Granite Cutting Slurry Pumping with NSEW Non-Clog Pump
Industry
Mining
Application
Fine Stone Slurry
Problem
A granite processing plant produced fine, abrasive, fast-settling slurry from cutting and polishing. Pumps choked on settled fines on restart and clogged on occasional fibrous residue from processing aids.
Required Flow
Continuous fine granite slurry from cutting line (site-specific)
Required Head
Transfer to settling/recovery area (site-specific)
Slurry Characteristics
Fine hard granite particles, fast settling, high water content with concentrated settled fines, occasional fibrous residue from processing aids.
Pump Selected
NSEW — Slurry / Non-Clog Submersible Pump
Technical Solution
HET selected the NSEW non-clog family for its non-clog impeller, which handles fine and fibrous slurry where clogging is the primary risk, with material matched to the fine abrasion demand.
Installation
Submersible installation in the cutting-slurry sump, handling fine settled granite fines and fibrous residue.
Result
Reduced clogging from fibrous residue and reliable clearing of settled granite fines on restart, keeping the cutting line running. (Replace with verified outcome figures from the actual project.)
