What is a Slurry Pump

A slurry pump is a class of centrifugal or submersible pump designed for pumping liquid containing solid particles and which may also contain solvents, acids, alcohols, or petroleum.

Slurry pumps are subject to additional wear and are commonly more robust than other pumps. Slurry pumps can be electrically or hydraulically driven.

Slurry pumps can withstand extensive additional wear as they feature heavy duty construction adding a large impeller diameter, shafts, bearings, and internal dimensions.

Applications for Slurry Pumps

Slurry pumps are used in mining, drainage, agriculture, dredging and Industrial (mineral processing) applications.

Centrifugal Pump

Centrifugal pumps are used to transport fluids by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller, flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber (casing), from which it exits.

Common uses include water, sewage, agriculture, petroleum and petrochemical pumping. Centrifugal pumps are often chosen for their high flow rate capabilities, abrasive solution compatibility, mixing potential, as well as their relatively simple engineering.

KETO K-G

Capable of handling large particles at consistently high efficiency, resulting in lower costs. Casing is designed with a large volume internal profile to reduce associated velocities which prolong component life. Designed to pump extremely aggressive slurries with a wide particle distribution.

The KETO K-HS slurry horizontal pump range is engineered with the latest hydraulic and wear technologies to cope with the most severe corrosive and abrasive slurry applications. The pumps feature patented innovative designs that can significantly reduce the operational costs of slurry pumping.

K-L heavy-duty horizontal pumps have been developed for continuous use in slurry applications where low to medium developed head is required. The pumps are designed for lighter slurry densities up to 1,35.

KETO K-TC™ vortex pumps are designed for use where slurry particles are fragile and damaging them is detrimental to the process. The vortex created by the impeller transfers energy to the slurry without direct impact from the vanes on the particles. This allows particles to be pumped without damage.

Based on the K-HS™ design, but specifically designed for pumping froth. The innovative K-HSF™ Horizontal Froth pump design allows for froth and other products to be handled efficiently and without issues usually associated with pumping products with high viscosity.

The K-TVS series of pumps from KETO are cost-effective and versatile.

The K-VS heavy duty vertical sump pump is designed for handling abrasive and corrosive liquids and slurries, while submerged in sumps or pits. It is suited for applications that demand greater reliability and durability than conventional vertical process pumps can offer.

Submersible Pump

Tsurumi GPN Series

The GPN series is not only durable but offers longevity courtesy of a special-steel impeller and suction plate.

Tsurumi's GSZ series features a range of powerful high-volume pumps with a special-steel impeller and a 6-pole motor.

The HSD is easy to maintain and has been designed specifically for draining sand-carrying or silt laden water in general construction or similar works.

The NKZ series of high head sand pumps have a spiral pump casing and a shaft mounted agitator for smooth suction of slurry, mud or sand.

The KRDX-series is a submersible three-phase heavy-duty explosion-proof slurry pump driven by a 4-pole motor equipped with a high-chromium cast iron agitator that assists the smooth suction of the settled material

The KRS series belongs to Tsurumi's range of efficient submersible drainage pumps manufactured for general construction work. The pumps are available in 3 different ranges including the:

The WEDA sludge pumps can handle thick, soft, wet mud or other similarly viscous mixtures of liquids and solids, especially the product of an industrial or refining process.

The WEDA slurry pumps are the toughest, and have the largest apertures to facilitate handling of slurry with the most challenging solids.
