Frequently asked questions

FAQs for slurry pumping systems

A slurry pump is a type of pump designed to handle liquids with high entrained solids content (i.e., slurries). They are more robust than standard pumps, featuring toughened casings and components and easily replaceable wear parts, which allow them to withstand the abrasive and corrosive nature of mining slurries.

Centrifugal pumps are generally best suited to slurry handling. These feature a rotating impeller, which generates a centrifugal force that moves the slurry through the pump. Centrifugal pumps can handle low- to medium-viscosity slurries and large volumes efficiently, making them ideal for mining applications.
