Can the horizontal wear-resistant slurry pump be self-priming?

Can horizontal wear-resistant slurry pumps be self-priming? The answer is no. Why? Shijiazhuang slurry pump manufacturer will take you to find out.
The slurry pump works by centrifugal force. Only when the pump chamber is filled with water, the impeller rotates rapidly driven by the motor. The water flies from the center to the surroundings due to centrifugal force. At this time, a vacuum will be formed in the center of the impeller, and the liquid in the outside will Due to the pressure difference, it will flow to the low-pressure impeller, which will draw away the liquid in the pool. This is why we always emphasize that the pump chamber must be filled with water when starting the pump.
It can be seen from this that when the impeller rotates, only heavy things can be thrown from the center to the surroundings, so that an obvious vacuum is formed in the center. Obviously, if the pump chamber is filled with air, no matter how fast the rotation is, a vacuum cannot be formed. Therefore, before the centrifugal pump works, the pump chamber must be filled with slurry in advance. Therefore, the slurry pump does not have a self-priming function. If the slurry pump is required to have a suction function, a self-priming device needs to be installed.
