A slurry pump is a machine that uses centrifugal force—generated by the rotation of the impeller—to increase the energy of a solid–liquid mixture, thereby converting electrical energy into kinetic and potential energy of the fluid. It is primarily used in industries such as mining, power generation, dredging, metallurgy, chemical processing, building materials, and petroleum. Slurry pumps convey mixtures of solid particles suspended in water, often containing floating scum. In principle, however, a slurry pump is a type of centrifugal pump, mainly employed in steelmaking enterprises for the transport of sludge-laden effluents, including converter dust-collection water, blast-furnace gas-washing water, turbid circulating water from continuous casting, and turbid circulating water from rolling mills.

Working principle of a slurry pump: Under the action of centrifugal force, the liquid is flung from the impeller center toward the outer edge, gaining energy in the process, and then enters the volute casing at high velocity. Within the volute casing, the liquid decelerates as the flow passage gradually expands, with part of its kinetic energy being converted into static pressure energy. As a result, the liquid flows out through the discharge pipe at a higher pressure, which is essential for the system. Meanwhile, as the liquid moves from the impeller center toward the outer edge, a certain degree of vacuum is created at the impeller center. Since the pressure above the liquid surface in the storage tank is greater than the pressure at the pump inlet, the liquid is continuously forced into the impeller.
The following inspections shall be carried out when installing the slurry pump:
(1) The dimensions, location, and elevation of the foundation shall comply with the design requirements; anchor bolts must be properly installed and securely fastened to the concrete foundation; and the machinery shall be free from any missing parts, damage, or rust.
(2) Based on the characteristics of the slurry conveyed by the slurry pump, inspect the materials of the main components, shaft seals, and gaskets as necessary;
(3) The leveling and alignment of slurry pumps shall comply with the equipment’s technical specifications. Where no specific provisions are available, the current national standard “General Code for Construction and Acceptance of Mechanical Equipment Installation Projects” shall apply.
(4) The installation of all pipelines and pipe fittings connected to the slurry pump, as well as the cleaning requirements for the lubricating oil pipelines, shall comply with the relevant national standards.
