Slurry Pumps

Heavy-duty slurry pumps engineered for tough applications involving abrasive and corrosive slurries in mining, processing, and industrial environments.

  • Industrial Pumps Australia offers a comprehensive range of slurry pumps designed to handle the most challenging slurries in mining, mineral processing, chemical handling, and industrial wastewater. Built for performance and longevity, our slurry pumps are constructed from high-wear materials such as high-chrome alloys, elastomers, and ceramics to maximise uptime and reduce maintenance costs.


    Whether your application involves tailings transfer, cyclone feed, or mill discharge, our slurry pumps are designed to handle solids-laden fluids with high reliability and efficiency. We supply trusted brands known for their innovation and rugged build quality to ensure dependable operation in the harshest conditions.

  • Slurry pumps are used across a wide range of industries where solids are present in fluid systems. Common applications include:

    • Mining & Minerals Processing – Tailings, mill discharge, flotation, cyclone feed

    • Quarrying & Sand Processing – Sand and gravel pumping, dredging, classifier feed

    • Power Generation – Ash handling, bottom ash and fly ash slurry

    • Chemical Processing – Handling of corrosive and abrasive slurry chemicals

    • Industrial Wastewater – Effluent and sludge transfer containing solids

    • Sugar & Pulp Industries – Lime slurry and fibrous materials handling

  • We supply a wide selection of slurry pump configurations to meet specific application demands:
