Flowserve LC Chemical Slurry Pump
The Flowserve LC Chemical Slurry Pump is a high-performance, frame-mounted centrifugal pump designed to handle aggressive slurries in the most demanding process environments. Engineered as a single-stage, end-suction chemical slurry pump with a tangential discharge nozzle, it delivers efficient, low-maintenance fluid handling in applications where both corrosion and abrasion are prevalent.
This horizontally oriented chemical slurry pump is built with a rugged bearing frame and oversized shaft to ensure stability, reduce deflection and extend the life of seals and bearings. Its open impeller design allows for superior solids handling while maintaining consistent flow, even with high-viscosity or particulate-laden fluids.
Constructed with chemically resistant materials and available in a range of hardened alloys or elastomer-lined options, the LC pump is ideal for chemical processing, mineral transport, fertilizer production and industrial wastewater systems.
Key design advantages include a back pull-out configuration for simplified maintenance, flexible sealing solutions for various process demands and heavy-duty components rated for high radial and axial loads. Whether your operation requires a continuous-duty pump for harsh slurries or a cost-efficient upgrade to your existing system, the Flowserve LC Chemical Slurry Pump provides exceptional durability, chemical resistance and long-term reliability.
