Slurry handling
Definition of a slurry
The mixture of solids and liquids is normally referred to as a ”slurry” or “pulp”!
A slurry can be described as a two phase medium (liquid/solid).
Slurry mixed with air (common in many chemical processes) is described as a
three phase fluid medium (liquid/solid/gas).
However, individual lumps of material passing through a large dredge pump can
be up to 350 mm (14 inch) (depending of the dimensioning of the wet end).
Slurry handling
Size ranges are:
Mud/clay minus 2 microns
Silt 2-50 microns
Sand, fine 50-100 microns (270 - 150 mesh)
Sand, medium 100-500 microns (150 - 32 mesh)
Sand, coarse 500-2000 microns (32-9 mesh)
Sand & Gravel pumps cover pumping of shingle and gravel in the 2-8 mm
(9 - 2,5 mesh) size range
Gravel pumps cover pumping of solid sizes up to 50 mm (2 inch).
Dredge pumps cover pumping of solid sizes up to and above 50 mm (2 inch).
All Slurry Pumps are in practice named after the given application:
• Slurry Pumps • Gravel pumps • Dredge pumps • Sump pumps • Froth pumps
• Carbon Transfer pumps • Submersible pumps
Slurry Pump designs are selected and supplied according to the wear conditions
• Highly abrasive • Abrasive • Mildly abrasive

agitation is required
• Providing both axial and radial flow and high shear.
• Higher (30-40%) power consumption than MIL®
• High shear applications

circuiting internal baffles as
option
• Typical application is flotation
(mixing of flotation reagents, Ph
adjustment)
• Single MIL® with draft tube
• Double MIL® without draft tube

Slurry handling
resulting in scrubbing, surface cleaning and disintegration of agglomerates.
Typical applications:
Removal of Fe stains from sand particles. Disintegration of clay agglomerates in
sand. Delamination of minerals such as Kaolin and Graphite. Blunging or slurrifying
of dry clay prior to wet processing. Oil/Sand separation. Lime Slaking.

There is just one rule for lay-outs of slurry hoses and pipes, but a golden one.
“ Never use sharp bends when connecting them hydraulically! ”
