End-suction, split-case, and centrifugal slurry pumps have set the world standard for heavy-duty abrasive pumping applications for decades. With large shaft diameters, heavy-duty bearing assemblies, and robust slurry pumping capacity, Schurco Slurry ® pumps provide a cost-effective and ideal alternative to longer lead times and the difficulty associated with working with large multinational companies.
Application customization comes standard with this line by applying a wide variety of metallic and elastomeric parts options, an assortment of seal arrangements, and a standard impeller adjustment mechanism incorporated into every base assembly.
Impellers: Range of impellers to suite most applications including pump out vanes both front and back to enhance sealing and reduce recirculation.
Liners: Wide variety of metallic and elastomeric options (metal and elastomer liners are interchangeable) to select from in order to provide the longest wear life possible.
Schurco Slurry offers multiple shaft sealing options to match the demands of each pumping application. Whether prioritizing simplicity, waterless operation, or leak-free performance, we provide sealing solutions that maximize reliability and minimize downtime.
Cartridge-style bearing housing allows for removal from pump and assembly in controlled environment. Oversized shaft diameters and reduced overhang in the wet-end contribute to long life and reliability in the field
A classic and reliable sealing method, the stuffing box uses packing rings compressed by a gland to restrict slurry leakage around the shaft. Still one of the most widely used slurry pump seals, it requires seal water supplied at a pressure higher than pump discharge pressure to function effectively.
The expeller seal is a dynamic, waterless sealing solution that uses centrifugal force to prevent slurry leakage while the pump is running. It’s an excellent choice for applications where external seal water is unavailable, undesirable, or difficult to maintain. By eliminating the need for gland sealing water, the expeller seal reduces operating costs and simplifies maintenance. A grease-packed static seal prevents leakage when the pump is idle. Ideal for moderate suction conditions, the expeller seal offers reliable performance in tough environments with minimal infrastructure.
Mechanical seals provide superior sealing performance in high-pressure, high-temperature, or environmentally sensitive slurry applications. They use precision-engineered rotating and stationary faces to form a tight seal around the shaft, minimizing leakage even under severe conditions. Schurco Slurry primarily utilizes cartridge-style mechanical seals, which are preassembled, self-contained units that simplify installation and improve reliability. Mechanical seals are ideal for corrosive or abrasive slurries, or in applications where leakage control is critical.
