slurry pump impeller supplier

The design of the slurry pump is critical to ensure that the abrasive and often corrosive aspects of the slurry do not damage the impeller. In addition, slurries and sludges may contain large amounts of unforeseen solids, which will inevitably clog many types of pumps. Since most centrifugal pump impellers have very tight tolerances on the worm gear, the abrasive (and sometimes corrosive) nature of the slurry will quickly wear down the worm gear and destroy the tolerances. In turn, this causes the pump to lose suction. This can lead to extensive downtime of the slurry pump, as well as expensive maintenance and spare parts.

Determine the nature of the material to be pumped

Slurry pumps can also simply axially adjust the clearance between the impeller and the adjacent throat casing sealing surface. This helps to maintain pump performance when internal components begin to wear.

Ideal for slurry pumps - Only rubber lined pumps combine strength and corrosion resistance to create a quality slurry pump.

Types of slurry pump installation.

Critical to the engineering of the pump are heavy duty bearing frames and shafts, extra thick wall sections and easily replaceable wear parts. Total life cycle cost considerations are critical when specifying pumps for severe operating conditions, such as FGD service. High chrome pumps are ideal due to the corrosive pH of the slurry.
