Choosing the right slurry pump is like choosing the best tool for the job. It takes a bit of research of the product and knowing your application. In doing this you will be able to determine the best performing pump for your operation with the best total cost of ownership.  

To begin the pump selection process, there are four pieces of information that are required to get a basic pump size and calculate motor power:  

  • Flow Rate 
  • Head (pipeline information) 
  • Specific gravity of slurry 
  • Particle size

If you don't have this information on hand, start with the condition and application.
