A slurry is a mixture of solids and liquids, and they’re vital to a huge range of industries, from mining to construction to wastewater management. Efficient operations in these fields depend on proper slurry handling.
But pumping slurries is far more complicated than pumping ordinary liquids. Slurries are more abrasive, more viscous, and contain solid particles, which means they require more energy to move. The density, abrasiveness, and potential for settling make pumping slurries a real challenge.
This guide will give you a complete overview of slurry pumps, including the different types, how to select the right one for your needs, and the best practices for maintenance. We’ll help you understand the ins and outs of pumping slurries so you can optimize your operations.
