Product Description

The Horizontal Slurry Pump is a heavy-duty centrifugal pump designed for abrasive and high-density slurry transport in mining, mineral processing, and industrial applications. Its hardened high-chrome alloy or rubber-lined wetted parts provide exceptional wear resistance, while the large passageway impeller handles solids without clogging. The pump delivers flow rates from 10 to 1,200 m³/h at heads to 80 m and temperatures from -20°C to +120°C, with heavy-duty shaft seals and bearing assemblies. Suitable for tailings, mineral concentrate, coal slurry, and abrasive industrial waste transport.

Applications

The Horizontal Slurry Pump is designed for abrasive and high-density slurry transport in mining, mineral processing, and heavy industrial applications. It handles coarse particles, high solids concentration, and corrosive slurries with reliable performance and long wear life.

  • Mining and mineral processing (copper, gold, iron ore)
  • Coal preparation and tailings handling
  • Dredging and sand & gravel pumping
  • Cement and ash handling
  • Chemical slurry transfer (fly ash, lime slurry)

Quality Assurance

Every horizontal slurry pump undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure wear resistance and reliability:

  • Hydraulic performance test at multiple operating points
  • Impeller and liner hardness testing (Brinell/Rockwell)
  • Casing hydrostatic pressure test at 1.5× rated pressure
  • Material certification for all wetted parts
  • Final vibration and alignment inspection

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum solids concentration for a horizontal slurry pump?

Most horizontal slurry pumps handle up to 60-65% solids by weight. The exact limit depends on particle size, shape, slurry density, and pump speed. Larger pumps with larger impeller passages can handle higher concentrations.

Which material is best for abrasive slurry?

High chrome alloy (27% Cr) is standard for heavy abrasive service. For corrosive slurries, rubber-lined or polyurethane-lined pumps are preferred. The choice depends on both abrasion and corrosion conditions.

What is the typical wear life of a slurry pump impeller?

Impeller wear life varies widely: 3-6 months for severe abrasive duty, 6-12 months for normal service, and 12+ months for light duty. Regular monitoring of performance and vibration helps predict replacement timing.

Can slurry pumps handle corrosive chemicals?

Yes, with the right material selection. High chrome alloys handle mild corrosion, while rubber-lined and polyurethane-lined pumps excel in acidic or alkaline slurries. Material compatibility must be verified for each specific application.

Selection Guide

✅ When to Choose This Pump

  • Mining tailings and mineral processing
  • Sewage and wastewater with solids
  • Ash handling and flue gas desulfurization
  • Dredging and sand pumping

⚠️ When NOT to Choose

  • Clear chemical solutions (use chemical pump)
  • High-purity applications
  • Low-flow high-pressure metering
  • Food-grade hygienic service

💡 Common Selection Mistakes

  • Using standard materials for abrasive slurry
  • Running at too high speed (accelerates wear)
  • Not specifying expeller seal correctly
  • Ignoring particle size and concentration
