The applications of mining slurry pumps are diverse. Their primary function is to transfer slurries from the point of extraction to processing facilities. In this stage, the slurry contains valuable minerals that need to be refined and extracted. Slurry pumps are also crucial in the dewatering process, where the goal is to remove excess water from extracted materials. This not only improves the efficiency of material handling but also protects the environment by reducing the risk of contaminated water discharge.

4. Power Generation In power plants, particularly coal-fired ones, heavy slurry pumps are utilized to handle ash and other byproducts safely and effectively. These pumps transport the slurry to disposal areas or recycle it, minimizing environmental impact.

(1) If the horizontal slurry pump causes a blockage of solid hard deposits in the volute, measures can be taken to remove the blockage.
(2) If the shaft is different from the stuffing box axis, it is mainly due to processing errors and incorrect installation. Then pay attention to check whether the installation is correct after installation. If the sealing water ring is badly worn, a new water ring needs to be replaced. If the sealing water pipe is blocked, the sealing water cannot enter the middle of the packing, resulting in rapid wear of the packing, resulting in material leakage, you should dredge the blocked water pipe and keep the sealing water clean.
(3) If the impeller or the inlet and outlet water pipe is blocked, the impeller or pipe can be cleaned, and if the impeller is seriously worn, it should be replaced. If the filler mouth leaks, press the filler. If the conveying height is too high or the tube loss resistance is too large, the conveying height should be reduced or the resistance reduced.

Maintenance Considerations

2. Cost-Effective Operation Diesel-powered compressors like the CFM 185 tend to have lower operational costs over time compared to their gas counterparts, particularly in heavy-use scenarios.

Mars’ low atmospheric pressure also contributes to unique weather phenomena. The thin atmosphere allows for significant temperature fluctuations, with daytime temperatures at the equator reaching up to 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) but plunging to -80 degrees Celsius (-112 degrees Fahrenheit) at night.

Regularly lubricate all necessary parts. This can not only reduce friction between components, decreasing wear, but also prevent rust, protecting the mechanical parts. Proper lubrication is one of the secrets to keeping the drilling rig running smoothly.

- Xylem With a commitment to sustainability and innovative technology, Xylem manufactures a variety of pumps, including vertical designs suitable for challenging applications in industrial environments.

Daily cleaning of the drilling rig is the foundation of maintenance work and the most important step. After each use, thoroughly clean the machine with compressed air or clean water, especially the radiator and air filter. This can prevent performance degradation due to overheating, as well as avoid faults caused by the accumulation of dust and mud.
