In the daily operation of slurry pumps, it is necessary to monitor their operation to ensure safe, stable, and efficient performance, as well as to prevent potential failures and damage.

How to monitor the operation of the slurry pump after operation

Starting and Monitoring of Slurry Pump

1. Before operating the slurry pump, fill the tank with clean water, open the pump inlet valve, and close the pump outlet valve.

2. Then start the pump, and slowly open the pump's outlet valve after the pump has started.

3. At the same time, add slurry to the tank as needed.

4. The size and speed of the pump outlet valve opening should be controlled to prevent pump vibration and ensure the motor does not exceed the rated current, until the level stabilizes at 0.5-1 meter above the inlet pipe.

5. Regularly check and adjust the packing gland or replace the packing as needed during operation.

6. Pay attention to check the bearing operation; it must not run with ore. If ore enters the bearing, stop immediately for cleaning and oil change.

7. The bearing temperature must not exceed 75°C.

8. If the bearing heats up when starting, stop the pump and wait for the bearing to cool before running again. If it still overheats severely, the machine must be stopped for treatment.

9. Timely adjust the ore feeding amount or add water or adjust the pump's outlet valve. Under no circumstances should the pump be allowed to run dry, as this can cause pump vibration.

10. It is prohibited for any solid materials to enter the pump to prevent clogging or damaging the pump lining.

11. Add oil in a timely manner according to the pump's oil level.

12. Check if the water seal pressure is normal, if it is blocked, if the water volume is sufficient, and if the water quality is clean.

13. Check the lubrication oil levels in each part, whether the oil temperature is normal, the lubricating oil should be clear, and the oil temperature must not exceed 50 degrees.

14. Pay attention to observe whether the motor working current is normal and if there are any abnormal sounds from the motor.
