Slurry pump manufacturer: A brief introduction to slurry pumps for you.


Slurry pumps are machines that use centrifugal force (the rotation of the pump impeller) to increase the energy of solid-liquid mixed media, converting electrical energy into the kinetic and potential energy of the media. They are mainly suitable for industries such as mining, power plants, dredging, metallurgy, chemical engineering, building materials, and petroleum. Slurry pumps transport mixtures of solid particles containing floating sludge and water. In principle, slurry pumps are a type of centrifugal pump, primarily used for transporting slurry in steel enterprises for converter dust removal water, blast furnace gas washing water, continuous casting turbid circulating water, and rolling mill turbid circulating water.

The slurry pump refers to a machine that uses centrifugal force (the rotation of the pump impeller) to increase the energy of solid-liquid mixed media and convert electrical energy into kinetic and potential energy of the media. It is mainly suitable for industries such as mining, power plants, dredging, metallurgy, chemical engineering, building materials, and petroleum. The slurry pump transports a mixture of solid particles containing floating sludge and water. In principle, the slurry pump is a type of centrifugal pump, mainly used for transporting slurry in steel enterprises for converter dust removal water, blast furnace gas washing water, continuous casting turbid circulating water, and rolling mill turbid circulating water.

The working principle of the slurry pump: Under the action of centrifugal force, the liquid is thrown from the center of the impeller to the outer edge and gains energy, leaving the outer edge of the impeller at high speed into the volute casing. Inside the volute casing, the liquid slows down due to the gradual expansion of the flow path, and part of its kinetic energy is converted into static pressure energy, flowing into the discharge pipe at a higher pressure. This is necessary. When the liquid flows from the center of the impeller to the outer edge, a certain vacuum is formed at the center of the impeller. Because the pressure above the liquid level in the tank is greater than that at the pump inlet, liquid is continuously pressed into the impeller.

The following checks should be performed when installing the slurry pump:

(1) The dimensions, position, and elevation of the foundation should meet design requirements; anchor bolts must be correctly and securely fixed to the concrete foundation; there should be no missing parts, damage, or rust on the machine;

(2) Check the materials of major components, shaft seals, and gaskets as necessary based on the characteristics of the medium transported by the slurry pump;

(3) The leveling and alignment work of the slurry pump should comply with equipment technical specifications. If there are no specifications, follow current national standards for "General Specifications for Construction and Acceptance of Mechanical Equipment Installation Projects";

(4) The installation of all pipelines and fittings connected to the slurry pump and cleaning requirements for lubrication oil pipelines should comply with relevant national standards.
