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.

Selecting the right pump for slurries is critical to get the most bang for your buck. Basic pump components, such as the impeller size and design, material of construction, and discharge configurations must be considered to ensure the pump will hold up against the wear caused by an abrasive slurry. Slurry pumps are generally larger in size when compared to low-viscosity liquid pumps and usually require more horsepower to operate because they're less efficient. Bearings and shafts must be more rugged and rigid as well.

The mud pump is the motor driving the piston move through the link mechanism. Then causes the change of the volume of the sealed chamber of the mud pump. and the pressure difference between inside and outside of the pump change. Finally, the process of absorbing water and draining water is complete.

For certain types of slurry pumping conditions, positive displacement pumps may be a more suitable option than centrifugal pumps.
