Slurry Pump selection

Critical to the engineering of the pump are heavy duty bearing frames and shafts, extra thick wall sections and easily replaceable wear parts. Total life cycle cost considerations are critical when specifying pumps for severe operating conditions, such as FGD service. High chrome pumps are ideal due to the corrosive pH of the slurry.

From an operational point of view the stuffing box is different as it requires some leakage to ensure lubrication and to prevent heat build up. The mechanical seal box should be leak free.

I hope this short blog has helped to clear up some of the confusion about the seal flush programme. Please always refer to the pump manual for specific details. If there are still questions, welcome to >contact us today.

The size and nature of the solids in the liquid: The size and nature will affect the amount of physical wear on the pump and its components, and whether the solids will pass through the pump without being damaged.

There are many factors that should be considered when investing in a slurry pump. For example, it is important to consider the type of slurry, as the solids content of slurries can vary from 1% to 70%. It is also important to consider the level of wear and corrosion of the material being pumped; coal and some ores can corrode parts and damage your equipment fairly quickly, often beyond repair. This wear and tear can add significantly to operating costs, and you may eventually need to purchase new equipment to continue working.
