In the current world, pumping has become essential and it finds application in both the industries as well as the domestic households. Different pumps are used differently depending on the industry in which they are applied. Among the most used gadgets in different industries are the slurry pumps.

The motors are called as Slurry because of the type of materials they carry. These are used mainly in the mining industries for pumping slurries. The name slurry is a mixture of solid soil or clay or sand with water. These pumping devices are very helpful in carrying out the soil mixture easily from the surface.

Classification of these gadgets can be categorized into three classes. These include the centrifugal types, lobe models and peristaltic hose models. Each one of these categories is applied in a different type of activity depending on its operation. Additionally, all of the three models have their advantages which make them suitable for certain specific uses.

Solid clay or slit of up to two millimeters are transported using these pumping equipment. The range of transporting gravel and sand lies between two to eight millimeters range. There are further categories of this particular type of pump.

Lobe pumps on the other hand are famous for saving a lot of money in maintenance as compared to traditional centrifugal pumps made of rubber lines. Their main characteristic features are run dry ability, forward and reverse flow helping in cleaning operation. Also, they require less driving power, have a compact design and are ideal for corrosive and abrasive fluid.

There are various online resources which will help you to know about the working of these devices. However, operating the actual machine is necessary if you have to learn how it is used in the industry. Just reading details from the internet sources does not make you an expert on the same.

The peristaltic pumps are used for pumping a variety of fluids like viscous liquids, abrasive fluids, slurries with very high solid content. Even in the medical field, they get used in heart-lung machines to ease the circulation of blood during bypass surgery. Due to its peristaltic action, this pump does not allow sedimentation. Therefore, reaction of fluids with pump material could not take place. Some of the features of this pump include low maintenance cost, disaster proof connection, dry running, accurate dosing performance and low power requirements.

The other types of slurry pumps that are used in different industries are the packaged pumping systems. These have metallic as well as non-metallic construction. In many industries, there are applications of these gadgets. Some of them are Mine De-watering, Paints and Viscous liquids, Adhesives and resins, Chemical processing and other industries. These also have an air distribution system with self-priming and dry running features. The pumping equipment have anti freeze property and are lube free and their membranes are good at providing efficient operations of many instruments.
