Slurry pump is a widely used equipment in
industries such as mines, power plants, water transportation, railways, and
construction. It is mainly used to transport corrosive, abrasive, viscous,
oily, and fibrous media containing solid particles, as well as corrosive liquids.
Introduction to Subdivision Types
|
Classified
by working principle
|
-
Positive displacement slurry pump:This
type of pump generates pressure through the reciprocating motion of a piston
or plunger to discharge mud. Its characteristic is stable flow rate, but
significant pressure fluctuations.
-
Rotary slurry pump:This
type of pump transports mud through the rotation of the impeller and has the
characteristics of a large flow rate and stable pressure. Common rotary slurry
pumps include centrifugal pumps and mixed flow pumps.

|
Classified
by structural characteristics
|
-
Single stage single suction slurry pump:This
type of pump only has one impeller, and the inlet and outlet are in the same
straight line. It has a simple structure and is suitable for small flow and
high-head situations.
-
Multi-stage multi-suction slurry pump:This
type of pump has multiple impellers, and each impeller has an independent
inlet and outlet, suitable for high flow and low head situations. In
addition, there is a distinction between vertical slurry pumps and horizontal
slurry pumps, mainly based on the installation method of the pumps.

Classified
by purpose
|
-
Engineering slurry
pump:mainly used for mud transportation and drainage
in construction, bridge, tunnel, and other engineering projects.
-
Slurry pump for
oil drilling:used for circulating mud
during the oil drilling process to maintain wellbore stability. This type of
pump has the characteristics of high pressure and a large flow rate.
-
Slurry pump for mining:used for drainage and mud transportation in
mines, requiring high wear resistance and reliability.
