What are the vulnerable parts in the components of a slurry pump?

A slurry pump is used to transport slurry containing solid particles, and these particles can cause wear on the pump. So, what are the vulnerable parts? Shijiazhuang Pansto Pump Co., Ltd. will introduce the vulnerable parts of a slurry pump.

In the components of a slurry pump, there is a term called the “wet-end parts,” which refers to the components directly in contact with the slurry or the parts that come into contact with the slurry inside the pump chamber. Since these parts directly interact with the slurry, they are susceptible to wear from the particles in the slurry, making them vulnerable. So, what does the wet-end parts include?

The impeller, throatbush, and liner plate. Among them, the rubber slurry pump has both a front liner and a back liner for the throatbush. However, small-sized slurry pumps do not have liner plates. For example, models like 1.5/1B-AHR and 2/1.5B-AHR. In the high-chrome slurry pumps, small-sized pumps do not have a front liner plate. For instance, models like 1.5/1B-AH, 2/1.5B-AH, and 3/2C-AH.

Apart from the wet-end parts, there are also small components in the shaft sealing area that require regular maintenance and replacement. For example, in the packing seal, the packing material, commonly known as gland packing, may need to be replaced. If the pump uses a mechanical seal, the mechanical seal is also prone to damage.

In addition to the above-mentioned components, other parts of the slurry pump are generally not
