A lead-zinc smelting company experienced frequent failures in its filter press feeding system due to severe wear and corrosion of the existing slurry pump. The pumped medium contained high concentrations of abrasive solid particles and corrosive chemicals, resulting in repeated shutdowns, leakage, and excessive maintenance costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After technical discussions during the Chengdu Lead-Zinc Industry Conference<\/a>, the customer agreed to replace the original equipment with one UHB-ZK UHMWPE slurry pump<\/a><\/strong> for on-site testing to verify its suitability for the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The filter press system was used to transfer corrosive lead-zinc slurry with a high solid content. The operating conditions created severe abrasion and chemical corrosion on the pump\u2019s wetted parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The original slurry pump suffered from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The customer had to stop production 2\u20133 times per month for maintenance and replacement, causing significant production losses and high repair costs. In addition, slurry leakage created environmental compliance risks within the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on the working conditions, we recommended the UHB-ZK UHMWPE slurry pump<\/a><\/strong> as a replacement solution for the filter press feeding application.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCustomer Challenges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
