Submersible Slurry Pumps
- Murray Prime Pumps through consultation with mining industry now introduces new range of Submersible Slurry pumps the “SLD Series”
- The SLD pump has been designed to efficiently pump contaminated fluids containing solids in suspension to a maximum of 70% by weight.
- A heavy duty 27% Cr agitator helps keep solids in suspension The SLD pump series are small, slimline and lighter than a Vertical Cantilever Sump pump thereby offering cost reduction & savings in man-hours, repairs and transportation.
Design Features
- Submersible cable with epoxy fill to raise moisture resistance. Sizes, styles and length are available to meet your specific requirements.
- Double silicon carbide mechanical seals in an oil bath offering are running capability. A wear prod protection ring is also fitted
- Windings are class H insulation rated to 200°C and incorporate overheating and overload protection.
- Top discharge, self venting design means no more airlock. Jacket design ensures motor is always cooled even when pumping within inches of the bottom.
- Semi Open, 27% Cr hardened impeller resists abrasion and allows the pumping of large diameter solids.
- 27% Cr agitator helps to keep solids in suspension thereby minimizing the settlement of pump solids in the pump or piping.
- 27% Cr wear plate to reduce abrasion. can be adjusted externally to keep efficiency at a maximum.
- Replaceable stainless steel shaft sleeve to protect the shaft.
Application
- Harbour construction
- Ash transfer
- Silt removal
- Sand and gravel pumping
- Barge and tank clean out
- Lime slurry
- Coal runoff sumps
- Food waste
Application
Process
High Head Capability: These pumps are engineered to handle high head applications, meaning they can move water vertically over considerable heights. This is achieved through powerful motors and specially designed impellers that generate significant pressure.
Submersible Design: Being submersible, these pumps operate underwater, making them ideal for de-watering tasks where the pump needs to be placed directly in the water. This design also helps in reducing noise and vibration, ensuring smoother operation.
Robust Construction: Built with durable materials like stainless steel and cast iron, these pumps can withstand harsh environments, including exposure to abrasive materials and corrosive liquids. They are often equipped with features like double mechanical seals to prevent water ingress and extend the pump’s lifespan.
High Efficiency: Many high head submersible pumps are designed to be energy-efficient, which helps in reducing operational costs. Advanced models might incorporate features like automatic operation, thermal overload protection, and clog-resistant impellers.
