Submersible pump is one of the common and widely used as sump pump. They’re usually smaller than the popular pedestal pump and only about 12 inches tall. Standard home models generally have a 115-volt motor offering between 1/3 and ½ horsepower. Submersible pumps are situated at the bottoms of their designated pit and are activated when water pushes a float switch up a few inches. Even though submersible pumps are automatically activated when water reaches the depth of a few inches, some models can be activated manually by the turn of a switch or the push of a button.
KOSUN vertical slurry pumps are mainly used in environmental protection, new type building materials,coal washing,municipal works, thermal power generation ,coal gas coking planet,refinery,mining,paper making,cement plant,food products factory and other filed to perform pumping thick oil, oil residue, dirty oil, mud, mortar, running sand and other liquids. It is also suitable for liquids with silt particle and corrosive liquid.
KOSUN’s submersible slurry pump
Features & Benefits of Kosun Submersible Slurry Pump:
1. The pump shaft under the liquid has enough rigidity. No bearing is set between impeller and pump. Shaft seal is not adopted, the medium with large density solids can also be transported.
2. The length of pump under the liquid between 800m-2500mm, match the suction piping if necessary. Vertical motor is installed on the motor base, connecting coupling with pumps.
Submersible slurry pump is a kind of centrifugal pump, and plays an important role in solids control system.
The following is the relevant solutions of breakdown of Submersible Slurry Pump:
Submersible slurry pump doesn’t absorb water.
The reasons that submersible slurry pump doesn’t absorb water have many possibility, the main reason is due to the damage of suction pipe block and impeller. To solve this problem, the main method is cleaning suction pipe blockage and repairing or replacing impeller.
Submersible slurry pump power is too large.
The reasons of too large submersible slurry pump power mainly include excessive packing compaction, friction in pump, the damage of bearing and too many pump roll. Solutions of the these reason are unscrewing packing gland bolt, adjusting the gap in pump, repairing or replacing damaged bearing, regulating the operation of pump.
Submersible slurry pump bearing fevers.
The reasons that submersible slurry pump bearing fevers generally are due to lubricating oil and bearing, including not clean lubricating oil, or too much or too little lubricating oil in bearing damaged bearing. The main solutions are using clean lubricating oil, according to the requirements to add lubricating oil for bearing, repairing or replacing with a new bearing.
Submersible slurry pump bearing life is short.
Submersible slurry pump bearing short life is due to the friction in pump, unbalanced impeller, foreign body in bearing, unreasonably equipping bearing, or center shaft is tortuous. Solutions are adjusting impeller balance or replacing new impeller, clearing bearing foreign body, equipping bearing again, changing center shaft.
Maintenance
Submersible pumps are a relatively maintenance-free device. The motors in quality submersible pumps are encased in watertight housings. Some are equipped with overload sensors, that shut off the motor when it is at risk of overheating. Regular maintenance involves simple and periodic inspections of wires and lubricants. A quality submersible pump can be effective for over 10 years if maintained properly.
