Cement Slurry Pumps
Cement and clinker slurry is highly abrasive and prone to settling. HET slurry submersible pumps are engineered for the wear and solids-handling demands of cement-plant slurry transfer and sludge duty.
The Cement Challenge
Cement slurry carries hard abrasive particles and settles quickly when static. Pump wear, blockage from settled material and difficult restart are common in cement-plant slurry handling.
What You Are Pumping
Cement slurry is abrasive, with hard fine particles and a strong tendency to settle. Sludge and slurry concentration vary across slurry transfer, sludge handling and dewatering points.
Why It Is Difficult
Abrasion, rapid settling and the risk of blockage from settled cement are the main challenges. The pump must handle both abrasive flow and intermittent settled-solids duty.
The HET Solution for This Application
SSEW — Heavy Slurry Lift Submersible Pump
Why HET for This Duty
HET heavy slurry submersible pumps are engineered for abrasive cement slurry and settled-solids handling, with application-based selection and performance testing before delivery.
Selection Considerations
Confirm flow, head, particle size and settling behaviour. Material of construction and impeller type are matched to abrasion demand. For high-head cement-slurry transfer, consider the SSSEW family.
Other HET Slurry Submersible Pumps
Real Cement Installations
Steel Plant Scale Pit Pumping with SSEW Slurry Pump
A steel-plant scale pit accumulated hard, abrasive mill scale and ash with intermittent heavy slugs during rolling cycles. Existing pumps choked on settled solids on restart and wore quickly from the abrasive load.
Iron Ore Slurry Transfer with SSEW Heavy Slurry Pump
An iron ore handling site needed to transfer abrasive, high-solids slurry from a sump to the processing area. Conventional dewatering pumps wore rapidly and choked on settled solids, causing repeated downtime.
