APPLICATION
Mining & minerals — abrasive slurry transfer
Abrasive solids-bearing duties — wear parts are a consumable budget, not a failure.
The typical duty
| Fluid | Lime Slurry (Ca(OH)2, with solids) |
|---|---|
| Temperature | 25 °C |
| Flow | 150 m³/h |
| Head | 45 m |
| Viscosity | ≈ 5 cP |
| Solids | 25% |
What the selector says at this duty
| Primary answer at this duty | Slurry Pump (abrasion-resistant) — Abrasive solids-laden fluids (lime slurry, tailings, ash) |
|---|---|
| Typical wetted materials | Polypropylene (PP), Cast Iron, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel 304, Stainless Steel 316L |
The answer above is the tool's own output at the duty shown — run your actual numbers through it; your duty point may move the answer. The full report adds the alternatives worth quoting in parallel.
What to watch
- State particle size and hardness, not only the percentage
- The spare-parts plan is part of the selection
