A Detailed Guide on Submersible Slurry Pumps

Handling and moving slurries is one of the challenging situations for the industry. As the slurry is highly abrasive, corrosive, and thick solids, it can be tough for normal pumps to transfer it.


But if the right heavy-duty industrial pump is used, it can efficiently transfer tough slurries without any clogging and affecting pump performance.


This is the sheer reason why industries opt for Submersible Slurry Pumps. These pumps are powerful enough to handle abrasive, corrosive, and high-density materials.


Well, there is more than this Submersible Slurry Pump offers, and we are going to learn about all that below.

In this blog, we will understand Submersible Slurry Pump, its working, benefits, and applications.


What is a Slurry?

A slurry is a mixture of liquid combined with fine solid particles, for instance, cement, starch, manure, and coal suspended in water.


Slurries are generally thick, viscous fluids that are divided into two categories that are non-settling slurries and settling slurries.


Non-Settling Slurries –


This type of slurry consists of fine solid particles and has low wear properties. A highly efficient slurry pump is required to handle non-settling slurries as it doesn’t behave in the same way as a normal fluid does.


Settling Slurries –


This type of slurry consists of coarse particles and has high wear properties. Heavy-duty pumps with better flow control and power are needed to handle settling slurries.

Moreover, different types, sizes, and particle quantities altogether help determine the characteristics and flow properties of slurries.


Take a look below at some common characteristics of slurries:


➔ Highly Abrasive

➔ Thick Consistency

➔ Higher Concentration Of Solids

➔ Quick And Easy Settling

➔ Require More Power Consumption
