Sand pump accessories refers to pump casing, impeller, front and rear guards, bushings, bearings, flange, etc. Tai’an Ocean Pump Co., Ltd. (referred to as OCEAN PUMP) is a professional manufacturer who has specialized in sand pump machine such as sand pump and sand dredger for about 20 years. Meanwhile, the production and sales of sand pump parts are also our main business. Sand pump parts are easy to wear out because sand pumps are widely used for extracting particles such as sand, gravel, slurry, pebble, etc. This requires frequent replacement for sand pump parts. Most of the sand pump parts produced by OCEAN PUMP are made of high-chromium alloy and have long service life. Moreover, OCEAN brand sand pump has reasonable structure, this makes easy to disassemble and replace over current components.
1. Work background of sand pump accessories
On December 9, 2018, a customer from Dehong, Yunnan contacted OCEAN PUMP business department and mentioned the 6-inch large-particle sand gravel pump purchased at the end of 2017. At present, there were problems of large flow loss and no pressure on sand outlet. According to communicate with the customer, our engineers knew that the sand pump has pumped sand 100,000m3/h continuously and has not replaced sand pump parts.
The sand pump parameters are as follows.
- Sand pump model: ZS150 sand pump
- Flow rate: 216 m³/h
- Lift: 22 m
- Speed: 980 rpm
- Solids production: 40 m³/h
- Service life: 150,000 m³/h
2. Sand Pump Accessories Matching Process
After analysis, OCEAN PUMP technology department recommended the customer to replace the sand pump wear parts.
Many customers from Yunnan buy our sand dredging equipment. The content of pebbles in the local sand is very large, the ordinary small sand pump will be damaged in a few days, so we thinking of using large particle sand pump for sand dredging. The large particle sand pump has excellent passability and anti-cavitation ability, which is really suitable for the local river sand pumping project in Yunnan.
After determining sand pump parts replacement list, considering our company is far away from Yunnan, the customer hoped to purchase more sand pump parts in case of emergency. OCEAN PUMP has prepared two impellers and a pump casing, as well as basic seals and standard parts for the customer.
3. When to replace sand pump accessories?
The time it takes to replace sand pump parts depends on several factors. Here’s a summary of when to replace sand pump parts:
(1) Degree of wear: When the sand pump parts begin to show obvious signs of wear, such as cracks, corrosion or deformation in the impeller, pump casing, bearings, etc., replacement of the accessories needs to be considered. Wear can affect pump performance and efficiency, so timely replacement can keep your pump running properly.
(2) Failure and damage: If the sand pump parts fail, are damaged or fail, such as shaft seal leakage, blade breakage or bearing failure, etc., they need to be replaced immediately to restore the normal operation of the pump. Delay in replacement may result in further damage or complete failure of the pump.
(3) Maintenance plan: According to the manufacturer’s recommendations or maintenance plan, regular replacement of sand pump parts can prevent potential failure and wear. This could be a plan based on usage time, hours worked, or other metrics.
(4) Performance decline: If the performance of the sand pump decreases significantly, such as reduced flow, reduced head, or reduced efficiency, parts may need to be replaced even though there are no obvious signs of wear or damage. This increases the efficiency of the pump and ensures its proper operation.
(5) Updates and upgrades: Sometimes, sand pump parts are replaced for the purpose of updating and upgrading to improve performance, adapt to new work requirements, or adopt more efficient technology. This can be based on industry developments, technological advancements or project needs.
In summary, the timing of replacing sand pump parts should be determined based on wear, failure, maintenance schedules, performance degradation, and the need for updates and upgrades. Regular inspection and maintenance of sand pumps and timely replacement of accessories can ensure the reliability, performance and life of the pump.
