Slurry pumps are special pumps engineered for handling slurries. Unlike water pumps, slurry pumps are subject to high wear so they are made more robust and heavy duty.
There are several types of slurry pumps, the most common being centrifugal pumps and positive displacement pumps. Centrifugal slurry pumps, which can deliver high capacity with limited head, are mostly used in pumping slurry through pipelines at concentrations below 70% solids by weight. Meanwhile, positive displacement slurry pumps, which can deliver high heads with limited capacity, are used in pumping slurry through pipelines with a very high concentrations of solids.
