- Throat Bush: Protects the area around the impeller eye where the slurry first enters.
Enhancing Durability with High Pressure Vertical Pumps

Materials: Liners are often made from high-chrome alloys, rubber, or other wear-resistant materials.
Slurry pumps are specifically designed to manage abrasive and viscous fluids. Unlike conventional pumps, which may struggle with the unique characteristics of slurry, specialized slurry pumps are built to withstand high wear and tear. This is primarily due to their robust construction, often featuring materials such as high-chrome alloys and elastomers that enhance their resilience against corrosion and abrasion. As a result, they are capable of handling a wide variety of slurries, including those found in mineral processing, dredging, and even in some agricultural applications.

Typically, materials such as cast iron, stainless steel, or thermoplastics are employed, chosen based on factors like fluid characteristics, temperature, and pressure. For example, corrosive fluids may necessitate the use of more durable materials to prevent degradation and ensure longevity.
Materials: High-chrome iron, ductile iron, and stainless steel are commonly used materials.
