Centrifugal slurry pumps
Various configurations of slurry pumps are used in mineral processing plants. The main cost item for such operations is water, which has a direct impact not only on TCO, but also on the cost of production and, consequently, on the overall company value.
When pumps are used, the amount of water consumed can be as high as 1000 m3/h, which entails significant expenses, especially when using traditional sealing fluid technology. For this technology to work, it is necessary to maintain a pressure that is 70 kPa higher than the pump discharge pressure, which results in high energy and water consumption, reaching tens of thousands of liters per day. Moreover, this technology has a significant drawback in the form of water leakage and which contaminates the slurry, complicating the production process and increasing the costs.
Using a combined mechanical seal with an expeller can significantly reduce operating costs and free up clean water for other important purposes. Centrifugal (or Expeller) seals are a more reliable and cost-effective alternative to traditional gland seals in pumps. They eliminate water in the slurry, are easy to maintain and require less operating costs.
Principle of operation
TAPP Group 's slurry pumps utilize patented non-pressurized mechanical seal technology with self-circulating coolant and expeller in the shaft seal.
The expeller seals the pump shaft by rotating with the impeller and creating a depression zone that pushes the sludge away from the shaft seal. A storage tank is provided to provide lubrication and cooling for the seal, eliminating the need to connect external water supply systems. The coolant from the circulation system rushes to the depressurized zone, bypasses the expeller and returns back to the tank, thus recirculating. The mechanical seal counters any possible leaks, ensuring a completely leak-proof system. The use of this technology prevents solids from entering the mechanical seal cavity, reduces the need for cooling water, reduces wear and tear on the mechanical seal ring, and eliminates the cost of building and maintaining utilities to supply water to the pumps. Which positively impacts the total cost of ownership of the equipment.
Benefits
By utilizing these pumps, we will not only reduce water consumption, but also get other gains.
Maintenance is a major part of the cost. It includes spare parts, labor, and unearned profits when equipment is idle for repairs. This is why it is essential to ensure a long service life of the equipment and its components.
The impeller has a large diameter and is designed with a two-phase solid-liquid velocity ratio technology. This increases its service life, reduces energy consumption and increases the efficiency. Moreover, the impeller and internal pump surfaces in contact with the water medium are protected by wear-resistant ceramic. Its service life is 3-10 times longer than wear-resistant alloys with high chromium content, and its hardness reaches 9 on the Mohs scale to minimize cavitation damage and ensure long equipment life.
The TAPP Group slurry pump is wear and cavitation resistant. It helps to abate the costs and grow the company value. By using it, you will not only optimize your production, but also provide yourself with reliable equipment that will free up your time and attention for more important tasks.
