Function: Seals prevent slurry from leaking out of the pump and protect the internal components.

Establishing a Pump Wet End Replacement Schedule

A pump wet end replacement involves changing out the parts that come into direct contact with the pumped fluid, including the impeller, casing, and liners. Determining the best time to perform this replacement requires careful analysis of the pump’s operating conditions, the wear rate of the components, and the criticality of the pump in your process. By tracking runtime hours, monitoring performance metrics, and assessing wear patterns, you can develop a replacement schedule that minimizes downtime and ensures continuous operation. This strategy not only helps to maintain pump efficiency but also reduces the long-term cost of ownership by preventing major failures.

Understanding the Importance of Impeller Wear Ring Maintenance

Function: Shaft sleeves protect the pump shaft from the slurry and the mechanical seals.
