thick slurry pump

Sites often rely on centrifugal pumps to provide slurry service. These pumps (and their associated piping systems) require special provisions that demand detailed knowledge of the properties of solids and slurries to prevent wear, corrosion, erosion and other adverse effects such as solids settling. Specifying the optimum combination of speed, geometry and material requires a proper balance of often conflicting pump priorities; this requires consideration of stable operation, maximum wear life, operational flexibility and minimum energy consumption.

How much solids damage can the customer tolerate?

One of the most frequently asked questions from our team of pump experts is: How do I pump slurry? With this in mind, our team of experts have provided a useful guide to pumping slurry.

All manufacturers are consistently involved in product development in the long and short term. Customers should expect to benefit from these developments in a number of ways: increased efficiency, increased reliability, reduced operating costs, or a combination of both.

The slurry weight or consistency determines the type, design and capacity of the slurry pump required. If you have any questions about the best pump for your application, welcome to >contact us today or request a quote.
