- Type of Slurry: Determine if the slurry is abrasive, corrosive, or contains large particles.
Wear plates are installed within the pump casing to protect the surfaces from the erosive wear caused by the particles in the slurry. These plates can be easily replaced when worn, allowing for maintenance without needing to replace the entire pump. Some wear plates are designed to be adjustable to optimize the pump's performance by fine-tuning the clearance around the impeller.
- Consider the type of seal (e.g., mechanical seals, packing) based on the slurry's properties and operating conditions.

Reducing operational costs is a top priority in mining and quarrying, where the cost of equipment maintenance and energy consumption can significantly impact profitability. The efficient operation of horizontal slurry pumps plays a key role in achieving cost savings. By selecting the right centrifugal pump for slurry and maintaining it with AH slurry pump parts, operators can optimize energy use, reduce wear on pump components, and minimize the need for costly repairs. The long-term benefits of efficient slurry pump operation include lower energy bills, reduced maintenance costs, and improved overall efficiency in mining and quarry processes.
