Protecting, rebuilding and repairing mining equipment: wear-resistant ceramic coatings: to deliver long-term protection from wear, abrasion, chemical attack and corrosion, epoxy-based wear-resistant coatings containing ceramic fillers can be applied to vulnerable metal surfaces to protect them and minimize planned and unplanned downtime
Operating a pump below or above BEP parameters can produce a number of problems ranging from premature bearing, packing, or gland failure to accelerated wear on impeller vane edges.
New pumps can tame tough slurry tasks
Case in point, as illustrated by process equipment supplier Weir Minerals: Centrifugal pump impeller vanes are designed to meet the incoming flow and accelerate the fluid.
Strategizing to Cut Wear Costs and Problems: Check out these new products, systems and tips to handle critical anti-wear applications
Any vapor bubbles formed by the pressure drop are swept along the impeller vanes by the flow of the fluid.
Maximising pump efficiency: industrial processes across the globe require pumps to operate reliably and efficiently. The latest pump designs and coating technologies offer significant improvements in the long-term performance of industrial pumps. By minimising the effects of corrosion and erosion, users can enhance productivity and reduce running costs. PWE reports
This tooth helps break up stringy materials such as rags, scrapes them off the impeller vanes and passes them through the pump - all without impacting performance or interrupting service.
Gorman-Rupp's Eradicator[TM] System Solves Lismore City Pump Problems
Because of the interest of a broad based efficiency range for varying building loads, the effect that the number of impeller vanes and their orientation has on off-design conditions (Johnson 2006) was a pump hydraulic characteristic that was considered during the hydraulic design phase.

Smoother inlet flow and uniform velocities within the impeller vanes significantly lowers the net positive suction head (NPSH) characteristics, extends inlet and associated throatbush wear life, and improves overall performance.
Slurry pump upgrades: with more operations considering thickened slurries, pump makers offer new designs that improve wear life and reduce power consumption
The removable basket strainer catches any foreign material which might clog the impeller or cause damage to the impeller vanes or pump seals.
Waste not, want not: SERFILCO has been around for 40 years, and is continuing to provide great service to its customers
The semi-open, self-cleaning design keeps the leading edges of the impeller vanes unobstructed, where fouling often sets the stage for clogging.
Treatment plant forges strong process chain
Cavitation is most likely to occur at the pump inlet, near the eye of the impeller, and along the trailing sides of the impeller vanes.
