Slurry Pump

Slurry Pump

Because of these requirements, slurry pumps are usually larger than their clear liquid counterparts. In addition, it usually sacrifices efficiency, i.e. maximum efficiency and efficiency throughout its operating range, in exchange for the ability to achieve good operation in these challenging services.

It is critical to determine the right slurry pump size and power requirements for your application. Depending on the abrasive nature of the slurry, it is important to select a pump size that will allow it to run at a slow enough speed to extend the life of the slurry pump. The ideal RPM to run a slurry pump is between 900 and 1200 RPM. Once that speed is started to be exceeded, the life of the pump is greatly reduced because the wear points of the slurry pump are actually sandblasted.

Are the pump discharge components suitable for the slurry being pumped?

As described below, there are several , types of pumps, that are suitable for pumping slurries. However, before considering which technology to use, we must address several key issues.
