Slurry horizontal centrifugal pumps are designed for particularly difficult operating conditions. They are used in the mining industry, on construction sites, in slag removal systems of thermal power plants, in utility companies, etc.
Slurry pumps perform jobs that conventional drainage or sewage pumping units cannot do. They pump hydraulic mixtures with a high volume content of fine and coarse particles: gravel, sand-gravel, ash and slag, sludge, filtrate, etc. Typical applications of slurry pumps are drainage of flooded mines, pumping drilling fluids, dredging, sand mining or pumping sludge in the form of sediment obtained during washing of ore.
