Summary Of Reasons For Excessive Power Consumption Of Slurry Pumps

Summary of the reasons for excessive power consumption of slurry pumps  Slurry pumps are generally used in large-scale industrial applications. The actual products can be widely used in mining, electricity, metallurgy, coal and other industries for transporting slurries containing abrasive solid particles.Specifically, it is used in metallurgical ore dressing plants, hydro ash removal in thermal power plants, coal slurry and heavy media transmission in coal washing plants, etc.It can also be used in the chemical industry, and some corrosive slurries containing crystals can be transported, which requires a special material to be completed.The common application scope of slurry pumps is that in the mining industry, about 80% are used in mineral processing plants in the mining industry.The initial ore selection working conditions are relatively bad, and slurry pumps are mainly used as the conveying medium. Therefore, in this stage, the service life of slurry pumps is generally low.Facing different ores, the abrasive properties are different, so high chromium alloys are now used as the main slurry pump material.There are many materials for the slurry pump's overflow parts. The main operation process of the slurry pump is to drive the impeller to rotate at high speed and generate centrifugal force, and send the material out through the impeller.During operation, the overflow impeller volute must withstand the erosion, wear and corrosion of materials.Therefore, the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the slurry pump overflow parts is an important indicator for measuring the quality of the slurry pump.The slurry pump often has excessive power consumption during use. In response to this problem, the technicians of the slurry pump company summarized the following reasons: 1. The viscosity of the conveyed liquid becomes larger; 2. The speed of the slurry pump becomes higher; 3. The specific gravity of the conveyed liquid exceeds the original design value; 4. The size of the water pump impeller is too large; 5. The resistance of the pipeline system exceeds or is not enough to be sufficient to the predetermined value; 6. There is friction between the rotor parts and the stator parts; 7. The flow of the slurry pump is too large; 8. The pressure of the mechanical seal on the seal seat is too large, and the bearing is worn or damaged; 9. The head of the slurry pump is too low and the flow is too large; 10. There is friction between the rotor parts and the stator parts; In addition, such as the slurry pump balance device does not work, the thermal expansion of different parts in the slurry pump is uneven, etc. are also the reasons for excessive power consumption of the slurry pump.

Can mechanical seals be used in slurry pumps for easily crystallized ore pulp?
It is recommended to use: expeller + packing seal: the expeller generates centrifugal force to block particles from entering the sealing area, the packing seal is low-cost and resistant to a certain amount of crystallization (regular maintenance is required).
Pumps for Quartz Sand_Rubber-Lined Slurry Pumps in Quartz Sand Beneficiation Equipment
Quartz sand beneficiation focuses primarily on purification, a technically challenging separation process aimed at removing minor or trace impurities from quartz sand to produce refined quartz sand or high-purity quartz sand. Common purification techniques employed domestically and internationally include: Washing, Classification & Desliming, Scrubbing, Magnetic Separation, Flotation, Acid Leaching, and Microbial Leaching.
The Ultimate Guide to Slurry Pumps: Types and Applications
Selecting the right slurry pump ensures efficient performance, especially when dealing with high-volume and abrasive slurries. The ideal pump depends on the application, material compatibility, and operational demands.
Diagnosis Methods for Cavitation in Warman Slurry Pumps

The following techniques can be used to determine whether cavitation is occurring in a slurry pump:a. Ultrasonic testing b. External noise monitoring c. Vibration analysis
Horizontal Slurry Pumps: Principles & Application
Because they offer longevity, efficiency, and adaptability, horizontal slurry pumps are crucial for sectors handling abrasive slurries. Knowing their values, applications, and maintenance needs allows businesses to maximize performance and reduce expenses.
Commissioning of Slurry pumps
Slurry pump commissioning must be strictly conducted in accordance with established procedures: Prior to startup, first activate the shaft seal water and adjust it to the specified pressure. Fully open the inlet valve. For non-backflow pumps, water must be injected. After opening the outlet valve to one-quarter, initiate startup; During operation, monitor flow rate, head, current, vibration, and bearing temperature (temperature rise ≤35°C, maximum ≤75°C). Mechanical seal leakage should be ≤3-5 ml/h. Before stopping the pump, flush with clean water for 30 minutes, close the outlet valve first, then shut down the pump, and finally close the shaft seal water and inlet valve. It is strictly prohibited to fully open the outlet valve when stopping the pump to prevent water hammer. Throughout the entire trial operation process, ensure that parameters remain stable, avoid cavitation and overload conditions, to ensure safe operation of the equipment.
Common Problems During Feeding of Slurry Pumps
When a slurry pump malfunctions during operation, the first step is to identify the cause of the failure. Corresponding repair measures should be taken based on the characteristics of the failure and maintenance experience.
Aspects to Pay Attention to for Slurry Pumps to Run Stably and Efficiently in Series

The advantage of slurry pumps in series is that multiple pumps are arranged in one pump station, which is convenient for installation, maintenance, operation and management, with a total low cost, it can realize overall automatic management. The following aspects should be noted when selecting slurry pumps in series:
The Hazards to Slurry Pumps if Running in a Low Flow Area for a Long Time
The slurry pumps we often use are a type of centrifugal pump. It mainly drives the slurry mixture to rotate through the high-speed rotating impeller blades, and throws out the slurry to achieve the purpose of transportation.
The methods for adjustment the flowrate of slurry pumps
The flowrate adjustment method of slurry pump can be selected in various ways according to different needs and occasions. The following are some common flowrate adjustment methods:
