Tobee® Slurry Pump Maintenance Tips

All Tobee^® slurry pump users are very concerned to pump maintenance methods because the slurry pump runs for 24/7 without break, and if one pump breakdown, it may affect the whole mining project. Each slurry pump model is originally designed to handle a certain fluid and the pump parameters are various. Therefore, the right pump for the application is the key for long service life.

After selecting the right slurry pump, it is important to schedule regular inspections. The regular inspection would help the pump user to monitor pump working conditions by checking the pump operating temperature, vibration and noise, etc.

Every piece of rotating equipment in a refinery needs lubrication. Therefore, workers should be aware of the lubrication level and add it if needed. If the pump needs flushing water, making sure the water is clear to avoid contamination. At some point, flushing, varnish removal, reservoir maintenance and fluid replacement will be required. Particle contamination is the biggest threat to rotating equipment lubrication and a leading cause of bearing failure.
