SLURRY HANDLING
Heavy-Duty Slurry Pump
Heavy wear components. A duty-led selection.
The AMM heavy-duty slurry pump uses thick wear components and a heavy bearing frame for abrasive slurry duties. Describe the solids, concentration, flow and head so that wetted materials, shaft sealing and the drive arrangement can be reviewed together.

Slurry severity
Solids density, concentration, hardness, shape and size distribution.
Operating envelope
Normal flow and head, low-flow operation, starts per day and expected process changes.
Serviceability
Wet-end access, lifting capacity, liner replacement method and initial wear spares.
The source describes heavy-duty construction but does not establish a separate AMM performance table. AM model ratings are not transferred to this pump.

Heavy-Duty Slurry Pump construction and operation
The heavy-duty slurry direction is grouped with the horizontal AM family in the supplied manual. The construction discussion identifies thick wear components and a heavy bearing frame for demanding slurry transfer. The hydraulic duty, particle properties and wear-material choice still determine whether a proposed pump is suitable.
Dense slurry can change absorbed power and wear behaviour. Describe the solids concentration by weight or volume, the liquid and solids densities, the maximum particle size and the normal operating range. Replacement access, liner availability and the maintenance method should be considered alongside the initial pump selection.

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
Wear components and material grade selected for the abrasive slurry and confirmed assembly.
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.

Typical applications
Application descriptions are selection contexts. Suitability depends on the selected equipment and actual process conditions.
Mineral-processing transfer
Assess abrasive process streams using the actual particle distribution and full operating envelope.
Tailings systems
Include concentration variability and the pipeline resistance as part of the wear and power review.
Industrial solids circuits
Identify duty cycle and maintenance constraints where repeated solids transfer places demands on the wet end.
