Vertical Slurry Pump Vs Horizontal Slurry Pump

Slurry pump is a kind of centrifugal pump used to transport the mixture of water and solid particles, such as slurry, mineral sand, mud, etc. Slurry pump can be divided into vertical slurry pump and horizontal slurry pump. This article talks about the characteristics, differences, advantages and disadvantages of vertical slurry pump and horizontal slurry pump.

Horizontal slurry pump

Horizontal slurry pump adopts mechanical seal, most of the parts can be interchangeable, increasing the service life. Simple operation, easy maintenance; in addition, horizontal slurry pump operation noise is low, small vibration; durable, long service life, spacious flow channel, good corrosion resistance.

Principle

Horizontal slurry pump is driven by the motor, conveyed by the v-belt pulley, and the impeller below the rigid shaft is adjusted to rotate clockwise. The slurry enters the pump chamber through the inlet and the slurry is output under the action of the impeller.

Applications

It is used for conveying slurry or other heavy medium liquid agglomerate with slurry concentration up to 50%. It is an indispensable equipment for conveying ore, powder sand and ash in metallurgy, mining, coal, construction and other sectors. It is mainly used for conveying concentrate slurry and discharging tailings in mineral processing plant. It can also be used for conveying medium in coal beneficiation plant, conveying high temperature crystallized slurry in aluminum plant and conveying slurry in cement plant.

Vertical slurry pump

Features

Vertical slurry pump adopts auxiliary impeller to reduce impeller back pressure and prolong seal life. Meanwhile, the over-flow part adopts white wear-resistant cast iron, which is wear-resistant. The overflow parts and lining of the pump are made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant rubber for longer service life. In addition, the vertical slurry pump has the features of light weight and easy installation.

Principle

The vertical slurry pump consists of the pump body, bearing seat and the fixed impeller at the lower end of the vertical shaft which rotates in the rolling bearing. The two ends of the bearing seat are pressed by the gland and the rolling bearing, and the lubricating oil of the bearing must be sealed to prevent leakage. The pump body is equipped with a motor bracket and motor. The impeller rotates in the pump chamber by means of a v-belt, and the slurry is compressed by the pressure of the impeller. Out. To prevent ore from penetrating the bearings, a centrifugal wheel is mounted on the main shaft.

Applications

Vertical slurry pumps are mainly used for conveying mud, mortar, slurry and similar liquids containing suspended solid particles. Such as oil drilling mud purification system, mineral processing plant conveying concentrate slurry, tailings, coal slurry, etc. It is suitable for conveying abrasive or corrosive slurry in various mining, chemical, electric power, building materials, agriculture and other industries.

Difference

Horizontal slurry pump is a horizontal pump installed on the ground. It usually needs to be installed upside down so that the slurry automatically flows into the pump chamber without opening the pump.

1 Starting method

Vertical submerged slurry pump does not need to be started by backfilling. The impeller is located underwater, so the suction performance is better. Therefore, higher rotation speed can be used, and it can work normally in the case of insufficient suction power; horizontal slurry pump needs to be reversed. Installation.

2 Installation area

Vertical submersible slurry pump covers a small area and is light in weight. If the slurry pump unit uses a limited area, it is appropriate to choose a vertical submerged slurry pump; horizontal slurry pump covers a large area and needs to be installed. The area is large.

3 Structure characteristics

Vertical submersible slurry pump is single pump shell structure; horizontal slurry pump is mostly double pump shell structure.
