How to choose a slurry pump

When selecting a slurry pump, comprehensive technical and economic indicators such as the investment and operating costs of the pump unit and pumping station should be considered, so as to comply with the principles of economy, safety and applicability. Specifically, the following points should be noted when selecting a slurry pump:

1.The selection of a slurry pump is mainly based on flow rate and head. It is necessary to know the minimum and maximum flow rates required by the equipment. When selecting a pump, the maximum flow rate shall be taken as the basis. If the maximum flow rate is not specified, 1.1 times the normal flow rate can usually be used.

2.The head required by the device system shall take into account not only the lowest suction liquid level and the highest water delivery height, but also the layout of the pipeline system. Generally, 1.05-1.1 times the system head is adopted when selecting a pump.

3.After determining the two performance parameters of flow rate and head, the type of pump to be used shall be determined according to the requirements of the device system. Generally, pumps of ZZ, ZNB and ZLX series are selected in coal preparation plants. In addition to strong wear resistance, they also have the characteristics of high efficiency, good cavitation performance, stable operation, long service life, low speed and high head.
