Slurry Pump

Pumping slurry can present some challenges and problems, but with proper engineering and equipment selection, you can experience years of trouble-free operation. It's important to work with a qualified engineer when selecting a slurry pump, because slurry can wreak havoc on a pump if not selected properly.

- Smaller, more efficient tank - Because the motor is cooled by the surrounding liquid, the submersible slurry pump can be started up to 30 times per hour, resulting in a smaller, more efficient tank.

A typical pump solution for this application is to install a hard metal >slurry pump to withstand these types of conditions. Hard metal pumps need to be able to withstand the most severe abrasive slurry service and they also need to be designed to be extremely easy to maintain and safe.

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.

-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.
