Slurry Pump Unplanned Downtime Cost Estimator

Quantify what pump failures actually cost your operation — and what extending wear life is worth in hard dollars.

Production Value ($/hour)

Revenue or throughput value lost per hour of downtime

Unplanned Pump Failures per Year

Wet-end changeouts, seal failures, bearing replacements

Hours of Downtime per Failure

From failure detection to resumed production

Labor Cost per Repair Event (USD)

Maintenance crew wages + contractor costs

Wet-End Parts Cost per Changeout (USD)

Impeller, liner, throatbush, seals per event

Production loss = failures/year × hours/failure × production value/hour. Parts and labor costs are user-entered actual figures. Improved scenario assumes failure frequency scales inversely with wear life multiple (e.g. 2× wear life = half as many failures). This calculator provides directional estimates only — actual savings depend on application, installation, and operating conditions.

Extend pump wear life with the right liner material for your particle size and pH. Our engineers review your duty point at no charge.
