In the demanding world of industrial pumping, where abrasive and dense slurries are the norm, efficiency and durability aren't just advantages; they're necessities. Furkey Submersible Slurry Pumps are designed to excel in harsh conditions, providing robust solutions for a wide range of applications, including mining, mineral processing, wastewater treatment, and dredging. Designed to operate fully submersibly, these pumps are your trusted workhorse, maximizing uptime and minimizing maintenance.
The basic design of a submersible pump offers inherent advantages that translate directly into operational cost savings and streamlined processes. Furkey Submersible Slurry Pumps are typically installed directly on the bottom of a tank, pond, or lagoon. This strategic placement allows the pump to draw slurry directly from the suction port and discharge it through the discharge hose, ensuring efficient and continuous operation.
| Parameter | Specification | Notes |
| Material of Construction | High-Chrome Alloy (A05/A49), Cast Iron, Stainless Steel | Varies by model; High-Chrome is standard for most abrasive applications. |
| Seal Type | Double Cartridge Mechanical Seal with Tungsten Carbide/Silicon Carbide faces | Provides superior protection and easy replacement. |
| Motor Protection | IP68 Submersible, Class F or H Insulation | Designed for continuous submersion and high-temperature operation. |
| Discharge Size | 50 mm to 300 mm | Flanged connection for secure hose/pipe attachment. |
Space-Saving Design: The Submersible Slurry Pump operates directly in the slurry, eliminating the need for complex support structures, foundations, or long suction lines, significantly reducing footprint.
Compact and Easy to Install: The motor and volute are integrated into a single, sealed unit. This compact design makes the pump easy to operate, install, and deploy, reducing setup time and costs.
Quiet Operation: Submerged operation provides natural sound attenuation. Furkey pumps operate with minimal noise, contributing to a safer and more comfortable working environment.
Efficient Motor Cooling: The surrounding fluid continuously cools the motor, preventing overheating and allowing for a more compact motor design. This efficient cooling also enables operation in smaller sumps and at lower liquid levels.
High Flexibility: The Furkey pump offers a variety of mounting options, including portable, semi-permanent, and fixed rail systems, adapting to virtually any application and providing the flexibility needed for dynamic industrial sites.
Made of high-quality materials and precision craftsmanship, the Furkey Submersible Slurry Pump is durable and can withstand the erosion of abrasive slurries. Heavy-Duty Agitator: A robust agitator is integrated into the pump base. It agitates settled solids and suspends them in the liquid, making them easier to pump, preventing clogging and ensuring consistent performance.
High-Chromium Alloy Wetted Components: The impeller, volute, and agitator are all made of high-chromium alloy, offering excellent wear and corrosion resistance, extending the pump's service life.
Double Mechanical Seal System: Specially designed seals operate within an oil-filled chamber, protecting the motor from the intrusion of water and abrasive particles. This is essential for reliable, long-term operation.
Thermal Protection Sensor: A built-in thermal sensor in the motor automatically shuts down the pump in the event of overheating, preventing costly motor burnout.
Rugged Discharge System: The discharge port is designed to withstand high pressures and can be connected to a durable hose or pipe for efficient, long-distance slurry transfer.
