- Temperature: Note the operating temperature of the slurry.
Wear Factors: Seals can degrade over time due to contact with abrasive slurry and need regular replacement.
6. Consult with Experts
Function: Liners protect the pump casing from the abrasive action of the slurry.
Materials: Materials used for shaft sleeves include hardened stainless steel and ceramic-coated materials.
Function: Bearing assemblies support the pump shaft and ensure smooth operation.
a. Material Compatibility:
The shaft transmits power from the motor to the impeller, while the bearing assembly supports the shaft and allows it to rotate smoothly. The durability of these components is essential, as they must endure continual mechanical stress and the harsh conditions present within the slurry.
The Compact Footprint of Vertical Multistage Centrifugal Pumps
Materials: High-quality bearings are used to withstand the operational stresses.
