Heavy duty slurry
pump
The Warman® XU
pump is Weir Minerals' most recently released all metal
unlined pump range that integrates newly designed wet end wear
components with the long proven Warman® mechanical
end. Casing, impeller and liner have been optimized to provide the
lowest possible wear while delivering outstanding efficiency over a
wide range of medium to heavy slurry applications such as coal and
sand and gravel.
With many unique features, the XU
pump is easy to maintain and offers the lowest cost of
ownership in its class.

Benefits
- Configured volute cross-section distribute casing material at
point of maximum wear for larger particles.
- Low V open cutwater design lowers slurry velocity and
consequent wear and prevents separation at flows less than BEP,
producing more forgiving operating range and broader efficiency
band.
- Patented impeller wear ring profile reduces wear on the
throatbush and impeller by reducing turbulence and restricting
recirculation.
- Extended shroud impeller design reduces side-liner wear by
trapping the pump-out vane tip vortices against the shroud
preventing further vortex development.
- Profiled impeller vane tip profile increased radial velocity of
flow in center of cane presenting inward spiral flow and reducing
wear in the casing.
- "Tear Drop" frame plate liners ensure any local side wall wear
occurs on the liner, not in the more expensive casing. Flat ceramic
wear resistant inserts are options for very aggressive
applications.
- Easy maintenance - Unique "T-liner" and spigotted fits ensure
all components can be assembled easily. Casing has 3 shackle
lifting points.
- Centrifugal seal performance offer deep and efficient impeller
pump out vanes combine with high ratios (85%) expeller diameter
produce exceptional dry sealing performance.
- Leading edge of the expelling vane is a patented shape designed
to reduce tip turbulence and maximize pressure reduction and
sealing effect.
- A robust one-piece frame cradles the cartridge type bearing and
shaft assembly. An external impeller adjustment mechanism is
provided below the bearing housing for easy adjustment of impeller
clearance.
