PRODUCT INFORMATION

SlurryPro horizontal centrifugal slurry pumps are heavy-duty pumps engineered for abrasive and high-density slurry transfer. With flows up to1550 L/sec and heads up to approximately100 metres, the range can accommodate both smaller transfer duties and large-scale mineral processing applications.

The pumps are available with high-chrome, polyurethane or rubber wear components to suit different slurry characteristics and operating conditions. Options include high-chrome, polyurethane or rubber impellers, liners and throat bushes, depending on the pump configuration.

Heavy-duty bearings and robust shaft construction support reliable operation in demanding conditions, while cartridge-type bearing assemblies and split casings provide easier access during servicing, helping simplify maintenance and reduce downtime.

The horizontal slurry pump range uses these sealing options gland packing, expeller seal & mechanical seal with overhead-mounted, side-mounted and long-coupled motor configurations available. These mounting options provide flexibility when integrating the pump into new or existing systems

Final pump selection will take into account the required flow and head, solids concentration, particle size, specific gravity, temperature, abrasiveness, operating speed, wear material, sealing requirements and installation conditions.

Horizontal slurry pump spare parts

Global Pumps stocks genuine SlurryPro horizontal slurry pump spare parts, including impellers, casing liners, shaft units, bearings and seals in hard metal and elastomer materials, compatible with most common slurry pump brands.

See our horizontal slurry pump spare parts page for the full range.

Why choose Global Pumps for a slurry pump

We match configuration, materials and seal type to your flow, solids and chemical exposure, rather than fitting every application to one pump design. Where a centrifugal slurry pump isn't the right technology for your duty, we'll tell you, and point you toward a better option.

Our technical service team, based in South Australia, supports SlurryPro installations through commissioning, maintenance and spare parts.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

Horizontal slurry pumps operate on the centrifugal pumping principle. As the impeller rotates, slurry entering through the suction inlet is directed towards the eye of the impeller, where rotational energy is transferred from the motor to the fluid.

The slurry moves radially outward through the impeller and into the pump casing, increasing its velocity and pressure before being directed through the discharge.

Unlike standard centrifugal pumps designed primarily for clean liquids, horizontal centrifugal slurry pumps use heavy-duty components and wear-resistant materials to withstand the abrasive solids commonly encountered in slurry applications.

APPLICATIONS

Horizontal slurry pumps are suited to demanding applications where abrasive or solids-laden fluids need to be transferred reliably. Used across mining, mineral processing and industrial operations, typical applications include:

Mining and mineral processing: mill discharge, tailings transfer, cyclone feed, flotation circuit feed, thickener underflow
Quarries and aggregates: sand washing and recycling, wash plant slurry, sediment transfer
Coal processing: wash plants, tailings and reject handling
Metallurgical processing: corrosive coarse-particle transfer, high-concentration slurry
Chemical slurry pump applications: corrosive and abrasive slurry transfer, where liner material needs to be matched to the specific chemical, concentration and temperature involved. Confirm compatibility with our engineering team before specifying.
General industry: dewatering, sludge transfer, and abrasive processes including food washing

FAQs

What is a horizontal slurry pump?

A horizontal slurry pump is a heavy-duty centrifugal pump designed to transfer liquids containing abrasive or suspended solids. Unlike a standard water pump, its construction and wear components are designed to withstand the increased abrasion associated with slurry pumping.

How does a horizontal slurry pump work?

The rotating impeller transfers energy to the slurry, moving it from the suction inlet through the casing and towards the discharge. This centrifugal action generates the flow and pressure required to move the slurry through the pumping system.

What is the difference between a horizontal slurry pump and a standard centrifugal pump?

Both operate using the centrifugal pumping principle, but slurry pumps are built specifically for abrasive and solids-containing fluids. They typically incorporate heavier-duty construction and replaceable wear-resistant components to cope with conditions that can rapidly wear a conventional centrifugal pump.

Are horizontal slurry pumps available with rubber or high-chrome liners?

Yes. The range includes both rubber and high-chrome configurations, depending on pump size and model. Several configurations use matching liner and impeller materials, while larger models can also incorporate replaceable throat bushes.

How do I choose between rubber and high-chrome wear parts?

Material selection depends on the characteristics of the slurry and operating conditions. Factors such as abrasiveness, particle characteristics and chemical compatibility should be considered when selecting wear materials. Global Pumps can assess the application requirements and recommend a suitable configuration.

What sizes of horizontal slurry pump are available?

Pump sizes extend from compact 1x0.75 configurations through to 20x18 heavy-duty pumps. Available suction and discharge sizes, motor power, maximum speed and wear materials vary between configurations.

What mounting configurations are available?

The horizontal slurry pump range can be configured with overhead-mounted, side-mounted or long-coupled motors, allowing the installation arrangement to be selected to suit the available space and system requirements.

What makes the best industrial horizontal slurry pump?

The best industrial horizontal slurry pump comes down to its mechanical components. Consider each of the following when choosing a slurry pump for your industrial needs:

Impeller – The impeller is made either out of elastomer or chrome and is the main rotary component which should have vanes to impart centrifugal force to the liquid.
Casing – The casing should allow for high operation pressure capabilities. For this, the casing should be either semi volute or concentric.
Shaft and bearing assembly – It should contain a large diameter shaft with a short overhang designed to minimize deflection and the vibration.
Shaft sleeve – A hardened and corrosion resistant sleeve with O-rings to protect the shaft is essential to the slurry pump.
Shaft seal – this should either be a mechanical seal, packing seal or an expeller seal.

Does Global Pumps offer spares for slurry pumps?

Yes. We stock interchangeable replacement parts to suit most common slurry pump brands:

Impellers: hard metal and elastomer
Casing liners: hard metal and elastomer
Shaft units
Bearings
Seals and sealing systems

Our technical service division is based in South Australia, covering engineering support, maintenance and repairs for horizontal, vertical and froth slurry pumps.
