The function of slurry pump is to transport liquids with abrasive and corrosive properties. Although slurry pump is a compact conveying equipment, its structure is still relatively complex. The disassembly ring of the slurry pump is one of the many components that make up the slurry pump. So, do you know what a slurry pump disassembly ring is? What is its function? Here we will introduce it to you.
What is the dismantling ring of slurry pump?
The disassembly ring of the slurry pump is composed of two semi-circular structures, with circular grooves engraved on the outer surface of the semicircle. The grooves clamp the retaining ring, so that the two semicircles are connected together to form a disassembly ring.
The function and usage precautions of dismantling ring for slurry pump
The efficiency of the slurry pump is closely related to the disassembly ring, as the disassembly ring can adjust the gap between the slurry pump front guard plate and the impeller, thereby affecting the efficiency of the slurry pump. If the gap between the front guard plate of the slurry pump and the impeller is too large, the volume loss of the slurry pump will increase, which will lead to a decrease in flow rate and head, and thus the efficiency of the slurry pump will decrease.
When the gap is too large, it also affects the shaft seal components, causing an increase in pressure on the back of the impeller, resulting in the failure of the packing seal and the leakage of the slurry, greatly shortening the service life of the shaft seal components.
At this point, it is necessary to disassemble the ring to adjust the position of the impeller until it reaches the appropriate position. During the adjustment process, different thicknesses and sizes of disassembly rings can be selected, which is convenient, simple, and fast to operate, and will not affect the service life of the equipment.
During the use of the dismantling ring of the slurry pump, two issues should be noted:
first, maintenance and rust prevention. Rust on the disassembly ring is very detrimental to the disassembly of the slurry pump body, affecting its normal operation. When performing rust prevention, simply apply butter to the hexagonal bolt for sealing. Second disassembly sequence.
When disassembling the ring, attention should be paid to removing the hexagonal bolts inside first. After the removal is completed, the three bolts of the disassembly ring can be removed in sequence. The upper ring should be removed quickly, and finally the slurry pump impeller should be slowly loosened. This disassembly is beneficial for protecting the pump body and preventing damage.
The above is an introduction to the disassembly ring of the slurry pump. Have you gained a deeper understanding of slurry pumps after understanding the definition and function of disassembly rings?
