Polyurethane parts of slurry pump are directly connected with slurries, they are very important for the service life of slurry pumps. The service life of PU parts is longer than rubber materials for 3-5 times, PU wetted parts include wheel, throat, frame plate liner, cover plate liner, frame plate liner insert, etc. These are very easily worn components as they operate under long term impact from abrasive and corrosive slurries. For the long service life of the pump parts, the material polyurethane plays an important role here.
Design Features of Polyurethane Slurry Pump Spares and Parts:
Liners - Easily replaceable liners are bolted, not glued, to the housing for positive attachment and ease of maintenance. Hardmetal liners are completely interchangeable with die-cast elastomers. Elastomeric sealing rings cover all liner joints.
Casing - Cast iron or ductile iron casing halves with external reinforcing ribs provide high operating pressure capabilities and an added measure of safety.
Impeller - front and rear shrouds have pumping vanes which reduce recirculation and seal contamination. Hard metal and molded elastomer wheels are fully interchangeable. Cast wheel nets require no inserts or nuts. High efficiency, high pressure designs are also available.
Groove - Wear is reduced and maintenance simplified by the use of tapered mating faces to allow precise, positive alignment during assembly and simple removal.
