The transmission method of the slurry pump refers to the connection method between the slurry pump and the motor. We generally have two types, one is connected by coupling, which we call direct drive, and the other is connected by belt and pulley, which we call belt drive. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of these two transmission methods, and which one is better to choose?
The other two transmission methods are commonly used in our slurry pump applications, and their operation is very reliable. Which one to choose depends on the speed of the pump.
We know that the motor speed is fixed, so if you want to choose direct transmission, you must ensure that the pump speed and motor speed are consistent. So what should we do when the pump speed required by our parameters is inconsistent with the motor. At this time, it is necessary to use belt drive. It relies on adjusting the size of the pulleys on the motor end and the pump end to make them work together.
There is another benefit to using a belt drive. That is, when our on-site parameters need to be adjusted, the flow head can be changed by replacing the pulley. Of course, the parameters that need to be adjusted must be within the performance range of the pump type.
