Slurry Pumps

Slurry pumps are commonly found in mines where movement of mineral ores suspended in water are transferred or washed.  They are also found in waste water facilities & industry where abrasive fluids are used.

 

These pumps are often constructed from white irons or internally lined with elastomers to reduce wear caused from abrasion. They typically use impellers with a reduced number of vanes, large internal ports to prevent chokes & operate at lower speeds to reduce abrasion.
