Best Pumps for Mining Slurry Applications
Mining slurry is one of the most difficult materials to transport in industrial pumping systems. Unlike clean water applications, mining slurry contains abrasive solids that continuously wear internal pump components while creating unstable flow conditions throughout...
What Is the Difference Between Submersible and Self-Priming Pumps?
Introduction to Submersible vs Self-Priming Pumps Submersible and self-priming pumps are both used in industrial systems, but they solve different system problems. The key difference is where the pump sits relative to the fluid source and how it moves liquid into the...
How to Size a Slurry Pump: A Practical Engineering Guide
What Slurry Pump Sizing Actually Means Slurry pump sizing is the process of matching pump performance to the actual demands of a slurry transport system. It is not simply choosing a pump based on discharge size, horsepower, or catalog capacity. The goal is to make...
When to Use a Submersible Slurry Pump
What Is a Submersible Slurry Pump and How It Works A submersible slurry pump is a pump designed to operate fully submerged in liquid containing suspended solids such as sand, silt, sludge, or abrasive particles. The pump and motor are integrated into a single sealed...
How to Size a Slurry Pump for Your Project
Slurry pump sizing means selecting a pump that can move your slurry at the required flow rate and pressure without causing excessive wear, cavitation, or unnecessary energy loss. You are matching the pump’s capacity, power, hydraulic design, and materials to the real...
How Long Before a Slurry Pump Wet End Needs Replacement?
Slurry pump wet-end replacement becomes part of your operation whether you plan for it or not. The wet end handles the harshest conditions inside a slurry pump, where abrasive slurry moves at high velocity and constantly attacks critical pump wear parts like the...
Understanding Pump Curves for Pontoon Dredging Applications
On paper, everything looks right. The pump is sized correctly. The engine has enough power. The pontoon dredge should deliver the required flow. But once operations start, reality hits. Production stays low. Wear parts disappear faster than expected. Fuel consumption...
Pumping Slurries and Solids with Appalachian Self-Priming Pumps
Pumping slurries is not the same as pumping clean water. When you deal with sand, silt, mud, or debris, standard pumps fail fast. They clog. They wear out. They stop when you need them most. The real problem is not the flow rate. It is solids handling. If your pump...
Ultrasonic Flow Meters: The Smart Solution for Precise Liquid Flow Monitoring
In many pumping systems, flow is assumed rather than measured. Operators often rely on pump curves, pressure readings, or past experience to judge whether a system is performing as expected. This works only up to a point. Once slurry density changes, air enters the...
