The service life of pumps has historically been a challenge, but failures directly affect productivity.
The crude slurry pump plays a vital role in the harsh mining environment. Ensuring the service life of the pump has always been a challenge, but failures will directly affect output and productivity.
Fortunately, advanced technology now provides a variety of solutions to help extend the service life of slurry pumps, from seals to lubricants and fillers to innovative monitoring solutions. With the increasingly fierce competition in the industry, paying attention to the health of the operator's slurry pump is not only a good thing; it is a basic requirement for any successful operation.
In many cases, slurry pumps continue to work in harsh environments. This can make maintenance particularly difficult due to some or all of the following reasons:
The primary problem for the correct operation of mud pumps or sealing systems is the difficulty of effective monitoring. If you don't have real-time data on vibration, temperature, and pressure, developing a fully effective maintenance plan relies more on guesswork than scientific processes.
Successfully extending the working life of the slurry pump requires a three-pronged approach to solve the following problems:
The right solution can significantly extend the working life of the slurry pump and reduce the need for costly downtime and maintenance. Sealing expert Chesterton brings innovative solutions to the market, designed for isolation and combination, creating powerful solutions for every challenge.
1. Use Chesterton Connect for effective monitoring
Imagine a device that can monitor the process and operating conditions of the device. Now imagine it can do so in remote and harsh conditions. Finally, imagine the ability to connect to multiple sensors, receive alerts, and monitor data through a simple application.
This is not an imaginary fiction, nor is it a prototype. This is a proven new product called Chesterton Connect-a simplified equipment and process monitoring unit for pumps and sealing systems.
Not only is it easy to install, but the data acquisition tool allows users to accurately monitor vibration, surface temperature, process temperature, and process pressure. Using Bluetooth technology, you can better understand adverse events, so that effective maintenance and preventive measures can be taken to extend the service life.
Once we understand that the failure of a slurry pump is almost always due to a lack of understanding of the pump's health and working conditions, the effective provision of the other two aspects becomes easier to manage.
2. Correct lubrication, mechanical packaging and sealing
The choice of grease is an essential element of the service life of a slurry pump. It is essential to ensure that it can cope with extreme pressures and the corrosive elements associated with mud. Chesterton has designed a series of greases that provide excellent performance under various conditions, including Chesterton 635 SXC and Chesterton 630 SXCF, both of which provide excellent lubrication capabilities.
However, applying the right amount of high-quality grease at the right time has always been a challenge. Enter Chesterton Lubri-Cup, an automatic lubricant dispenser that can accurately apply the correct amount at customized intervals. This innovative solution has played a key role in solving many unnecessary slurry pump failures. In fact, as this case study shows, the Lubri-Cup/Chesterton grease combination effectively extends the service life of the slurry pump by more than 100%, and this is where it succeeds.
For mechanical packing and mechanical seals, the key to the health of a slurry pump is to eliminate expensive external seal washes and withstand harsh environments. The Chesterton 170L Slurry Cartridge Single Seal combined with its trademark SpiralTrac mechanical packaging creates an excellent solution. Whether used alone or in combination with any of the above-mentioned slurry pump measures, these environment-specific sealing remedies provide a revolutionary way to improve the performance of slurry pumps.
3. Protect the internal workings of the pump
Of course, we cannot ignore the corrosive effect of the slurry on the internal work of the pump. Chesterton's ingenious ARC MX1 coating is specially formulated to significantly eliminate the effects of dry coarse particle erosion and sliding wear.
The mud pump is one of the most critical components in the mining industry. For a long time, there was no clear strategic solution to ensure their health and longevity. It now seems that this may finally become a thing of the past.
