MULTIPLE DIVERTER FOR REDUCING WEAR IN A SLURRY PUMP

摘要

Disclosed is a diverter (2) for directing particles that cause wear in a slurry pump (20) away from the stationary face of a slurry pump. The diverter (2) comprises a protrusion that directs particles back into the collector of the pump (20) to reduce the number of particles that go through the impeller nose gap (12). The protrusion extends from the suction liner (4) face to the front shroud (10) whereby particles can be deflected away from the suction liner (4) face.
