S3 ACID SLURRY PUMP

Chemical-Acid Slurry Pump

The S3 pump was designed specifically for severe applications that are both corrosive and abrasive where an ANSI/ASME B73.1 is not enough.

Main Benefits

  • It does not require water for seals
  • Heavy-Duty design specifically design for acid slurries
  • High durability

Main Applications

  • Mining and mineral processing
  • Phosphoric acid
  • Acid slurry applications

\

Tangential discharge

reduces wear

\

Front and rear impeller vanes

reduces wear

\

Extra heavy wall thickness extends wear life

(1/4” corrosion allowance vs. 1/8” with standard ANSI/ASME)

\

Heavy duty enclosed impeller

promotes high hydraulic eciency and reduced casing wear

\

Pressure / temperature

balance holes

\

The Wiley Waterless Sealt technology

is the combination of Expeller and Solidlock

Precision Engineering, Proven Reliability

The robust design of the Model S3 pump coupled with The Wilfley Waterless and Leakless Seal Technology  have proven to extend service life in Canada’s demanding potash applications.  Conventional packing and traditional pump designs failed to offer extended service life due to slurry concentration and occasional dry running conditions.  Wilfley’s dynamic seal eliminates the need for gland related work orders and seal headaches to keep operations and maintenance focused on other aspects of potash production.
