10 Things to Consider When Buying Horizontal Slurry Pump

The unique design of the recessed rotor creates an Eddy Current as it spins inside the volute.   This method of displacing fluid via the uniquely designed recessed rotor creates a vortex (a circular current of fluid) at the pump inlet that assists with drawing the material to be pumped into the volute, exiting the pump discharge, and pumping the material downstream of the pump to the desired location.  The Eddy Current also keeps particles and solids maintained in suspension which is critical when pumping high viscous, solid-laden material.  The EDDY Pump's ability to pump concentrated solid matter is perfect for moving viscous materials with as much as 40-70% solids by volume; an impossible task for a lot of traditional pump types.  The EDDY Pump can also pass extremely large solids that are almost the size of the liquid inlet and liquid discharge of the pump; these results are beyond the scope of what most other traditional pumps can achieve.  

Low Cost of Ownership

An important factor when choosing the best pump for your application goes beyond whether or not the pump can meet the application requirements; there is also the subject of Cost of Ownership and how much it costs you to operate your pump over the course of the pump's lifetime.  Due to the EDDY Pump's ability to pump high viscous and high specific gravity materials with the volume of very high solid and extremely low water content, the cost to pump the material is drastically reduced.  The accruing cost of water that goes along with using pumps that require a high water content to move viscous materials dig very deep into your profits.

The EDDY Pump is made of the highest quality materials and is extremely rugged, abrasion resistant, chemically compatible with most fluids, and capable of withstanding a great deal of punishment that is typically inherent in abrasive, high viscosity, and high specific gravity, slurry applications.  For more information on the EDDY Heavy-Duty High Viscosity and High Specific Gravity pump go to https://eddypump.com/ or give us a call today!

Selecting the right Slurry Pump

Many pumps can be found on the market, but most are specifically designed to serve a particular purpose. Pumps designed to move thin fluids differ from pumps designed for heavy, thick-laden, abrasive, or abrasive materials. Because of the differences in the design of various pumps, you must choose the right pump for the application. For example, if you need to move much liquid quickly, you will want to select a pump with a high flow rate. However, if you are forcing a liquid with many solids, you want to use a pump. Pumps come in many different varieties, each designed for a specific purpose. For example, if you are trying to move water with much sand, you would want to use a centrifugal pump.

The slurry pump moves thick materials such as slurries and gravel. As the name suggests, a slurry is an amalgamation of two or more materials, such as water and crushed rock. Slurry pumps can move thick materials from their source to the pump and downstream to the destination. This is done using a high-pressure water stream to push the slurry through a pipe. The slurry is then forced through a series of valves and into the pump.

Because of their nature, slurry pumps can pump high-viscous and solid-laden liquids without clogging. Slurry pumps are distinguished by their ability not to choke. They can be used in extreme environments, such as mining and oil and gas extraction, and are also helpful in other sectors, including dredging and oil and gas. Dredging removes sediment and debris from the bottom of bodies of water and is often used to maintain shipping channels.
