As a widely used equipment in the industrial field, pumps vary greatly in their structure, material, and other aspects due to the different liquids they transport. The pumps commonly used in the industrial field include water pumps, slurry pumps, etc. This article will focus on introducing slurry pumps that have a wide range of application scenarios.

Applicable Industries

The slurry pump is suitable for various industrial fields, including power, coal, metallurgy, mining, etc. The application situation in related industries is as follows.

Electricity: ash removal in power plants and transportation of various ash residues and slurries.

Coal: coal mining, washing, and transportation of various coal slurries.

Metallurgy: transportation of various slurries and slag slurries in aluminum and steel plants.

Mines: transportation of black and non-ferrous ore slurry, etc.

Building materials: aerated concrete engineering.

Chemical industry: transportation of various abrasive and corrosive slurries in chemical industry (such as phosphate fertilizer).

Environmental protection: transportation of abrasive and corrosive slurry for flue gas desulfurization (FGD).

River dredging: suction and discharge of lakes, silt, and high plastic clay, such as dredgers.

Foreign Development and Related Brands

The hydraulic transportation technology of solid objects in pipelines has a development history of over 120 years. Centrifugal slurry pumps are key equipment for pipeline hydraulic transportation, and they have developed with the development of pipeline hydraulic transportation technology. The research on centrifugal slurry pumps abroad can be generally divided into three development stages:

The first stage, from the 1930s to the 1960s, analyzed the motion of solid particles in the impeller.

The second stage, from the 1960s to the 1980s, experimental research was conducted to determine the mathematical model.

The third stage, from the 1980s to the present, mathematical models were established using electronic computers.

The main foreign brands of slurry pumps include:

Warman is one of the world's most well-known slurry pump brands, with products widely used in mining, metallurgy, coal, and other industries.

Metso provides a full range of slurry pump products, with its efficient and durable pump series widely used in mining and industrial fields.

KSB, KSB is a German pump manufacturer with a high reputation in the slurry pump field, and its products are widely used in various industries, including mining, chemical, power, etc.

In addition, there are also some other brands with good user feedback, such as Route, Xylem, Wili, EBARA, Grundfos, Sulzer, ROBERTSON, Krebs, etc.

Development and Related Brands of Slurry Pumps in China

In the 1970s, PH ash pumps, PS sand pumps, PJ rubber lined pumps, and PN mud pumps were widely used in target markets such as mines, coal, building materials, and electricity, with average service life and quality.

In the early 1980s, Shijiazhuang Water Pump Factory introduced the AH and HH slurry pump technology from Warman Company in Australia, which took nearly a decade to digest and absorb. The quality became increasingly stable, and the market share increased year by year.

In the early 1990s, the Tangshan Branch of China Coal Science Research Institute and Shijiazhuang Industrial Pump Factory jointly developed the ZJ series of new slurry pumps, which have high efficiency and stable operation. Currently, there are various forms of direct transmission, belt pulley transmission, hydraulic coupling transmission, multi-level series connection, reducer transmission, variable frequency motor transmission, and so on.

It must be mentioned here that Shijiazhuang Water Pump Factory introduced Warman pumps, and when the agency agreement expired, it evolved into a strong pump industry. Initially, product quality, pre-sales consulting, and after-sales service were very good, and the market share at home and abroad was also relatively high. However, due to the huge wealth brought by real estate to the strong pump industry, the main business of pumps was ignored, and well-known brands gradually declined in recent years.

And Shijiazhuang Industrial Pump Factory SGB has always adhered to its own business, gradually expanding from the power environmental protection and coal industry to the non-coal mining industry. The market has been doing better and better both in terms of product quality and brand service, from domestic to foreign, and has received unanimous praise from users.

I hope that more slurry pump enterprises can learn from SGB, focus on their own advantageous products, become more refined, stronger, and larger, and ultimately become international brands.

BUTTRESS ROOTS will provide the latest brand collection and supply to global mining users.
