The Influencing Factors on the Price of Horizontal Centrifugal Slurry Pump

Horizontal centrifugal slurry pump is specially engineered for transporting high aggressive, viscous and abrasive slurries or large size particles in construction, mining, chemical and industrial applications. There are many factors you would consider such as the size of the manufacturer and their customer group, the scientific research strength, the quality of the pump, the sand effect, the price, the production cycle, and the parts inventory, when you to choose a horizontal centrifugal slurry pump. These factors are based on the strength of the manufacturer and the cost performance of the product.

The calculation method of sand slurry pump cost and sales price are complicated. This article explains the price factors in the selection of horizontal centrifugal slurry pump and how to choose a wearable horizontal centrifugal slurry pump with good quality and low price.

1. Configuration Affects Slurry Pump Price

When you select a horizontal centrifugal slurry pump for your demand,  you should consider the flow capacity, head type, slurry pump materials and manufacturing process, the working conditions, then you ask the supplier for the price. Our engineer will select the appropriate slurry pump type according to  your specified conditions and tell you the price. If you don’t need too long distance or the amount of work is small, the first thing that should be considered is the small slurry pump. There are many  kind of horizontal centrifugal slurry pump with different configurations, and the price has big differences. Therefore, there are many kind of slurry pump can satisfy your demands. The price of sand pump machine cannot be judged solely by caliber.

2. Casting cost affects sand pump price

At present, the most commonly used overflow material of the horizontal centrifugal slurry pump is high chromium alloy. The price of chrome is much more expensive, and the high alloy chrome is resistant to strong abrasion. High quality material has greatly reduced the user’s replacement and time costs.

3. Processing and assembly costs affect slurry pump price

The main parts or components should be precisely machined or processed by professional CNC lathes, then the designed parameters and tolerances of assembly surface can be achieved. Therefore, lathe processing technology or skill affect parts precision. The assembly surface of the horizontal centrifugal slurry pump parts must be tightly jointed so that the assembly will meet the designed parameters. In this way, it will all matched when the accessory is replaced later.

Some standard parts need to be selected during the assembly process of the horizontal centrifugal slurry pump, which is often overlooked by customers. However, the standard parts are the basis for the stability of the horizontal centrifugal slurry pump, and the prices of different parts vary greatly.

4. Product inspection cost affects slurry pump price

Each casting of the horizontal centrifugal slurry pump must pass the material inspection to ensure the stable physical properties. After each part is processed, it must pass the hardness test to ensure the wear resistance and toughness. After each horizontal centrifugal slurry pump is installed, it must pass the clean water test and sealing test to ensure the high efficiency and stable operation.

5. Pre and after-sale costs can affect the price of pump

The horizontal centrifugal slurry pump is the heart of the dredging work. When the customer chooses the horizontal centrifugal slurry pump, it also needs the support of the whole product scheme. Excellent horizontal centrifugal slurry pump manufacturers have a complete team of engineers. In pre-sale communication, it’s necessary to understand the working conditions and horizontal centrifugal slurry pump requirements in detail, then creating a cost-effective horizontal centrifugal slurry pumping system solution. After the team of technical engineers will continue to track and ensure that every pump that is sold out will perform well.

The ocean pump is a professional horizontal centrifugal slurry pump manufacturer. The engineer team absorbs the advanced pump design concepts at home and abroad. The sand dredging pump has more than 20 series and more than 500 specifications. During the casting process, the heat treatment process is carried out twice to ensure the strength and toughness. The Rockwell hardness is over 60. All the standard parts are selected from the brand. With a professional-level inspection team, we have more than 20 pre-sales and after-sales engineers, complete product lines, and all departments work together to make sure the quality. The scientific procurement mechanism will reduce costs, ensuring the user’s procurement costs and achieving benefits.

All in all, back to the original question, how to choose a high-quality and low-cost horizontal centrifugal slurry pump? This problem is seen by the benevolent wise. I believe that after reading this article, you will have your own judgment. In the process of selecting the horizontal centrifugal slurry pump, I hope that the ocean pump will become your reliable partner. We are not the cheapest on the market, but we are a dedicated one-stop sand suction pump solution provider and your friend.

What Kind of Suction Dredge Pumps are Suitable for Inland River Dredging

What kind of suction dredge pumps are suitable for inland river dredging? Followed are some suggestions.

Inland river is different from large river and sea. There are large particles or twining solids such as mixed garbages, weed, bricks; Mud is more than sand, it may dry up in summer.

At present, cutter suction dredgers is often equipped with suction dredge pumps and vertical sand pump units, the cutter suction dredgers can be used with excavator ships for inland river dredging. Besides this, there are other methods for inland river dredging.

1. For a dry river, there is no water source nearby, excavator or artificial way is suitable but not sand pump. This method is time-consuming and laborious. The working efficiency is lower.

2. The river water is very shallow. Vertical suction dredge pumps equipped with high pressure water gun are a better choice. It has the features of easy operation, high suction concentration, high efficiency, thorough cleaning up. The disadvantages are that it needs manual operation and the discharge distance is not so long.  If the conveying distance is long, horizontal suction dredge pumps can be used as booster pumps. The sand extracted by several vertical suction dredge pumps gathers to one horizontal sand pump, then is conveyed to discharge destination.

3. When the river has sufficient water supply, a variety of sand pumping equipment can be used in conjunction with each other. If there are a lot of weeds in the river, the mowing boat can clean up the weeds at first, then the cutter suction dredger cleaning up sediment and stones. The big particle gravel sand pumps are suitable to be equipped on the cutter suction dredgers, because the large particle suction dredge pumps have the characteristics of wide channel, non blockage, strong wear resistance. The largest particle diameter allowed to pass is 20cm, it is the best choice for this working condition.

Generally, the river clearing project is more complicated, we can choose the suction dredge pumps according to actual working condition.

Tai’an Ocean Pump Co.,Ltd. is professional in designing and producing suction dredge pumps, sand suction pump, slurry pump, dredging pump, sand dredgers, etc. We can supply the customers different construction plans according to different construction conditions. On the base of rich experiences in the Yellow River dredging and dyke strengthening, our products have been widely used in our domestic market and gotten good praise. Our products are famous for high efficiency, wear-resistance, long distance conveying. In the recent years, the submersible mud pumps designed and produced by our company are hot sale in our domestic dredging sites and mining enterprises. The advantages of the sand dredging machine are durable, wear-resistance and easy operation. At the same time, the export sales of the sand pumps are getting better and better.
