Mastering Slurry Pump Maintenance: When to DIY and When to Call the Experts

Regular daily checks are vital for slurry pump efficiency. Always check the oil (when the pump is off), inspect bearings for temperature changes, examine the stuffing box, and monitor gauges consistently. Don't overlook leakage and ensure V-belt drive tension, especially within the first few days of installation.

On top of your daily routine, re-adjust the impeller and record gauge readings weekly. These steps are simple but crucial for tracking and maintaining pump performance.

Every three months, it’s time for more comprehensive checks. Change the lubricant, inspect and clean the V-belt, and re-pack the stuffing box. These tasks might require a skilled mechanic but are essential to prevent major failures.

Twice a year, conduct a full inspection of the pump. Clean bearings, inspect and flush drains, and ensure the pump and motor are aligned. These thorough checks help catch potential issues early.

Accurate, consistent record-keeping of maintenance activities is crucial. Ensure all staff follow the same procedures for easy comparison and analysis.
