The impeller is considered the heart of the dredge pump and is similar to a fan that expels air and creates centrifugal suction. At the suction pipe, this vacuum absorbs the slurry and transports the material through the discharge line.

If a centrifugal pump, is the design and material used to construct the impeller suitable for pumping slurries?

Applications

What is a slurry pump?

As wear is a function of speed, slurry pumps should be operated at the lowest possible speed; units typically run at 1,200 rpm or less. Often, direct coupling between the pump and a low-speed motor or other drive makes the most sense. On the other hand, many other applications favour gearboxes to meet the required speed and operating point. In services where variable flow rates are required, variable frequency drives are used to provide the necessary continuous speed variation.

Application of Slimline Aluminium Profiles

The drawback to this window is that it’s restricted by size. Most side-hung types of aluminium windows are only around 600mm wide, with a handful of products slightly wider. They’re also frequently restricted in height.

By the time you reach the end of this guide you’ll feel confident in your understanding of why wrought iron fences stand a cut above aluminum – and many other types of fencing for that matter. 

In artistic contexts, wrought iron often symbolizes strength and elegance, embodying the will of the artisans who shape it. When artists incorporate wrought iron into their works, they are not only showcasing their skills but also making a statement about endurance. The struggle against rust parallels the artist's journey—facing challenges but prevailing through perseverance and dedication.

They are used for structural purposes in different construction, architectural and industrial settings.
