Frequently Asked Questions

What is a centrifugal slurry pump?

A centrifugal slurry pump is a specialized pump designed to handle fluids containing suspended solids, abrasive particles, and slurries. These pumps use centrifugal force to move slurry mixtures with solids content up to 40%, making them essential for mining, chemical processing, steel manufacturing, and water treatment applications where conventional pumps would fail due to wear and clogging.

What type of pump is best for slurry?

Centrifugal slurry pumps are considered the best choice for slurry applications due to their robust construction, open impeller design, and ability to handle abrasive particles without clogging. Chemitek's slurry pumps feature reinforced construction in metallic and non-metallic materials, ANSI/ASME B73.1 compliance, and specialized coatings to resist wear and corrosion from abrasive slurries.

What is a main disadvantage of a centrifugal pump?

The main disadvantage of standard centrifugal pumps is their susceptibility to wear from abrasive particles and reduced efficiency with high-viscosity fluids. However, Chemitek's specialized slurry pumps overcome these limitations through investment-cast construction, wear-resistant materials like exotic alloys and premium fluoropolymers, and optimized hydraulic designs that maintain performance even with challenging slurry applications.

What are the 4 types of centrifugal pumps?

The four main types of centrifugal pumps are: 1) Radial flow pumps for high head applications, 2) Axial flow pumps for high volume/low head, 3) Mixed flow pumps combining radial and axial characteristics, and 4) Specialized process pumps for specific applications. Chemitek specializes in process centrifugal pumps with both metallic and non-metallic construction, designed specifically for handling corrosive chemicals and abrasive slurries in industrial applications.

What materials are best for centrifugal slurry pump construction?

The best materials for slurry pump construction depend on the application. For highly abrasive slurries, investment-cast exotic alloys like Hastelloy, Alloy20, and super duplex stainless steel provide superior wear resistance. For corrosive chemical slurries, premium fluoropolymers like PVDF, PFA, and FEP offer excellent chemical resistance. Chemitek offers both metallic and non-metallic construction options to match specific slurry characteristics.

How do I maintain a centrifugal slurry pump for optimal performance?

Proper maintenance includes regular inspection of wear parts, monitoring of mechanical seals, checking impeller clearances, and ensuring proper alignment. Chemitek provides comprehensive maintenance support including spare parts availability, preventive maintenance schedules, AMC contracts, and technical guidance to maximize pump life and performance in demanding slurry applications.
