The design of the slurry pump is critical to ensure that the abrasive and often corrosive aspects of the slurry do not damage the impeller. In addition, slurries and sludges may contain large amounts of unforeseen solids, which will inevitably clog many types of pumps. Since most centrifugal pump impellers have very tight tolerances on the worm gear, the abrasive (and sometimes corrosive) nature of the slurry will quickly wear down the worm gear and destroy the tolerances. In turn, this causes the pump to lose suction. This can lead to extensive downtime of the slurry pump, as well as expensive maintenance and spare parts.

Pumping slurry can present some challenges and problems, but with proper engineering and equipment selection, you can experience years of trouble-free operation. It's important to work with a qualified engineer when selecting a slurry pump, because slurry can wreak havoc on a pump if not selected properly.

Settling slurries are formed from coarse particles; they are formed from unstable mixtures. It is these settling slurries with coarse particles.

What is a slurry pump?

Some quench seals are planned to replace the tight fitting outlet restriction with a secondary seal and a top outlet that can be piped to capture the used quench fluid and drain it from the rotating assembly. However the principle is the same, we try to cool the seal rather than flush it in any way.
