Slurry Pumps: Perfect For Heavy-wearing And Heavy-duty Applications
Pumps that are used in places where the flow of fluid includes abrasives particles or slag need pumps that can withstand such interruptions. These pumps are nothing but centrifugal pumps with materials that can control erosion to it and the parts fitted are easily replaceable. A slurry pump is majorly used in places where abrasives are highly present during the transfer of fluid, places like mines, petroleum industries sewage treatment plants, etc. Most of these pumps are fixed units and used as a long term machine. Therefore, it heavily relies on the easy replacement of parts during damage. A slurry pump works similar to a centrifugal pump but just with the addition of damage-resistant materials. A slurry pump houses a motor that power the pump shaft using electrical energy which causes the pump impeller to rotate. As the fluid flows in axially into the impeller, it causes the impeller to have a tangentially and radial effect on the flow of the fluid. The fluid is thrust ou
