What is a Slurry Pump?

There are a number of different pump types used in the pumping of slurries.Positive displacement and special effect types such as venturi eductors are usedbut by far the most common type of slurry pump is the centrifugal pump. Thecentrifugal slurry pump utilizes the centrifugal force generated by a rotatingimpeller to impart kinetic energy to the slurry in the same manner as clear liquidtype centrifugal pumps.

Applications of a Slurry Pump

➢ Slurry pumps are used widely throughout the beneficiation section of the mining industry where most plants use wet separation systems.

➢ These systems usually move large volumes of slurry through the process.

➢ Slurry pumps are also widely used for the disposal of ash from fossil fuel power Plants.

➢ Other areas where slurry pumps are used include the manufactureof fertilizers, land reclamation, mining by dredges, and the long distancetransportation of coal and minerals.

Components of a Slurry Pump

Impeller

:: The impeller, either elastomer or high-chrome material, is the main rotating component which normally has vanes to impart the centrifugal force to the liquid.

Casing

:: Split outer casing halves of cast contain the wear liners and provide high operation pressure capabilities. The casing shape is generally of semi-volute or concentric, efficiencies of which are less than that of the volute type.

Shaft and Bearing Assembly

::A large diameter shaft with a short overhang minimizes deflection and vibration. Heavy-duty roller bearing are housed in a removable bearing cartridge.
