What is a horizontal slurry pump?
A horizontal slurry pump is a مضخة طرد مركزي designed to convey abrasive or corrosive slurries containing solid particles. Unlike standard clean-water pumps, its hydraulic components, flow-passing parts, and bearing system are all designed for heavy-duty applications.
The PGY series features a single-stage, single-suction, horizontal centrifugal design. The pump body employs a double-casing design: the outer layer withstands pressure, whilst the inner flow-passing components are replaceable. This design eliminates the need to dismantle the inlet and outlet piping during maintenance, making on-site replacement of wear parts highly convenient.
The impeller diameter directly determines the head. The PGY series can achieve a maximum head of approximately 100 metres. Discharge diameters range from 40 mm to 400 mm, covering common applications from fine-particle to tailings conveyance.

Advantages of the Horizontal Slurry Pump
High Head
The PGY series features a design with a larger impeller diameter, delivering a maximum single-stage head of approximately 100 metres. For applications requiring long distances or significant elevation differences, there is no need to connect multiple pumps in series, resulting in a simpler system.
Flow-passing components made from high-chromium alloys
We do not use a single material across the board. BTMCr27, BTMCr28 and BTMCr33 are selected to suit different levels of corrosion and wear. For example, BTMCr28 is used for FGD applications where pH is below 4, whilst BTMCr33 is used for strong acids containing oxygen. Other options include austenitic stainless steel and duplex stainless steel.
Dual-casing structure
The outer casing bears the pressure, whilst the inner flow components (impeller, sleeve, and front and rear wear plates) can be replaced individually. During on-site replacement, there is no need to disconnect the inlet and outlet piping, significantly reducing maintenance time.
Flexible shaft seal solutions
Auxiliary impeller + packing seal: Low-pressure flushing water is sufficient, with simple maintenance
Packing seal only: When no auxiliary impeller is present, higher-pressure flushing water is required
Double-face mechanical seal: Zero-leakage requirement
Auxiliary impeller + mechanical seal: Reduces seal chamber pressure, requiring lower flushing water pressure

Engineer‘s Notes
- BTMCr27: Standard wear-resistant choice for iron ore, copper ore, coal slurry, and neutral or mildly corrosive conditions.
- BTMCr28: Specifically designed for FGD applications where slurry pH < 4 and chloride content is present.
- BTMCr33: Used for severe combined corrosion and wear, such as phosphoric acid slurry (pH ≥ 1) and oxygen-containing media.
- Duplex Stainless Steel: Recommended when chloride concentration is extremely high or when high chrome alloys cannot tolerate the chemical environment.
Shaft Seal Type
Shaft seal is one of the most critical components in a centrifugal slurry pump. PGY offers four sealing options. Selection depends on flushing water pressure, leakage requirement, and site conditions.
Gland packing with auxiliary impeller double seal
The auxiliary impeller acts as a turbine, reducing the pressure of slurry escaping from the rear of the impeller. The gland packing seal serves as a secondary seal, where multiple packing rings are compressed by the stuffing box and wear-resistant sleeve, requiring only low-pressure flushing water.
This is the standard sealing type for PGY pumps, offering easy maintenance and low cost.
Gland packing seal
Where an impeller is not applicable, a soft gland packing seal is used. Several soft packing rings are compressed by the stuffing box and wear-resistant sleeve.
Since there is no auxiliary impeller to reduce pressure by centrifugal action, higher-pressure flushing water must be introduced into the packing through a water seal ring to cool the packing and prevent casing leakage.
مانع تسرب ميكانيكي
A mechanical seal consists of a stationary face and a rotating face, which are pressed together under mechanical and hydraulic forces to prevent leakage.
It provides the best sealing performance and is used in zero-leakage conditions.
The PGY pump adopts a double mechanical seal, requiring the flushing water pressure to be higher than the pressure in the sealing chamber.
Mechanical seal with auxiliary impeller
An auxiliary impeller is installed between the mechanical seal and the impeller. The auxiliary impeller acts as a turbine, reducing the pressure in the sealing chamber. Therefore, this sealing arrangement requires a lower flushing water pressure than a conventional mechanical seal, as long as a good water flow is maintained.
Important Note
The above types of shaft seals require appropriate flushing water. The flow rate and pressure of the flushing water will depend on the pump parameters. For other special shaft seal options, please contact us.
Shaft Seal Selection Guide
| نوع الختم | Flushing Water Pressure Requirement | Leakage Level | Recommended Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gland packing with auxiliary impeller | منخفضة | Slight dripping | Standard configuration; sites with limited water pressure |
| Gland packing only | عالية | Slight dripping | Applications where auxiliary impeller is not applicable |
| مانع تسرب ميكانيكي مزدوج | Higher than seal chamber pressure | عدم وجود تسرب | Strict environmental requirements; no drip allowed |
| Mechanical seal with auxiliary impeller | Lower than conventional mechanical seal | عدم وجود تسرب | Zero leakage required but flushing water pressure is limited |

How to Select the Right Horizontal Slurry Pump
Four Questions to Filter Out Unsuitable Pumps
Selection is not about picking the max flow from a catalog. Answer these four questions in order, and you will narrow down to 2-3 candidate models.
Question 1: What is the slurry composition?
- Solid particle type (sharp / rounded), concentration (wt%), maximum particle size
- pH value, chloride content, oxygen presence or not
| حالة الطين | المواد الموصى بها |
|---|---|
| pH ≥ 6, neutral or mildly corrosive | BTMCr27 |
| pH < 4, FGD or chloride-containing | BTMCr28 |
| pH 1~4, oxygen-containing (e.g., phosphoric acid) | BTMCr33 |
| High chloride or strong acid | Duplex stainless steel |
Question 2: What are the hydraulic parameters?
- Design flow rate (m³/h)
- Required head (m)
- Must check: NPSHa > pump NPSHr
PGY single-stage head reaches approximately 100 meters maximum. If required head exceeds 70 meters, prioritize high-head models such as 150PGY-50 or 200PGY-65. If head is below 40 meters, consider speed reduction or smaller impeller options to avoid motor oversizing.
Question 3: What is the on-site flushing water condition?
| Flushing Water Pressure | Leakage Requirement | Recommended Seal |
|---|---|---|
| Low pressure (<2 bar) | Slight dripping allowed | Gland packing with auxiliary impeller (standard) |
| High pressure (≥3 bar) | Slight dripping allowed | Gland packing only |
| Any pressure | عدم وجود تسرب | مانع تسرب ميكانيكي مزدوج |
| Low pressure (<2 bar) | عدم وجود تسرب | Mechanical seal with auxiliary impeller |
Question 4: What is the site maintenance practice?
- Is periodic gland packing adjustment acceptable?
- Are spare parts replaced in-house or outsourced?
- Is there budget for stocking common wetted parts?
If on-site maintenance capability is limited, choose gland packing with auxiliary impeller – the simplest to maintain. If maintenance-free operation is required, mechanical seal is more suitable, but stable flushing water supply must be guaranteed.
Selection Summary
| Priority | Decision Item | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Slurry pH / chloride content | Determine material (Cr27/Cr28/Cr33/duplex SS) |
| 2 | Flow rate + head | Determine model and speed |
| 3 | Flushing water pressure + leakage requirement | Determine seal type |
| 4 | NPSHa vs NPSHr | Check cavitation margin |
