Process Pumps
Process pumps are a broad category of pumps used in many different industries to move fluids and semi-solids from point A to point B. Applications for these pumps include moving water, chemicals, mud, or other substances.
What does a process pump include?
While there are many types of process pumps, most have the same basic components. A typical system will include a prime mover, such as a gas-powered engine or an electrical motor. It may also include a gearbox, direct coupled or V-belt drive to help decrease the speed of the pump.
Mechanical Seal
A mechanical seal is simply a method of containing fluid within a vessel (typically pumps, mixers, etc.) where a rotating shaft passes through a stationary housing or occasionally, where the housing rotates around the shaft.
Slurry Pumps
A slurry pump is also known as a lined pump or dredge pump and is a centrifugal pump for transporting a fluid handled containing highly abrasive solids such as flotations, suspensions of slag, coal or ore in mining and sinter sludges, or in sand and gravel extraction. They are particularly heavily exposed to erosive wear.
