Among slurry-type shield pumps, gear pumps, and diaphragm pumps, which is the most suitable for transporting high-viscosity liquids with a small amount of particles?
Diaphragm pumps are more suitable for transporting high-viscosity liquids with a small amount of particles.
A small amount of particles can cause damage to the gear meshing in gear pumps; it also depends on the process requirements – slurry shield pumps are used for high flow rates, while diaphragm pumps are used for low flow rates but high head
It seems that mud shield pumps can’t be used even with particles that are relatively large, right?
A diaphragm pump is necessary; that’s what we’ve been using. In other words, only volume-displacement pumps can be used – pump types with impellers won’t work
It depends on the specific particle size, type, and viscosity level.
What type of pump do you use? My medium is also quite viscous and contains small particles; the temperature reaches 160 degrees. Can a diaphragm pump be used for this application?
Shielded pumps belong to the category of centrifugal pumps, while gear pumps and diaphragm pumps are considered volume pumps; they operate on different principles. They are capable of transporting small amounts of particles, and compared to centrifugal pumps, volume pumps are more suitable for transporting high-viscosity fluids
A gluing twin-screw pump can be used, offering superior performance
