What type of pump is better for transporting lime slurry?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, durable and long-lasting type
Would it be better to use a screw pump?
Low flow rate – can this be achieved by using a screw pump with variable frequency control?
What are the pressure, flow rate, and solid content of the slurry?
The flow rate is very low, around 0.2 m3, and the head is also not high.
Screw pumps and diaphragm pumps are viable options; specific considerations should be given to the actual operating conditions and requirements
There should not be too many problems with screw pumps; diaphragm pumps, on the other hand, have large particles, and they become unusable once scaling occurs. Also, could you recommend any good resources?
Screw pumps can work, but there will be issues with wear and tear of the stator and rotor. A three-plunger high-pressure diaphragm pump is also an option; the check valves at the inlet and outlet are of vertical valve-plate design. Its principle is similar to that of a metering pump, but it can transport slurries.
No, it has particles and cannot be used
