Slurry Pump

-When pumping abrasive slurries, it is essential to use wear-resistant components with a high chromium content. But more is not always better - above 25%, the impeller becomes brittle.

Applications of Rubber Lined Slurry Pumps

It is critical to determine the right slurry pump size and power requirements for your application. Depending on the abrasive nature of the slurry, it is important to select a pump size that will allow it to run at a slow enough speed to extend the life of the slurry pump. The ideal RPM to run a slurry pump is between 900 and 1200 RPM. Once that speed is started to be exceeded, the life of the pump is greatly reduced because the wear points of the slurry pump are actually sandblasted.

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

Hydrostatic head - i.e. the height to which the slurry must be lifted in the piping system.
