Progressive Cavity Pumps for Abrasive Mineral Slurry
Controlled positive-displacement transfer for mineral slurries containing abrasive particles, fines, sand and suspended solids.
Positive displacement for demanding mineral streams
Mineral-processing slurries can combine high solids, abrasive particles and non-Newtonian behavior. Progressive cavity pumps can provide steady controlled flow for selected duties where displacement, operating speed and materials are matched to the actual slurry.
Wear management begins with speed and solids data
Particle hardness, concentration and size distribution influence rotor/stator wear. Slurry density, viscosity and settling tendency affect suction performance and cavity filling. Selection should cover the complete operating range, not only the nominal design point.
