Firstly, the conveying medium is different. Mud pump is the earliest pump type, generally made of cast iron with low wear resistance. As an important component of drilling machinery, it can only be used to transport mud or slurry containing suspended particles; The slurry pump is mainly used in the mining industry to transport slurry containing slag, and can also be used to transport mud, but its application is limited. Due to the fact that the flow components of the slurry pump are more susceptible to impact, wear, and corrosion from the slurry during operation, the slurry pump is usually lined with wear-resistant materials such as high chromium alloy, rubber, and other high wear-resistant materials, thus forming a wear-resistant slurry pump. This can effectively reduce the internal wear of the slurry pump, so most of the slurry pumps currently used in the market are wear-resistant slurry pumps.
