Slurry pumps/centrifugal pumps,horizontal pumps

A Slurry Pump is a type of Centrifugal Pump, through centrifugal force (a rotating impeller) and converts electrical energy into slurry potential and kinetic energy.

Slurry pumps are widely used in transport of corrosive/abrasive and high concentration slurry in many industries such as gold, silver, iron ore, tin, steel, coal, titanium, copper, mineral sands, Lead and zinc. They are often designed to be suitable for heavy-wearing and heavy-duty uses.[1] Various other industries include Molybdenum, Electric Utilities, Oil Shale, Water & Sewage Utilities, Building areas, Sand & Gravel, Tobacco and Agriculture (hog, poultry, dairy manure) and are grouped by:

• impeller quantity: single stage and multistage slurry pump
• shaft position from the horizontal: horizontal and Vertical Slurry Pump
• impeller suction way: single suction and double suction slurry pump
• pump casing structure: solid casing, horizontal split-case, and vertical split-case slurry pump

The parameters determined before selecting an appropriate slurry pump include capacity, head, solids handling capacity, efficiency and power, speed and NPSH
