china sand slurry pump

Step 2

- Smaller, more efficient tank - Because the motor is cooled by the surrounding liquid, the submersible slurry pump can be started up to 30 times per hour, resulting in a smaller, more efficient tank.

Auxiliary equipment

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.

From an operational point of view the stuffing box is different as it requires some leakage to ensure lubrication and to prevent heat build up. The mechanical seal box should be leak free.

Pumping slurry can cause excessive wear and tear on the pump and its components as the mud can clog the suction and discharge lines.
