Difference between slurry pump and sand pump

11 Feb.,2025

Slurry pumps and sand pumps are two common types of pump equipment, which play an important role in industrial production. Although they are both used for transporting abrasive large particle media, there are some obvious differences in function, structure and scope of application.

2. Basic introduction

① ZH(R) slurry pump features:

It is mainly used for conveying slurry with high concentration containing solid particles, such as slurry in mining, coal, iron and steel mills and other industries, and maintains stability under harsh working conditions. A variety of materials can be selected according to different working conditions, with good abrasion resistance and chemical corrosion resistance, it is the first choice for handling slurry and tailing slurry.

② ZG sand pump features:

Mainly used for continuous conveying of strong abrasive materials whose particles are so large that general slurry pumps can not convey them, such as the conveying of large particles of sand quarrying, mining and metal smelting blast slag, etc. It is designed with high hardness alloy materials and thickened over-flow parts, which has excellent abrasion resistance and smooth operation.
