How to Increase the Head of the Slurry Pump? Three Tips

As we all know, slurry pumps are an indispensable equipment in the ore dressing industry, and their main function is to provide power for pipeline transportation.

Due to unreasonable use of the slurry pump or blind choice, the flow rate and head of the pump cannot fully meet your actual needs. In fact, as long as we choose and use the slurry pump correctly and reasonably according to our situation, we can fully use the slurry pump efficiently. Below is a technician from Shijiazhuang Ship Pump Slurry Pump Industry Co., Ltd. briefly explains some ways to use slurry pumps to increase the flow head:

1. Choose a larger slurry pump

Many customers who often use slurry pumps generally respond to the selection of a larger pump. This is very beneficial to the stable working efficiency and service life of the slurry pump. The maximum flow head of the slurry pump that the slurry pump can withstand is greater.

2. Increase motor power

The kinetic energy of the slurry pump comes from the motor. The speed of the motor increases and the speed of the slurry pump increases. After the speed increases, the kinetic energy of the slurry pump increases, and the head will be higher after being shot out. However, it is necessary to undergo scientific testing before increasing the head. Blindly increasing it may reduce the applicable life of the slurry pump.

3. Increase the diameter of the impeller

The larger the diameter of the impeller of the slurry pump, the greater the force of the slurry body, so the head will become higher. However, the replacement of the impeller must be confirmed with the slurry pump manufacturer, otherwise it may reduce the service life of the slurry pump, and in severe cases, it will be damaged immediately!

The slurry pump itself is not cheap, so when we purchase, we must find a large slurry pump manufacturer to purchase slurry pumps. First, the large manufacturers are more formal, and they are more guaranteed in pump technology, design design, quality and price. Second, the maintenance and after-sales service are more formal and convenient. Avoid small manufacturers buying and selling in one go. After buying, they dont know how long it will break down. If it breaks, they can only buy it again. If I were asked to choose, I would rather buy a guaranteed slurry pump more expensive. After all, the purchase funds for slurry pumps are not a small amount, and it is worth anything in one step!
