Steps to stop the slurry pump

1.Stop the electric motor

When it is necessary to stop the operation of the pump, the motor should first be stopped. This is to immediately cut off the power source and stop the pump from working.

2.Close the pressure gauge plug

After the motor stops, the plug of the pressure gauge should be closed immediately. This step helps prevent pressure blowback within the system from causing damage to the instrument.

3.Handling during long-term disuse

If the pump is planned to stop running for a long time, more detailed maintenance measures are required:

Disassemble the pump, thoroughly wipe it clean, and apply rust proof oil to prevent the components from rusting.

Properly store the pump body according to the correct storage method to avoid damage from external environment.

4.Clean the pump body

In practical operation, after the previous process is completed, the pump should continue to run for 5-20 minutes to clean the inside of the pump body with clean water, and then stop the pump operation.

5.Stop the shaft seal water or mechanical seal cooling water

The supply of shaft seal water or mechanical seal cooling water can only be stopped after confirming that the pump has completely stopped running.

The above steps can effectively protect the slurry pump, reduce unnecessary wear and damage, and thus extend the service life of the equipment. Please make sure to follow these steps to perform the shutdown operation to ensure the safety and reliability of the equipment.
