This course extract provides a deep dive into slurry pump bearing housing design and ways to improve the reliability of legacy designs.
These technical insights were developed by our support partner, 7D Team, following a Research and Development project on slurry pump bearing assemblies. The work built on earlier studies by authors as Heinz Bloch, which found ingress of contaminants to bearings was the major contributor to premature bearing failure.
New knowledge was gained, significantly building on earlier academic research papers and design books. To help drive the industry forward, and be more sustainable, details of how to improve the reliability of slurry pump bearing assemblies are shared.
