What is slurry pump?

What is slurry pump?- Slurry pump introduction:

A slurry pump is a type of centrifugal pump that is designed for liquid containing solid particle pumping from one point to another by rotating a slurry pump impeller. The design and construction in slurry pump is to match the capacity, working, transfer distance, particle pass ability, shape of solid particle, abrasive character of the solid, the corrosive of the slurry needs to be pumped, therefore, comparing with centrifugal water pump, centrifugal slurry pump is more robust in material design and replaceable wear ability due to the abrasion and corrosion of the liquid.

What is slurry pump?- Slurry pump types:

1. Slurry pump are separated with horizontal slurry pump, vertical slurry pump and submersible slurry pump according to installation way of the pump.

2. Slurry pump are also divided into metal slurry pump and rubber lined slurry pump, based on the material use of the slurry pump for different working environment.

3. Slurry pump are different in models before of the working head required of the pump, include DOH heavy duty slurry pump (exchangeable to Warman® AH slurry pump), DOHH high head slurry pump (replacement to Warman® HH slurry pump), DOL medium slurry pump (exchangeable to Warman® L slurry pump), DOS sand slurry pump (exchangeable to Warman® S sand slurry pump). 

What is slurry pump?- Slurry pump selection:

With different characters of the solid and different working environment, the selection of slurry pump is more complex comparing with centrifugal water pump, which is more involved with the concentration of the slurry, particle size of the solid, transfer distance of the slurry pumping, vertical head before pump central to pipe end, type of slurry pump installation, abrasive and corrosive characters of the slurry, slurry bearing ability comparing with the engine power etc.  

Slurry pump impeller rotating speed is also one factor needs to be considered to slurry pump selection, for example, with certain amount of slurry pump capacity and slurry pump head, 3/2C-AH Warman® slurry pump is rotating at speed 1480 RPM, whereas 4/3C-AH Warman® slurry pump is working at 980 RPM, therefore, in what is slurry pump? slurry pump selection section, China Slurry Pump Manufacturer Do® Pump with talk with slurry pump users for better discussion.

Therefore, in what is slurry pump?, slurry pump selection, China slurry pump manufacturer Do® Pump always consider capacity, head, solids handling capacity, slurry pump efficiency, slurry pump engine power, rotating speed and NPSH.

What is slurry pump?- Slurry pump application:

What is slurry pump? As slurry pump is a type of solid liquid piping centrifugal pump, the slurry pump are highly used in mineral processing system, including iron mineral processing, steel mineral processing, coal preparation, gold mineral processing, cooper mineral processing, more than that, slurry pump are also used for sand dredging, chemical processing, slurry dewatering, floating, booster pump station etc.

What is slurry pump?- Slurry pump parts:

What is slurry pump? Slurry pump main parts are slurry pump impeller, slurry pump volute liner, slurry pump throatbush, slurry pump frame plate liner, slurry pump frame plate, slurry pump cover plate, slurry pump shaft, slurry pump shaft sleeve etc. 

Slurry pump impeller

Slurry pump impeller is the slurry pump centrifugal force by rotating in order to pump the liquid, and the impeller is materialized with high chrome, elastomer, natural rubber.

Slurry pump parts impeller is also divided with open impeller and closed impeller, the impeller is also separated with different vanes.

Casing

Slurry pump parts casing is a split type, in another word, there are two casing to slurry pump, including slurry pump frame casing and slurry pump cover casing, which is covered with metal or rubber volute liner.

Shaft and Bearing Assembly

Slurry pump parts shaft and bearing assembly, comparing with centrifugal water pump, slurry pump is designed with stronger shaft and larger bearing assembly, with the reason, slurry pump is acting as heavy duty centrifugal slurry pump that is transferring liquid containing solid for mineral processing system. A larger shaft and heavy duty bearing assembly can help slurry pump stand higher horsepower to slurry pump operation.

Shaft Seal

Slurry pump shaft seal can be divided into Expeller seal, Packing seal, Mechanical seal.

Drive Type

Slurry pump can be driven with engine motor with V-belt drive, gear reducer drive, coupling drive, and frequency conversion drive devices.
