Slurry pump and impeller wear protection
Abrasive slurry erodes pump impellers, casings, agitators, and mixer blades, pulling the unit off its head curve and dropping efficiency.
The need for slurry pump and impeller wear protection
BHI Coatings performs slurry pump and impeller wear protection across Alvin and the Texas Gulf Coast. The vane edges that do the work are the first thing abrasive slurry rounds off, and it takes impellers, casings, agitators, and mixer blades with them. As the geometry goes, the unit drifts off its head curve, power climbs and output falls. Operators feel that as an energy bill and a throughput number long before the part fails outright.
How BHI Coatings does slurry pump and impeller wear protection
Our crew rebuilds eroded vane and casing geometry cold with a metal-repair composite, then overcoats it with an erosion-resistant ceramic layer, in the field or in our climate-controlled shop. Surface prep is matched to the wear pattern, so the new profile holds under the slurry stream. Nothing sees weld heat, which means thin impeller sections do not distort and do not need rebalancing.
The pump or agitator comes back to its rated profile with a wear-hardened face. Efficiency returns, and the run between rebuilds gets longer.
