Slurry Pumps for Efficient Transfer of Water-Solid Mixtures
Slurry pumps are essential for transferring mixtures of water and solids, serving industries such as mining, dredging, and construction. Unlike sludge, which has a higher concentration of solids and is dewatered for cost-efficient disposal, slurry contains a higher water ratio, allowing for smoother movement. Both centrifugal and positive displacement pumps are used in slurry transfer, with each type suited to different operational needs.
For handling abrasive slurry applications, centrifugal slurry pumps are ideal. These pumps are equipped with rubber or metal linings to protect the pump’s casing and internal components from wear. Rubber linings handle finer, less abrasive slurries, while metal linings are suited for coarse mixtures. Where precise flow rate control is necessary, positive displacement pumps offer efficiency in transferring thicker slurries.
North Ridge Pumps offers a diverse range of slurry handling solutions tailored to various industries. From power generation to rubber and plastics manufacturing, and railway applications, our pumps are designed to withstand demanding conditions while ensuring reliable and efficient slurry transfer.
