Discover how slurry pumps enable critical operations across 5 key industries. EVERGREEN’s engineered solutions for abrasive, corrosive & high-solid slurries.
The Critical Role of Slurry Pumps in Modern Industry
Engineered to handle abrasive, high-density suspensions (up to 70% solids), industrial slurry pumps maintain process continuity where standard pumps fail. EVERGREEN’s heavy-duty designs withstand extreme wear in these core sectors:
Industry-Specific Solutions
1. Mining & Mineral Processing
Applications: Ore transfer, tailings disposal, mill discharge
Key Challenges
- Ultra-abrasive silica/iron ore particles (d50: 0.5-15mm)
- 24/7 operation with <4% downtime tolerance
- EVERGREEN Solution:
- Cr27-lined vertical sump pumps + A49 throat bushes
- HPK kits extend wear life by 40% in cyclone feed circuits
2. Construction & Infrastructure
- Materials Handled
Grout (SG: 2.1-2.4)
Concrete washout (20-40% solids)
Tunnel boring muck - Innovation: Rubber-lined impellers for aggregate impact resistance
3. Chemical Processing
| Fluid Type | Pump Material | Special Features |
| Acids (≤50%) | Hastelloy C276 | Sealless magnetic drive |
| Caustic slurries | Duplex stainless | Back-pullout design |
| Polymer gels | PTFE-coated | Low-shear impellers |
4. Agricultural & Bio-Processing
Key Applications
- Manure transfer (TS: 12-18%)
- Crop residue pumping
- Biogas digestate handling
Design Focus: Clog-resistant vortex impellers for fibrous materials
5. Power Generation
Critical Duties
- Bottom ash transport (60-70% solids)
- FGD slurry recirculation
- Fly ash conditioning
Material Upgrade Path
Baseline → A05 liners → HPK with Cr30 → 2.8x service life
