Flowserve M Hard Metal Slurry Pump

M Hard Metal, Overhung Abrasive Slurry Pump

The Flowserve M Hard Metal, Overhung Abrasive Slurry Pump is specifically engineered for the harshest slurry applications. Designed to handle abrasive and corrosive slurries with high solids content, it is the pump of choice for mining, ore processing, and sand slurries. Built with rugged hard metal components and replaceable wear parts, the M pump delivers a longer service life, reduced maintenance and high reliability even in the most demanding conditions.

The Flowserve type M hard metal slurry pump is a horizontal, single stage, end suction design with a tangential discharge nozzle. Fitted with a hard metal liquid end, the M pump is engineered to handle high concentrations of coarse, abrasive solids in suspension.

FAQs

Q: What is an abrasive slurry pump?

An abrasive slurry pump is designed to handle slurries with high concentrations of coarse solids, such as those found in mining and mineral processing.

Q: What makes the Flowserve M pump unique?

Unlike standard pumps, the Flowserve M features rugged metallurgy, replaceable wear parts, and a closed impeller design that reduces recirculation and wear.

Q: Can the M slurry pump handle acidic or corrosive liquids?

Yes. Its hard metal liquid end and optional material selections make it suitable for acid leaching and abrasive chemical processes.
