Build the selection around your duty
Liquid and fine solids
Liquid chemistry, temperature, solids concentration and particle-size distribution.
Hydraulic sizing
Required flow and total head, suction conditions and normal operating range.
Impeller and assembly
Applicable impeller type, wet-end materials, sealing and model-specific installation drawing.
The supplied manual provides a light-duty introduction and construction drawing, but no separate AML numerical selection table.
Need a model-specific curve?
Provide the actual slurry and operating point so the proposed model, speed and material can be reviewed together.
Light-Duty Slurry Pump construction and operation
The light-duty slurry pump is described for finer particles, lower-concentration slurry and compatible corrosive liquids. Its selection emphasis differs from the heavy-duty direction: liquid chemistry, the particle distribution and the operating point must suit the lighter arrangement.
The manual includes a dedicated light-duty structure drawing showing the bearing assembly, packing box, pump body, cover, volute liner, throatbush and impeller. Impeller construction varies with size in that source, so the selected configuration needs its own drawing. A light-duty label is not permission to run outside the selected curve or material limits.
- ✓A distinct light-duty arrangementUse the dedicated construction drawing rather than treating this as a renamed heavy-duty pump.
- ✓Fine-particle duty assessmentDescribe the concentration range and particle distribution, including occasional oversized solids.
- ✓Chemistry and material reviewSpecify liquid constituents and temperature before choosing a metal or elastomer wet end.
Components, materials and seals
Impeller
Review impeller construction and material against the solids, speed and hydraulic duty. Use the selected model parts schedule.
Casing & wear parts
Metal or elastomer configuration subject to the selected size, slurry and material schedule.
Shaft sealing
Select the applicable seal around inlet pressure, liquid chemistry and utility availability. Seal options require the selected assembly.
Bearing assembly
Coordinate shaft support, alignment, lubrication and transmission loads. Keep access for inspection and maintenance.

Installation & drive arrangement
Direct-coupled arrangement
Confirm the selected speed and motor arrangement, common-base alignment and removal clearances. The drawing must match the proposed set.
Transmission & speed review
Where a belt arrangement is proposed, review ratio, absorbed power, tensioning, guarding and foundation loads for the selected equipment.
- ✓Foundation and alignment

Typical applications
Application descriptions are selection contexts. Suitability depends on the selected equipment and actual process conditions.
Fine mineral slurries
Review process water, reagents and fine solids as one mixture when selecting the wet end.
Dilute slurry transfer
Include both normal concentration and the temporary process conditions expected at start-up or shutdown.
Compatible process liquids
Corrosive-liquid suitability depends on the actual material and chemistry; provide the full liquid specification.
