When manufacturers add titanium dioxide to foods and other ingestible products, it’s typically referred to as E171, which relates to food-grade purity.
Skittles has been making headlines in recent weeks and not because a new flavor has been added to the popular taste the rainbow candy.
North America
Function: The pump casing contains the slurry and guides it through the pump.
a. Sealing Mechanisms:
Wear Factors: Seals can degrade over time due to contact with abrasive slurry and need regular replacement.
2. Liners
- Head: Calculate the total head required (static head plus friction losses).

Function: Seals prevent slurry from leaking out of the pump and protect the internal components.
Materials: Materials used for shaft sleeves include hardened stainless steel and ceramic-coated materials.
Flow rate is a critical performance metric for the horizontal centrifugal slurry pump as it determines the volume of slurry that the pump can transport over a given time. Measuring the flow rate involves calculating the amount of slurry passing through the pump per unit of time. This is typically expressed in cubic meters per hour (m³/h). Accurate flow rate measurements are essential for understanding how effectively the centrifugal slurry pump can handle the required volume of material, which is particularly important in industries where slurry transport using centrifugal pumps is a key operation. A pump with a consistent and accurate flow rate ensures that the system maintains productivity and reduces the risk of operational downtime.
3. Consider Material and Design
The impeller is a rotating component within the pump that transfers energy from the motor to the slurry. It plays a significant role in creating the flow and pressure necessary to move the slurry through the system. Impellers for slurry pumps are typically heavier and more robust than those used in standard pumps to withstand the harsh conditions encountered in abrasive applications. Their design can vary, with options for different shapes and sizes to accommodate specific types of slurries.
- Type of Slurry: Determine if the slurry is abrasive, corrosive, or contains large particles.
Function: The backplate provides structural support and helps in mounting the pump.
- Ensure the pump has adequate NPSH available to avoid cavitation.
- Locate your required flow rate and head on the chart to find potential pump models.
Function: The impeller is responsible for moving the slurry through the pump by converting mechanical energy into kinetic energy.
- Volute Liners: Protect the pump casing in the volute section.
Wear Factors: Casings can wear down due to the abrasive slurry and need regular inspection and maintenance.
Wear Factors: Seals can degrade over time due to contact with abrasive slurry and need regular replacement.
1. Impeller
In quarrying, the separation of sand and gravel is a vital process that requires reliable equipment. Horizontal slurry pumps are particularly well-suited for this task, as they can efficiently handle the slurry mixture of sand, gravel, and water. The centrifugal slurry pump design ensures that these materials are separated and transported to their respective storage or processing areas with minimal energy consumption. By utilizing OEM horizontal slurry pumps, quarry operations can streamline their processes, reduce operational costs, and improve the quality of the final product. The durability and efficiency of these pumps make them a cost-effective solution for handling the abrasive and coarse materials commonly found in quarries.
2. Pump Casing
- Temperature: Note the operating temperature of the slurry.
Function: The expeller and expeller rings work together to reduce the pressure and minimize leakage from the pump.
Wear Factors: Continuous contact with the slurry and seals can cause wear on the shaft sleeves.
Function: The pump casing contains the slurry and guides it through the pump.

There are several types of impellers used in sewage pumps, each with distinct features catering to various types of sewage applications. The most common types include open, semi-open, and enclosed impellers. Open impellers have no front shroud, allowing for larger solids to pass through without clogging. This makes them ideal for handling raw sewage containing debris. Semi-open and enclosed impellers, on the other hand, are more suitable for cleaner liquids, offering better efficiency and pressure generation.
Impellers are the rotating parts of sewage pumps that convert rotational energy from the motor into kinetic energy within the fluid. This transformation occurs through the design of the impeller blades, which are shaped to create a flow of water, pushing it outwards through the volute or the casing. The design of the impeller directly affects the pump's efficiency, capacity, and performance.
