metal liner slurry pump manufacturer

The winch dredger is usually equipped with a hull-mounted dredge pump, which has an impeller centered at or below the draft line for further production and improved suction efficiency.

Positive displacement slurry pumps with limited capacity to deliver high head are used to pump slurry through pipes with very high solids concentrations.

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.

Choosing the right pump for your slurry is critical to getting the most out of it. Basic pump components such as impeller size and design, materials of construction and discharge configuration must be considered to ensure that the pump can withstand the wear caused by abrasive slurries. Compared to low-viscosity liquid pumps, target=_blank title=Slurry Pump>slurry pumps are typically larger and often require more horsepower to operate because they are less efficient. Bearings and shafts must also be more robust and durable.

Repairable - target=_blank title=Rubber Lined Slurry Pumps>Rubber lined slurry pumps can be repaired by simply replacing the bushing.

Slurry pumps with rubber lining are the ideal pump for the mineral sand industry. They have a special rubber lining that makes them heavy duty pumps capable of withstanding high levels of abrasion.
