single stage vertical slurry pump

Slurry pump construction materials

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.

The main objective of all flush water programmes is to prevent contamination of the seals by pumped water.The flush water programme for boxes is therefore very similar to the flush water programme for mechanically sealed boxes. However there are still some obvious mechanical differences. The most notable difference is the addition of a seal (packing) between the inlet and outlet limits. This minimises the amount of flushing fluid consumed.

Find the best position that allows the pump to run as slowly as possible (to reduce wear) but fast enough to prevent solids from settling and clogging the piping.

The Mud pumps need to be equipped with auxiliary equipment, but slurry pumps not. They often need to use with high-pressure water pump when mud pump working. The high-pressure pump sent the water that larger than the mud pump pressure to the leakproof packing. Then protect the packing. Otherwise, it is easy to make the seal part wear. But the wear-resistant slurry pumps can complete the transportation work independently, which not need to equip other auxiliary equipment.
