Why can’t the slurry pump be idle?

We all know that the slurry pump is strictly prohibited from reverse rotation, but it cannot be idle, did you know?
Why can't it be idling? What effect does idling have on the pump? Let's find out today.
When the slurry pump is idling, gas will be generated in the pump, causing cavitation and damage to the flow-passing parts of the pump;
If the machine is idling, friction between the sleeve and the shaft without slurry lubrication will generate a large amount of heat, causing damage to the mechanical seal or packing.
