Structural features and applications of vertical slurry pumps

Slurry pumps are divided into horizontal slurry pumps and vertical slurry pumps based on the relationship between the pump shaft position to the water level it is a vertical slurry pump when the pump’ shaft is perpendicular to the water level, which is also called a sump pump because its pump head is immersed in slurry.

Casings of vertical pumps are made of abrasion-resistant metal, as well as impellers, and are also available in other materials like natural rubber or polyurethane. Bearings are lubricated by grease.

Vertical pumps can be driven by V belts, pulleys, or flexible couplings. They realize their overall performance through various speeds and different impeller selections, which helps guarantee the pumps' operation at their best. Vertical pumps have a long servicing life, high working efficiency, and can meet many kinds of arduous slurry transferring applications.

Vertical pumps are widely used in metallurgy sectors, mine sites, coal, power plants, construction, and environmental protection, and they play an important role!
