What's the difference between sand slurry pump and mud pump?
Both the sand slurry pump and the mud pump are one type of impurity pump. The dredge pump, also named as sand pump, is a pump used for sand pumping operations, which is generally based on features of centrifugal pumps. Therefore, what are the difference between sand slurry pump and mud pump takes us to understand the ways of dredging pump operating.
Usually users are confused when choosing a slurry pump and a mud pump, which is difficult to select.
So what is the difference between a slurry pump and a mud pump?
After the technical personnel analyzed the slurry pump and the mud pump, the following differences were summarized:
1, the working principle is different:
When the wear-resistant slurry pump is working, the impeller rotates by the motor.
That is, the impeller works on the slurry to increase the kinetic energy of the slurry.
At the same time, the slurry flows to the edge of the impeller due to inertia and is discharged by the discharge pipe at a high speed.
The mud pump is the motor that drives the piston through the linkage mechanism, which causes the volume of the closed chamber in the mud pump to change.
Forming changes in the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the pump to complete the water absorption and drainage process
2, different transport media
The mud pump is the earliest pump type, generally made of cast iron, with low wear resistance.
As an important part of drilling machinery, it can only be used to transport mud or slurry containing suspended particles.
The slurry pump is mainly used in the mining industry to transport the slag-containing slurry and also to transport the slurry.
Because the slurry pump is more susceptible to impact, wear, corrosion, etc. during the working process
Therefore, the slurry pump is usually lined with wear-resistant materials, such as high-chromium alloy, rubber and other high wear-resistant materials.
Thereby forming a wear resistant slurry pump. This can effectively reduce the wear inside the slurry pump
Therefore, most of the slurry pumps currently used on the market are wear-resistant slurry pumps.
3, equipped with different equipment
High pressure and high flow mud pumps need to be equipped with auxiliary equipment, and slurry pumps do not need
Mud pumps often need to be used with high-pressure clean water pumps when working
The high pressure pump delivers clean water larger than the mud pump pressure to the leakproof packing
Protect the packing, otherwise it will easily wear out the sealing part
The wear-resistant slurry pump can be transported separately without the need for other auxiliary equipment.
The above content is obtained by comparing the basic common sense of the slurry pump and the mud pump. When selecting the customer, the customer must know the medium and working conditions of the pump to select the appropriate pump type.
