Ultra Heavy Duty Slurry Pump

Product Range
The True Ultra Heavy Duty Slurry Pump
Warman Ultra Heavy Duty Horizontal Slurry Pumps Designed for the continuous pumping of highly abrasive, high density slurries with minimal maintenance requirements, the Warman horizontal centrifugal pumps will maintain high efficiencies over the wear life of its components.

Warman rubber and metal lined pumps feature casings which are radially split into two halves. Minimum casing bolts reduce maintenance and minimise downtime.

Moulded impellers and loose liners are available in various elastomers. Loose metal liners and impellers are also available in abrasive resistant alloys and various corrosion resistant metals.

Both metal or rubber liners and impellers, or a combination of both, are interchangeable within the same pump to facilitate use in various applications. Outline dimensions are common to both metal and rubber pumps allowing interchangeability without pipeline or civils rework being necessary.

A removable cartridge type grease lubricated bearing assembly can be replaced with the pump base in-situ, facilitating easy maintenance. Extra heavy duty and oil lubricated bearing assemblies are available on request.

Pumps are available with an optional centrifugal shaft seal which eliminates the need for gland sealing water. This reduces costs, eliminates product dilution and is suitable where suction conditions permit. For intermittent duties, the unique Warman Dyna Seal eliminates leakages whilst the pump is stationary.

Configurations of metal and rubber lined pumps of the same frame size use the same base, bearing assembly, stuffing box and shaft sleeve, reducing stockholding to a minimum.

Polyurethane, stainless steel, ceramic and various hard wearing alloys are available on request.

Ultra Heavy Duty Slurry Pump

Bearing Cartridge Assembly
A large diameter shaft with a short overhang minimises deflection and vibration. Heavy duty taper roller bearings are housed in a removable bearing cartridge. Interchangeable, extra heavy duty cartridge assemblies are also available on request.

Pump Base
A one piece casting cradles the bearing cartridge assembly. A minimum number of through bolts hold the pump casing to the frame. A simple single point impeller adjustment facility is provided in a convenient position below the bearing cartridge, minimising contamination from media pumped.

Shaft Sleeve
Various options available from standard to hardened sleeves with O-Ring seals at both ends protects the shaft. A slip fit allows the sleeve to be removed and installed quickly. Various types of materials are available to cater for different duty requirements.

Gland Seal
A packed gland type seal is available and can be fitted with ultra-low, low or full flow flush seal water arrangements.

Expeller Seal
Suitable for most slurry pumping applications providing a major advantage where no gland service water is required. Not suitable for series pumping applications, or applications with high suction head.

Warman Dyna Seal

An integral part of the standard expeller arrangement with the added advantage of not requiring greasing, packing replacement or gland adjustment.

Bearing Assembly Options

A modified heavy duty bearing option is available for the entire range of Warman pumps. This is ideal where extreme axial loads or high power requirements are needed. STANDARD FRAME Frame C D E F G KW Absorbed 30 60 120 260 600 HIGH CAPACITY Frame CC DD EE FF GG KW Absorbed 55 110 225 425 900

Maintained High Efficiency Advantages Over Normal Pumping

Impellers
Standard Warman impellers are designed to produce an optimum balance between wear life and lifetime efficiency. Correct design ensures maximum wear life with a minimum total energy cost over the full service life of the pump. With this in mind, engineers need to consider total energy and operating costs over the full service life of the impeller when evaluating alternative pump models.

Warman Standard Impellers - new and after five million tonnes - and at a loss of only 5% in effeciency from beginning to end

Conventional design Impeller efficiency in its new condition is not normally a true indication of the overall power consumption.

Warman design

Outward spiral of slurry in conventional pumps causes serious circulation and consequent wear at the close impeller clearances.

The pump-out vanes and concave impeller vane of a Warman pump forces the slurry to form a double inward spiral. This results in uniform wear, a greater utilisation of wearing parts, an increased shaft seal life and sustained high efficiency through the life of the components.

Shaft Sealing
Expeller Seal Metal
This seal is suitable for most slurry pumping applications. It provides the major advantage that no gland water is required. An expeller running in a ring of the same material and working with the vanes on the back face of the impeller ensures a leak proof seal. A grease lubricated packed gland with neck and lantern rings prevents leakage when the pump is stationary. The inlet head influences the effectiveness of the expeller seal and under normal operating conditions this type of seal is completely leak proof.

Expeller Seal Elastomer

It provides the major advantage that no gland water is required. This type of seal is the same as the centrifugal metal seal apart from the following two items: the expeller ring in this seal is made of moulded elastomer and special synthetic rubber lip seals are used in place of the packed gland. This type of seal is generally used with pumps which are fitted with rubber liners.

Warman Dyna Seal

Unique to the Warman range of slurry pumps this unique seal eliminates sliding abrasion present in all other types of seal arrangements, whilst providing a positive seal. By changing certain components the seal can be retrofitted to existing pumps.
Expeller Expeller Ring

Gland Seal Full Flow

With this type of seal, a conventional stuffing box replaces the expeller ring. A lantern restrictor and rings of packing are used. This sealing method is used when the inlet conditions are not suitable for the centrifugal expeller seal. Clean water at a pressure of at least 35 to 50 kPa above discharge pressure is required.

AH PUMP SELECTION CHART

The selection chart should be used as a basic guide only. It indicates the range and quantity of flow and head available from Warman pumps with standard impellers. It can also, however, be used to obtain a preliminary pump selection providing the user is able to estimate the quantity of slurry to be pumped and the developed head required.
