12 inch High Head Slurry Pump Shipped to USA

1.  What is a High Head Slurry Pump?

1.1 A high head slurry pump is a centrifugal pump designed to handle abrasive fluids containing solid particles at high pressures and long distances. It can be used in industries such as mining, mineral processing, dredging, and power generation. These pumps have the capabilities to handle demanding conditions. They generate high discharge pressures, have large impeller sizes, and use wear-resistant materials such as high chrome alloys or rubber liners. The rugged construction withstands harsh environments, and the adjustable impeller clearance maintains optimal performance. The shaft sealing mechanism prevents leakage and extends the life of the pump.

1.2 These pumps are specifically designed to handle abrasive fluids containing solid particles at high pressures and long distances. Taian Marine Pump’s high lift mud pumps are ideal for applications in industries such as mining, mineral processing, dredging, and power generation.

1.3 They are able to generate high discharge pressures to overcome pipeline resistance and lift mud to considerable heights. The impeller is designed with a larger diameter to accommodate solid particles and maintain efficiency. The pumps are made of wear-resistant materials such as high chrome alloy or rubber lining to withstand the abrasiveness of the conveyed mud.

2. Why choose a 12-inch high head slurry pump?

In April 2017, we received a request from a US customer asking about their slurry pump problem. They were operating a cutter suction dredger to extract sand from a lake, which required long-distance transportation. However, their current slurry pump could not meet their dredging requirements. Therefore, they needed to add a more powerful high head slurry pump.

The dredging requirements provided by the customer are as follows:

The high head slurry pump delivers a solid flow rate of 250m3/hour from the primary slurry pump.

The inlet size of the high head slurry pump is 350mm and the outlet size is 300mm.

The row spacing can reach 1600m.

The pump should be wear-resistant and easy to use.

After calculation, we recommended the DS300-70 slurry pump unit to the customer and suggested matching it with Cummins marine diesel engine and 600 marine gearbox. This high head slurry pump adopts a five-blade impeller, which is highly efficient and has a low failure rate. The parts of the pump that come into contact with the medium are all made of high-chromium alloy materials. In addition, it adopts a double volute structure to ensure stability, safety, high head displacement and excellent wear resistance. The pump is very suitable for the customer’s requirements.

After discussion and communication, the customer agreed to our choice and placed an order in September 2017. Our factory quickly arranged production and procurement and prepared stocks within 20 working days to make up for the long delivery time of the engine.

Finally, the customer sent a representative to test the pump unit. The test included evaluating the shape and size of the slurry pump, checking the material of the flow-through parts, evaluating the actual efficiency of the system, ensuring smooth operation, and analyzing the performance curve. They also required the Cummins diesel engine to have an EPA emission certificate. To ensure safe transportation, the high-lift slurry pump is firmly fixed in the container.

This case proves that our marine pump products have been rigorously tested, indicating that our products and support services have been recognized and accepted by developed countries. It has laid a solid foundation for the future export of our main pumps to Europe and the United States.

3. What are the applications of high head slurry pumps?

High head slurry pumps are suitable for a variety of industries that require the transportation of abrasive fluids containing solid particles over long distances at high pressure. Some common applications of high-lift slurry pumps include:

3.1 Mining: High head slurry pumps are widely used in mining operations to transport slurries, including coal, iron ore, gold, copper and other ores. They can handle the abrasiveness of slurries encountered in mining

Mineral processing.

3.2 Mineral processing: In mineral processing plants, high head slurry pumps are used to transport and process minerals. They play a vital role in operations such as grinding, flotation, leaching and dewatering.

3.3 Dredging: High head slurry pumps are used in dredging operations to remove sediment, sand and sludge from rivers, lakes, ports and other water bodies. They are able to pump large amounts of material over great distances.

3.4. Power Generation: High head slurry pumps are used in power plants to handle fly ash, bottom ash, and other waste materials generated during the combustion of coal or biomass. These pumps aid in the transportation and handling of slurries.

3.5. Construction: High head slurry pumps are used in construction projects for tasks such as tunnel construction, foundation dewatering, and concrete pumping. They can handle mixtures of water, solid particles, and other construction materials.

3.6. Chemical Processing: In chemical plants, high-pressure slurry pumps are used to transport corrosive slurries and chemicals containing solid particles. They are chemically resistant and can handle the harsh conditions of chemical processing.

3.7. Sand and Gravel Industry: High-pressure slurry pumps are used in the sand and gravel industry to transport sand, gravel, and other aggregates. They are able to handle the abrasive nature of these materials.

These are just a few examples of the applications of high-pressure slurry pumps. Their versatility and ability to handle abrasive fluids make them essential equipment in industries that require the transportation of slurries.
