What type of pump should be used for the crystallizer slurry discharge pump?
Thread Content
Originally, diaphragm metering pumps were used for the slurry pump, but due to the high concentration of the slurry, the pumps would often get clogged; therefore, it was decided to replace them with other pumps. Which type of pump would be most suitable in this case?

So, a metering pump is used? Is your data usage very low? It also depends on the properties of your medium for selecting the appropriate pump; if there is no risk of fire or explosion, a regular centrifugal pump of the slurry type will suffice.
We use ordinary centrifugal pumps with closed impellers, and the pumps have never gotten clogged
For ordinary centrifugal pumps, an open impeller and a double-end face mechanical seal are sufficient

Noting that the original poster used a diaphragm pump, it must be a pilot or lab-scale system~~~ I recommend using a single-gear pump.
Isn’t an axial flow pump needed? Will a centrifugal pump damage the crystals?
Does this 30% refer to the mass fraction?
