Regular maintenance of the slurry pump
can extend the wear life, help avoid unplanned downtime, and reduce the
total operating costs for the end user. In the severe beneficiation
field, the industrial slurry pump usually runs to a critical point
before maintenance. This may seem beneficial in the short term, but in
the long term, it will have an adverse effect on your plant.
Regularly monitoring the performance
characteristics of the pump allows you to understand its operation in a
timely manner, and provide sufficient time to make maintenance plans to
avoid failures and unexpected shutdowns.
From a prevention point of view, regular
inspections need to be performed during pump operation to ensure that it
runs for a longer period of time. If an abnormal sound is detected, a
leak is found, or a temperature or vibration peak is identified, more
comprehensive maintenance is required during the planned shutdown period
before the failure.
Every running machine will vibrate: Put
your hand on the refrigerator at home, when the motor is running, you
will feel a slight vibration. For most machines, vibration is one of the
early indicators of the normal operation of the machine, so it is one
of the important measures that require close monitoring.
The index of vibration speed varies from
pump to pump; when processing clean water, the maximum value of large
pumps is usually greater than that of medium pumps. When we introduce
solid matter into the fluid, the vibration will increase with the nature
of the mixture and working parameters. During routine inspections, we
usually refer to historical data to understand the acceptable vibration
range of a particular pump in a particular application.
Vibration monitoring is to track trends
on a regular basis to understand if there are obvious changes. Our
customer-facing technical team is familiar with these data and can tell
you when the equipment is approaching its useful life, or whether there
is a problem that requires urgent treatment. Once the wear life of the
