Slurry pumps, also known as slurry handling pumps or slurry transfer pumps, are specially engineered centrifugal pumps used for transporting abrasive slurry mixtures. A slurry is a semi-solid mix of liquid and solid particles like sand, rocks, minerals or sludge. The solid content in slurries can be as high as 70% by weight.
Compared to clear liquid pumps, slurry pumps require specialized design features and materials to withstand accelerated wear from the constant flow of abrasive solids. Key components like the casing, impeller, shaft sleeve and liner are made of highly wear-resistant materials to ensure reliable, long-lasting performance.

At our company, we offer several types of slurry pumps customized for different operating requirements:
Our workhorse horizontal slurry pumps are ideal for general slurry handling and transfer duties across mining, mineral processing, construction and other rugged applications. Available in various metal compositions like chrome iron, elastomer-lined or rubber-lined constructions.
These arrive pit-mounted or longshaft configurations suitable for sumps, tanks and deep mining operations. The vertical design allows for submerged installation while the motor remains safely above ground. Our vertical slurry pumps come in hard iron, chrome iron or rubber-lined wet ends.
Specially engineered for pumping frothy slurries like those encountered in flotation processes within mineral concentration plants. Proprietary anti-gashing features and specialized air-handling design allow these pumps to handle aerated media effectively.
Designed for feeding slurry to filter presses, these pumps have extremely wear-resistant polyurethane or chrome iron components to tackle highly abrasive filter cake slurries over extended periods
Our line of heavy-duty dredge slurry pumps are engineered for continuous tough duty in dredging applications like land reclamation and underwater mining. Abrasion-resistant materials coupled with enhanced suction design enable reliable dredged slurry handling.
Our robust sand gravel pumps are specifically engineered for efficiently handling abrasive materials such as sand and gravel in applications ranging from dredging to mining, featuring durable construction and available in various configurations to suit different operational needs.
Our high-performance pulp pumps are designed for efficient handling of pulp and paper stock in industries such as pulp and paper manufacturing, offering reliable operation and customizable configurations to meet diverse processing requirements.
The material composition of a slurry pump's wetted parts is crucial in determining its wear life and suitability for the slurry being handled. At First Pump, our slurry pumps feature wet ends made from:
Our engineers carefully evaluate the slurry composition, pump operating parameters and erosion rates to recommend the optimal material solution.
When specifying a slurry pump, multiple interrelated factors must be considered:
