How to selecting a slurry pump for the mining plant?

  Slurry pumps are important for the mining industry. The mixed material with fluid and rock needed to carry from one area to another area to make sure the ideal working environment. Different with the water pump, avoiding the blockage is the core part of the slurry pump. So, how to choosing the suitable slurry pump is not a easy task for many mining plant.

  
  Before choosing the slurry pump, we should know what is slurry. Slurry is a kind mixed material of fluid(water, oil) and solid(rocks, stone, soil, etc). Because of the mixed material, the normal water pump can not finish the task to pump these material from this point to other areas.


 
  So, according to the feature of slurry and application of pump, these are some points should be noted when choosing the slurry pump:
  1. The inside diameter of pipe: Because of the fluid and solid mixed material, the blockage is the core feature need to concern. So, the ID of slurry pump pipe is bigger than the mixed material. The plant can design the pipe size according to their working condition.
  2. The frame: The casting material is ok for a slurry pump. The slurry pump will be used in the moist environment, the corrosion resistance is necessary. The feature will influence the service life of one slurry pump.
  3. Lift height: In the real application, the mixed material needed delivery from the mine well to the ground, so, the lift height is another point should consider when choose the slurry pump. There are different choice in the market as customers request.
 
  Except these points, there also have many feature to be noted, such as slip conditions,piping design, pressure drop requirements. So, having the clear request of your mine condition, you will choose the right slurry pump for sale in the market.
