Flushing is defined as a fluid which is introduced into the seal cavity on the process fluid side, close to the seal face, and is normally used to cool and lubricate the seal face.

A slurry is any mixture of a fluid (such as water) and a powdery solid. Slurries are used as a convenient way to handle bulk solids in the mining, steel processing, foundry, power generation and, more recently, frac sand mining industries. Slurries typically behave like viscous viscous fluids, flowing under gravity, but can also be pumped as needed.

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.

We use CFD, CAD method for product design and process design based absorbing experience of world leading pump companies. We integrate molding, smelting, casting, heat treatment, machining and chemical analysis, and have professional engineering and technical personnel.

Slurry Pump

The terms slurry pump and dredge pump can be used interchangeably.
