Function: The backplate provides structural support and helps in mounting the pump.

The head, or the height to which a pump can raise the slurry, is another vital performance indicator for horizontal centrifugal slurry pumps. The head is directly related to the pump’s ability to overcome the pressure within the slurry transport system. This metric is typically measured in meters (m) and provides insight into the pump’s power to move slurry through pipelines and other components. The head is crucial for applications involving slurry transport using centrifugal pumps because it determines how efficiently the pump can transport slurry over long distances or through systems with varying elevations. Regular testing of head and pressure ensures that the horizontal centrifugal slurry pump meets the operational demands and maintains system efficiency.

Materials: Typically made from the same material as the casing or other wear-resistant materials.
