Types of Slurry Pumps

There are many types of slurry pumps for many types of industries and applications. Each industry has its different uses, types of slurries, and names for their slurries and pumps. In some industries, a slurry pump is referred to as a sludge pump, trash pump, process pump, and multiple other terms. Regardless of the name, slurry pumps are built to move the mixture of liquids with suspended solids that make up a slurry. They are designed for solids handling.

Heavy-duty slurry pumps and sludge pumps provide a quick and easy way of moving a combination of a wet mixture of liquids and solids. The slurry can take on many different forms and consist of many different materials like muck, sand, ash, lime, gypsum, bentonite, pulp, paste, food, wastes, oils, solvents, and other solids. With various types, thicknesses, and temperatures of slurries, the handling of the slurry is different from one application to the next. Not all slurry can be handled the same way. How wastewater and soil slurry are handled is different than food and pulp slurries, slurry oils, or other abrasive slurries.

CNZKING PUMPS offers a robust selection of the best pumps for a variety of industries and applications. These heavy-duty pumps performing to the industry’s best standards. The variety of pumps we offer allows for the right pump for every application. We provide centrifugal pumps that are submersible, self-priming surface, flooded suction, and dredging pump. Our positive displacement pumps provide controlled part-driven technology in reciprocating styles like piston, plunger, and diaphragm pumps, and the rotary styles offer, gear, lobe, vane, and screw pumps.

Centrifugal Pumps

A centrifugal pump contains one or more impellers that move fluid by rotation and draw fluid into the suction end of the pump. Then through centrifugal force, the fluid is forced out the discharge end. This design allows the pumps to be used for a wide range of applications and is preferred for processes that handle dirty material and low viscosity liquids at high flow rates. Many low-end centrifugal pumps are not capable of handling fluid containing air, vapors, or too heavy amount of solids. However, CNZKING PUMPS centrifugal slurry pumps can process heavy abrasive solids and work through everything that would normally shut down other pumps.

CNZKING PUMPS make top-of-the-line centrifugal pumps in our submersible pumps, self-priming pumps, dredge pumps, and flooded suction pumps.
