Heavy Duty Sludge Pumps (HDS)

Description
Heavy Duty Sludge Pumps (HDS) are used to transfer solids and liquids containing sand and heavy petroleum materials, paper manufacturing, construction material slurry, steel manufacturing, and mining. It is almost identical in appearance to centrifugal pumps, which can move liquids around particles depending on the impeller type.
One of these pumps’ most distinguishing features is replaceable wear parts. Due to the fluid nature of materials resistant to abrasion and chemical corrosion, these pumps’ impellers can be changed from alloy cast iron to stainless steel. They are intended for use at 960rpm, 1450rpm, and 2900rpm.
Horizontal centrifugal pumps feature a scroll case, a single floor, a single head impeller, a separate motor, and a single central suction. Dynamically balanced, the impeller is wrapped in graphite tape, and the shaft is sealed.
The thrust chamber flange is oriented upward and is located on the left when viewed from the engine. External fluid can cool the sealing components of this type of pump if necessary. Graphite and mechanical fluid strips are typically used to seal this type of pump.
Standard bearings or heavy-duty bearings are used in these pumps due to the specific weight and relatively high viscosity of pumpable fluids.
Heavy Duty Sludge Pumps (HDS) applications include the following :
It is suitable for pumping liquids such as drilling mud, muddy water (containing sand), the slurry of construction materials, wax solution, steel rolling industries, paper manufacturing, and mines, and pumping liquids containing high abrasion particles.
