The Difference Between Mud Pumps And Slurry Pumps

Mud pump and slurry pump are both a kind of impurity pump. What are the differences between these two pumps that make it difficult for users to choose?

 

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MUD PUMPS AND SLURRY PUMPS


1. The difference in working principles

The working principle of the mud pump is that the motor drives the piston through the link mechanism, which causes the change of the enclosed volume in the mud pump, and forms the change of the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the pump, thereby completing the water absorption and drainage process; while the working principle of the wear-resisting slurry pump is that the motor drives the impeller to rotate, that is, the impeller works on the slurry to increase the kinetic energy of the slurry.

 

2. The difference in the pumped medium

Mud pump, as the earliest pump type, is generally made of cast iron. Its wear resistance is low. As an important part of drilling machinery, it can only be used to transport mud or slurry that contains suspended particles. Slurry pumps are mainly used in the mining industry to transport slag-containing slurry, they can also be used to transport slurry.

 

3. The mud pump needs to be equipped with auxiliary equipment, while the slurry pump does not need

When mud pumps work, they often need to be used in conjunction with high-pressure clean water pumps. High-pressure pumps can deliver clean water that exceeds the pressure of the mud pumps to the leak-proof packing to protect the packing, otherwise, it is easy to wear the sealing part; while the wear-resisting slurry pump can complete the conveying work alone, without help from other auxiliary equipment.

 

4. The difference in application areas

Due to the different application mediums of the two pumps, the application fields will also vary. Slurry pumps are mainly used in metallurgy, electric power, mining, coal, and other industrial sectors to transport slurry with solid particles; while mud pumps are mainly used to transport suspended slurry in drilling, pharmaceutical, brewing, papermaking, and other industries.

SGB​ has resin sand, lost foam and V process casting production lines, realizing the mass production of core castings of pump products with high quality.

   How to clean a graphite crucible ? Graphite crucibles are indispensable tools in various industries, including metallurgy, jewelry making, and chemical research. These crucibles offer excellent resistance to high temperatures and corrosive substances, making them ideal for melting and containing metals and other materials. However, with repeated use, graphite crucibles can accumulate residues and impurities that can affect their performance. Proper cleaning and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity and efficiency of these crucibles. In this article, we will delve into the art of cleaning graphite crucibles effectively. Safety First: Precautions Before Cleaning Before embarking on the cleaning process, it's imperative to prioritize safety. Graphite crucibles are often used for handling extremely hot substances and can contain hazardous residues. Here are some safety precautions to consider: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear appropriate PPE, including heat-resi

What Is The Best Vinyl Coated Wire Mesh and Fence?

  Be Wary of Weld Points   You want to put up a  wire mesh fence . Which one should you choose? There are so many different types of fencing materials available. The fence's function, the task you want it to perform, will be a large determining factor in the selection process. Factors that will impact the functioning of your fence:     ㆍWire gauge ㆍMesh opening size ㆍHeight   With few exceptions, wire fences have either a galvanized or a vinyl-coated finish. Usually, the vinyl is applied to the previously galvanized wire. The important question is whether the  wire mesh under the vinyl coating  is galvanized before it's welded, or if the mesh is galvanized after it is welded. Why is this important?   When galvanized wire is welded into a mesh, the protective zinc is burned off at the weld points where the wires intersect. This leaves the wires unprotected, exposed to both the air and any corrosive elements that may come in contact with them. Moisture tends to concentrate in the

  Selecting the right replacement shale shaker screen is crucial for maintaining efficient solids control and maximizing drilling performance in the oil and gas industry. Here are some key steps to guide you through the selection process: Understand Your Requirements: Before selecting a  replacement shale shaker screen , it's essential to understand your specific drilling requirements, including drilling conditions, fluid properties, wellbore geometry, and drilling objectives. Consider factors such as the type and size of solid particles in the drilling fluid, desired flow rates, and performance expectations. Evaluate Screen Performance: Assess the performance characteristics of the existing shale shaker screens, including screen mesh size, conductance, screen area, and filtration efficiency. Determine whether the current screens meet your drilling objectives or if there is a need for improvement in terms of solids removal capacity and fluid handling capabilities. Consider Screen M
