- Head: Calculate the total head required (static head plus friction losses).
Wear Factors: These components experience wear from the slurry and need to be checked regularly.
Wear Factors: These components experience wear from the slurry and need to be checked regularly.
Wear Factors: Continuous contact with the slurry and seals can cause wear on the shaft sleeves.
Materials: Materials used for shaft sleeves include hardened stainless steel and ceramic-coated materials.

- Select the impeller design that best handles the slurry's characteristics (e.g., closed impellers for abrasive slurries, open impellers for large particles).
Slurry pump parts are particularly susceptible to wear due to the abrasive nature of the materials they handle. Components such as the impeller, casing, and liners are all subject to gradual wear, which can impact pump performance if not managed properly. Regular inspections and wear assessments are key to determining the optimal replacement cycle for these parts. By using advanced monitoring techniques and predictive maintenance tools, you can track the wear rate of slurry pump parts and plan replacements before they cause a significant drop in performance. This proactive approach helps to extend the life of the pump and reduce overall maintenance costs.
