1.0 Different positions during operation: vertical slurry pumps are partially immersed in the pit and cannot be completely immersed in the liquid surface; submersible slurry pumps can be completely immersed below the liquid surface (including the motor part).

2.0 Different motors need to be waterproof: the motor of a vertical slurry pump can use an ordinary vertical motor without waterproofing; while the motor shaft and pump shaft of a submersible slurry pump are coaxial, the motor must be waterproof and sealed, and the motor and pump can be immersed in the liquid at the same time.

3.0 Different product age: vertical slurry pumps are early products; submersible slurry pumps are emerging products newly developed according to market demand.

4.0 Different flexibility of use: In actual applications, submersible slurry pumps have developed rapidly with their unique advantages. Vertical slurry pumps need to be fixed and installed when in use, while submersible slurry pumps do not need to be installed, and can be used directly immersed, which is convenient and flexible.
