General
Slurry Pumps are made up of four basic modules, the frame (A), the bearing cylinder (B),
the shaft seal (C) and the wet-end (D) assemblies – see Figure 2.3.1-1.
A comprehensive range of modules are available, to configure pumps to suit a wide range
of applications.
Pumps are supplied bareshaft or as fixed-base pumpsets with various choices of motor
mounting position. Manual or hydraulic slide-bases are optional.
Maximum efficiency is maintained by setting impeller running clearance(s). The adjustment
is easily carried out during maintenance and shut-down periods.
Standard bearing cylinders are grease lubricated, but oil lubricated bearings are an option.
Pump designation is made up of letters which identify the range and numbers which
indicate the inlet diameter in millimetres –e.g. HM150.
