What are the characteristics and uses of rubber slurry pumps?

What are the characteristics and uses of rubber slurry pumps? There is a type of slurry pump called a rubber slurry pump in the market. So, what is a rubber slurry pump and what are its characteristics? Let Panshi Pump Industry introduce it to you.

A rubber slurry pump, also known as a rubber-lined slurry pump, does not mean that the entire pump is made of rubber. It refers to the fact that the wetted parts of the pump are lined with rubber. The wetted parts include the impeller, throatbush, front liner, and back liner, which are the components that directly contact the slurry during transportation. The term “rubber pump” means that these parts are lined with rubber, while the pump body and casing are still made of cast iron. This is something to be clear about.

So, what are the advantages of rubber-lined wetted parts compared to metal ones? 1. Lower cost, making the price slightly lower than that of a metal pump. 2. Better corrosion resistance than metal pumps. 3. Lighter weight compared to metal pumps of the same model. Of course, there are also limitations. Its applicability is restricted to some extent. While it has similar wear resistance to metal pumps when conveying slurry without sharp particles, if there are sharp particles present, the rubber can be scratched, leading to a reduced service life.

With the above introduction, do you now understand what a rubber slurry pump is?
