Submersible pumps offer many advantages over dry installation or even semi-submersible sump pumps. Submersible pumps are more flexible and efficient than alternatives.

Natural rubber is an excellent wear material when handling wet sand slurries. Its strength, resilience and cut resistance have a positive impact on the wear performance of slurry pumps.

Step 1

When pumping slurry in wet sand applications, we must evaluate the abrasive particles flowing through the piping and then assess how they affect the slurry pump. If the pump is lined with poor quality rubber, the particles will not rebound effectively and, as a result, the rubber will begin to break down. The air shavings then begin to accelerate and negatively impact the efficiency of the pump, often leading to turbulence.

Compared to standard centrifugal pumps, centrifugal pumps optimised for slurry pumping usually have the following features.
