The classification of slurry pumps can be divided from multiple angles, including working principle, conveying medium, number of impellers, relative position of pump shaft and horizontal plane, feeding method, pump casing structure, etc. The following is a detailed description of the classification of slurry pumps: ‌

‌1. According to the working principle‌: Slurry pumps are a type of centrifugal pumps, which rely on the rotation of the impeller in the pump chamber to drive the slurry to generate centrifugal force, increase its energy and transport it.

‌2. According to the different conveying media‌: Centrifugal pumps can be divided into clean water pumps, solution pumps and slurry pumps.

‌3. According to the number of impellers‌: It can be divided into single-stage impeller slurry pumps and multi-stage impeller slurry pumps.

‌4. According to the relative position of the slurry pump shaft and the horizontal plane‌: It can be divided into horizontal slurry pumps and vertical slurry pumps.

‌5. According to the feeding method‌: It can be divided into single-suction feeding slurry pumps and double-suction feeding slurry pumps.

‌6. According to the structure of the pump casing‌: It can be divided into horizontal split type and vertical combination type.

‌7. According to the structural form: There are horizontal structure, vertical structure and submersible structure. Horizontal slurry pump is a more commonly used structural form, and its pump shaft runs parallel to the horizontal plane. Suitable for different working conditions, horizontal slurry pumps are divided into heavy-duty slurry pumps and light-duty slurry pumps. The outer layer of the pump head of the heavy-duty slurry pump is composed of double pump shells, which is suitable for strong abrasive working conditions.
