A slurry pump is a type of pump designed for pumping liquid containing solid particles. They are often used in the mining of coal and other minerals.^[1] Slurry pumps are more robust than liquid pumps and can withstand wear due to abrasion, and often use parts that are designed to be replaced when worn out.

Slurry pumps vary in design and construction to handle different types of slurry, which can differ in the concentration of solids, the size and shape of solid particles, and the composition of the solution. Centrifugal, positive displacement, and vortex pumps can be used for slurry. Centrifugal slurry pumps can have between bearing-supported shafts with split casing or rubber- or metal-lined casing. Configurations include horizontal, vertical suspended and submersible.
