Hose pumps can circulate slurry SGs of 1.6 to 1.8 or up to 80% solid content. Only hose pumps can pump such dense fluids whilst maintaining high levels of plant availability unlike centrifugal pumps which suffer from continuous downtime and are unable to pump such high SG slurries, lower plant performance.
