Why is the flow rate of slurry pump unstable

 The main reasons for the unstable flow of the slurry pump are as follows:

1. Suction pipe or bottom valve leakage, or water inlet is blocked, which is a common cause of insufficient flow. Need to check the suction pipe and bottom valve leakage point, and repair in time, or clean up the silt and clogging of the water inlet.

2. Low voltage will cause the rotational speed of the slurry pump to drop, thus affecting the flow rate. At this time, the power supply voltage should be checked and adjusted.

3. When the pipeline leaks or there is air in the pump body, the air in the pipeline should be discharged in time.

4. Seal ring or impeller serious wear will also lead to unstable flow, need to check and replace the serious wear parts.

5. Insufficient depth of water entry of the bottom valve may lead to the entry of air when pumping. The depth of the bottom valve should be adjusted according to the suction range of the slurry pump.

6. If the slurry pump works normally after starting for some time, but then the current drops gradually, the flow rate is insufficient, and the problem still occurs after restarting, it is usually due to the accumulation of slurry or other debris in the pipe, which leads to vapor corrosion of the pump. In serious cases, the pump will emit a loud noise and vibrate violently. At this time, the forebay and suction pipe should be thoroughly cleaned, the length of the pipe below the elbow should be reduced, or the mixing device should be increased to minimize the slurry settling.

How much does it cost to buy a slurry pump

  The price of slurry pumps can be affected by a variety of factors, so it is difficult to give an exact figure. Generally speaking, the price of slurry pumps will vary according to the following factors: Factors affecting the price of slurry pumps Pump type and specifications: flow, head, caliber, material and other parameters are different, the price will also have a big difference. Pump material: slurry pump contact medium corrosive different, the material selected is different, thus affecting the price. Common materials are cast iron, stainless steel, wear-resistant alloy. Pump brand: different brands of pumps, its technical level, quality, after-sales service and so on there are differences, the price will naturally be different. Pump configuration: pump configuration, such as motor, control system, seals, etc., will also affect the price. Purchase Quantity: Bulk purchases are usually discounted to a certain extent. Market conditions: Fluctuations in the price of raw materials...

How to replace the impeller of a slurry pump

  The impeller of the slurry pump is a wearing part, which needs to be inspected and replaced periodically. The process of replacing the impeller is relatively complex and requires certain specialized knowledge and skills. The following are the steps for replacing the impeller of the slurry pump: 1. Preparation Shut down and disconnect the power:  Before any operation, be sure to cut off the power supply to ensure safety. Preparation tools:  ready wrenches, screwdrivers, gaskets, new impeller and so on. Drain:  Empty the pump. Protective measures:  Wear protective gloves, safety glasses and other protective equipment. 2. Disassembly Procedure DISASSEMBLY:  Disassemble the suction and discharge pipes connected to the pump. Remove pump cover:  Loosen the bolts securing the pump cover and carefully remove the cover. Remove the impeller:  Loosen the nuts secure the impeller with a suitable tool and remove the impeller. 3. Install the new impeller Insp...
