Slurry pumps are widely used in mining, coal, chemical and other industrial applications with excellent operating efficiency and versatility. There are two different configurations: horizontal and vertical, what's the difference? Which one is suitable for your working conditions?

1. Basic differences

NO	Compare point	Horizontal slurry pump	Vertical slurry pump
1	Application conditions	conveying solid liquid mixtures containing abrasiveness/corrosiveness. Usually on land	Suitable for conveying abrasive or corrosive slurry. Usually immersed in a groove or pit
2	Shaft direction	Horizontal	Vertical
3	Shaft seal	expeller / packing / mechanical seal	No shaft seal
4	Impeller type	Semi open/closed	semi-open
5	Structure	Double casing structure, interchangeable metal/rubber liner	Single casing structure, interchangeable metal/rubber wet parts
6	connection type	Installed on the base,on the ground (DC drive/belt drive: ZVZ/CV/CRZ)	Vertical installation, submerged in liquid (DC drive/BD belt drive)
7	Space availability	Usually larger in size and requires large installation space	Compact, occupying less space, suitable for applications with limited space

2. Basic Introduction

① ZH (R) horizontal slurry pump feature:

Horizontal single stage single suction cantilever centrifugal pump. The wet parts can be made of A05 high chrome alloy or rubber material; good wear resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. Widely used in mining, coal, metallurgy, power and other industrial sectors. It is the preferred choice for processing ore slurry and tailings slurry.

② ZP (R) vertical slurry pump feature:

Vertical single stage cantilever centrifugal pump, The wet parts can be made of A05 high chrome alloy or rubber material; Bottom filter screen reduces the risk of blockage; Various underwater lengths can be customized. Suitable for conveying solid liquid mixtures containing slag slurry in industries such as mines, shallow pools, sewage pits, etc.

It is crucial to choose and configure the appropriate slurry pump for your application. Contact us for more information on slurry pumps and accessories.
