How to Choose Slurry Pumps?

Image
  Choosing the right  pump  for your slurry application can be a daunting task due to the balance of many factors including pressure, flow rate, abrasiveness, viscosity, particle size and particle type. There are several  types of pumps  suitable for  pumping slurries , but there are some important factors to consider before deciding which technology to use. You can follow these four simple steps to determine which type of slurry pump is best for your particular application. 1. Determine the Nature of the Material Being Pumped Consider the following. Size, shape and hardness of the particles (which affect the potential for wear and corrosion of the pump components), corrosiveness of the slurry. 2. Consider the pump components If it is a  centrifugal pump , is the design and material used to manufacture the impeller adequate to pump the slurry? What types of materials are used to manufacture the pump? Are the pump discharge components suitable for the slurry being pumped? What is the be

How does slurry pump work?

  Slurry pump A slurry pump  is a type of pump designed for pumping liquid containing solid particles. Slurry pumps  changes in design and construction to adjust to multiple type of slurry which varies in concentration of solids, size of solid particles, shape of solid particles, and composition of solution. Slurry pump s  are more robust than liquid pumps; they have added sacrificial material and replaceable wear parts to withstand wear due to abrasion. Centrifugal, positive displacement, and vortex pumps can be used for slurry. Centrifugal slurry pumps can have between bearing-supported shafts with split casing or rubber- or metal-lined casing. Configurations include horizontal, vertical suspended and submersible. Slurry is usually classified according to the concentration of solids. Engineering classification of slurry is more complex and involves concentration, particle size, shape and weight in order to determine abrasion severity. For engineering selection of slurry pumps, slurry
