How To Choosing A Slurry Pump

1. PUMP SUPPLIES CHOOSING A SLURRY PUMP TO ENSURE YOUR PUMP IS SUITABLE, CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING ATTRIBUTES: Impeller: the impeller should have large enough passageways so that the solid particles, no matter their size, can pass through without clogging. Casing: The casing of the pump, which handles the pressure, should have larger gaps between the impeller and the cut water tongue, to reduce wear and prevent large solid particles from getting stuck. THESE TWO ELEMENTS, WHEN COMBINED WITH THE OTHER COMPONENTS, HAVE CRUCIAL ROLES IN THE OPERATIONAL SUCCESS OF THE PUMP MOVING THE SLURRY. IF THESE PARTS ARE NOT APPROPRIATE YOU MAY BE SPENDING MONEY ON MAINTENANCE AND CAUSING LONGER DOWNTIME. MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION Metal and/or rubber pump liners that are used will combat the erosion from the solid particles. Metal casing will resist erosion caused by the increased pressure and circulation. In some circumstances, the casing will be manufactured from wear-resistant steel, so that the pump can be welded if in need of repair. Depending on the application, variations in these materials may occur. For example, if you work in the cement industry, and mainly handle fine particles at low pressure, the casing of your slurry pump may be constructed from a lighter material. Whilst in rock pumping, the pump casing and impeller must resist the hard knocks. WWW.PUMPSUPPLIES.CO.UK
