steel mill slurry pump made in china

Pumping slurry can cause excessive wear and tear on the pump and its components as the mud can clog the suction and discharge lines.

Choosing the right slurry pump

The winch dredger is usually equipped with a hull-mounted dredge pump, which has an impeller centered at or below the draft line for further production and improved suction efficiency.

First, what is a slurry? A slurry is a semi-liquid mixture, usually consisting of fine particles. Examples of slurries can include manure, cement, starch, or coal suspended in water. There are countless other combinations that can be considered slurries. Because of the added particles and thicker consistency, special pump requirements should be considered. A standard pump may be able to handle the fluid, but not as effectively as a properly sized slurry pump.

- By increasing the size of the worm housing, the speed at which the media moves is reduced. This lower velocity translates into lower wear.

The solution is to choose a >heavy duty slurry pump and, just as importantly, to use a custom built unit with replaceable parts. At Aier Machinery, building your custom slurry pump is one of our areas of expertise. We design your slurry pump to your specifications and application.
