Slurry pump troubleshooting begins by identifying the symptoms affecting pump performance, such as excessive wear, reduced flow, vibration, cavitation or increasing maintenance requirements. In most cases, these issues are caused by operating conditions rather than pump failure alone. Factors including incorrect pump selection, operating away from the best efficiency point (BEP), excessive pump speed, abrasive slurries, poor suction conditions and incorrect installation can all reduce perfor

Air operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps are known for their versatility and reliability. They can handle everything from corrosive chemicals and abrasive slurries to viscous products and shear-sensitive fluids, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Peristaltic pumps are widely used across industries because they can handle abrasive slurries, corrosive chemicals, viscous fluids, and shear-sensitive products with minimal maintenance and no seal failures. However, the performance and service life of a peristaltic pump relies heavily on selecting the correct hose or tube material for the application.

Magnetic drive pumps are often selected when chemical leakage, seal failure, or hazardous fluid handling becomes difficult to manage with conventional sealed pumps.

For Australian plants, the pump itself is only one part of the decision. Local support, correct material selection, spare parts availability, and application experience all affect how well the pump performs over time.

When you buy a pump, you’re not just thinking about the upfront cost, you’re thinking about how long it will last, how often it will break down, and how much time you’ll spend fixing it. That’s where Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) comes in.

When most people think about pump reliability, their first focus is the pump itself — impellers, casings, and materials of construction. But in many cases, motor performance is just as critical.

A common issue we see in the field is motor overheating, and it often comes down to poor temperature control rather than a mechanical failure. 

When selecting a pump, one of the key pieces of information provided by the supplier is the pump performance curve.

This curve shows how the pump will perform across different flow rates and pressures—but for many operators and engineers, it’s not always clear what point on that pump curv

If you work with water supply or transfer applications, you know some projects have demanding requirements. This blog explains how the Global Pumps team reviews high-capacity booster and transfer scenarios and evaluates suitable pump skid options for challenging conditions.

Dosing pumps are precision pumps designed to deliver controlled volumes of chemicals into a process stream to meet quality, safety and performance requirements. Global Pumps offers a broad range of dosing and metering pump solutions in Australia built for water treatment, food and beverage production, mining and industrial processing.

Mine sites across the industry are beginning to see how much water their slurry systems are no longer losing each day. Across many operations, water consumption has dropped, unplanned shutdowns have eased, and the constant drip of wasted resources has finally started to disappear.
But it wasn’t always this way.
