud, ordinary slurry pumps tend to clog, wear and fail frequently. But WA heavy duty slurry pumps are highly resistant to wear and corrosion, which means that the service life of our slurry pumps is better than other manufacturers' pumps.

Examples of these dubious enhancements to impeller adjustment abound in the industry. One of these is the adjustable wear ring or suction liner to maintain the recommended clearance between the impeller front shroud and the throat bushing face. Almost all >slurry pumps, including AIER® slurry pumps, have features to ensure that this equipment specification can be maintained over time.
