3×6-18 JC Slurry Pump (High Shear)
Developed to pump high shear & shear sensitive slurry. The 3×6-18 slurry pump is designed to deliver a given flow and head at a lower impeller rpm than the standard design Model JC 3 and 4 inch pumps. With the adjustable wear plate, the efficiency of the pump can be calibrated over time without the disassembly of the pump. The pumps are available with an outlet size from 3″ and 4″. The pumps deliver a head of up to 80m at speeds less than 1800 RPM and a maximum flow of up to 100 mᶟ/h.

Industry Applications for 3×6-18 JC Slurry Pump
- Developed to pump high shear and shear sensitive slurries.
- Commonly found in the Kaolin and paper coating industries, shear sensitive slurries thicken with increasing impeller rpm. Sometimes to the point of overloading the motor and shutting down the pump.
- The 3×6-18 is designed to deliver a given flow and head at lower rpm (not top speed) that the standard design Model JC 3 and 4 inch pumps.
Design Features for 3×6-18 JC Slurry Pump

- Enclosed, 5 vane impeller to reduce shear.
- Large casing clearances around front and back impeller shroud to reduce shear.
Capabilities
- Maximum solid handling size of 15.5mm and SG’s to 1.5
Performance
- Heads of up to 80m can be achieved at speeds of less than 1800rpm
