Mechanical Seals

If you have experience pumping slurries, you know it's not an easy task. Slurries are heavy and difficult to pump. They cause excessive wear on pumps and their components and are known to clog suction and discharge lines if not moving fast enough. Most importantly, it’s a challenge to make slurry pumps last for a reasonable amount of time. But, there are a few things you can do to extend the life of your slurry pump and make pumping slurry less of a challenge.

Metal and/or rubber pump bushings are used to combat the erosion of solid particles found in the slurry. Metal slurry pump housings are usually made of carbide to resist erosion caused by increased pressure and circulation. Sometimes wear-resistant steel is used on the pump casing so that the pump can be welded if repairs are needed.

The impeller is considered the heart of the dredge pump and is similar to a fan that expels air and creates centrifugal suction. At the suction pipe, this vacuum absorbs the slurry and transports the material through the discharge line.

Typical Applications of slurry pump

However, there are also some drawbacks to air conditioners with a pipe. One limitation is that the length of the pipe can affect the efficiency of the unit. Longer pipes can decrease the airflow, which may reduce the cooling capacity of the air conditioner. Additionally, the need to expel hot air outside can be a challenge in some situations, such as in apartments or buildings with strict regulations on external modifications.
