seal for 5 inch dredge pump

Adapting a pump to its precise application - be it pulp and paper, gas and oil, mining or industrial applications - will have a direct impact on its service life. That's why our bespoke pumps have the unique advantage of interchangeable components. These components include slurry valves, which can be replaced every 6 months as a preventive measure and every 12 months for regular maintenance, depending on the application.

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.

Fewer and thicker vanes on the impeller. This makes it easier for solids to pass through than the 5-9 vanes on a standard centrifugal pump - typically 2-5 vanes.

Determine the perfect combination of slow pumping (to reduce wear) and fast pumping to prevent solids from settling and clogging.
