When specifying pumps for slurry or highly abrasive applications, key considerations include meeting system requirements for flow rate (GPM) and pressure, while also maximizing wear life and minimizing maintenance demands. In high-wear slurry applications, maintenance costs can far exceed the initial pump investment, making cost-effective operation a top priority. Additionally, due to frequent servicing needs, the availability of replacement parts and reliable technical support are important things to keep in mind with industrial pump selection.
