High Head Slurry Pump Shaft Seal Arrangement
Sealing and Making Sure that is Well Packed
It is a shaft seal, in general, that may be utilized in a variety of pumping circumstances. PTFE and graphite packing materials can be employed in high corrosive slurries or high temperature conditions.
The Expeller Seal
It is a reversed centrifugal impeller force that prevents slurry leakage. The expeller seal can be used on a single-stage pump or the first-stage pump in a pump series when the positive pressure at the pump intake is less than 10% of the positive pressure at the pump output.
Mechanical Lock
The advantages are integrative construction, quick installation and replacement, the design of mechanical seal and seal box is suited for liquid flow condition, therefore it has excellent abrasion and vibration resistance, mechanical seal can be utilized in various difficult situations.

IMPELLERS
Pump out fan blades on the rear and front (on closed impellers) reduce circulating within the pump and aid in seal fouling prevention – optional castings of straight or semi vanes (from 3 to 8 vanes on particular sizes) offer greater hydraulic options in individual sizes.
LINERS
heavy-duty high chromium liner – threaded bolts are used as an active engineered attachment mechanism to the casing rather than unstable adhesive.
THROATBUSH
To account for wear over time and maximize efficiency, cotters are used.
COMPATIBILITY WITH CHEMICALS
The operational pH range is 3 to 14 – notably for corrosive chemicals handled with a wide range of elastomeric wetted parts.
SEALS
provides a wide range of seal choices to meet any process requirement
EXPELLER (CENTRIFUGAL SEAL) (CENTRIFUGAL SEAL)
Provide low flow water flush or zero flow (grease lubricated) alternatives to enable superior sealing if water input to the seal is insufficient or too high.
BOX FOR STUFFING
Gland packing and lantern ring sealing
ASSEMBLING OF BEARINGS
All bearings are built in controlled circumstances using the best quality tapered roller bearings to prevent lubricant and housing contamination – larger shaft diameters and decreased overhang in the wet end contribute to long life and reliability in the field
CASING
Split-case design enables for easy access and maintenance of wet end sections; cast ductile iron with wide outside ribbing gives higher pressure ratings and long-term reliability; and series pumping is simple with casing pressures up to 750psig.
BASE
A single piece base with an interconnected error correction mechanism for impeller approval within the pump – bearing manufacturing locks into base with four heavy-duty bolts – three custom designed mounting modes are available: overhead via an integrated and comprehensive pedestal system, side-by-side via an expandable motor mount, and direct-coupled via precision in-house alignment (optional packages available)
High Head Slurry Pump Model Selection of HH Pump
When selecting a type, the performance curve table for clear water of a pump must be consulted, and the coefficient of range for the flow selected is as follows:
- The coefficient of flow range for medium density and strong abrasive slurry is 40-80%.
- The coefficient of flow range will be 40-100% for slurry with low density and high abrasiveness.
- The flow rate will be 100% at the greatest efficiency point for a certain RPM scenario.
Benefits and Technology: You didn’t know that you need
Excellent-head centrifugal slurry pumps are distinguished by their wide range of applications, good efficiency, ease of maintenance, and high performance-to-cost ratio.
Because wet parts are non-abrasive, they can be used for an extended period of time. Furthermore, they are composed of various materials that are appropriate for various working circumstances.
Rubber-lined sludge pumps employ multistage tandem technology, making them ideal for long-distance conveyance.
Product deterioration and shearing have been reduced.
The concentric casing and recessed impeller design generate wide internal clearances that allow solids to flow through without coming into touch with the impeller, lowering the possibility of product degradation and shearing.
Reduced possibility of air locking
Pumps slurries with up to 30% entrained air without air locking. The bubble at the impeller eye is broken up by continual recirculation, enhancing efficiency, lowering power demand, and reducing flow instability, especially in flotation applications and low-level sump operations.
Large solids flowing through the size
Designed to let big, shear-sensitive particles to pass through without clogging or damaging the product.
