A slurry pump for mineral processing comprising:
- a housing and an impeller arranged within the housing and a shaft for rotating the impeller around a first axis, wherein the housing comprises a front part, a back part, and a peripheral part comprising a cut water region,
- wherein the housing comprises one or more first protrusions and/or indentations formed at least at the cut water region, wherein the one or more protrusions and/or indentations are configured to create a turbulent flow.
A retrofit kit for retrofitting a slurry pump for mineral processing, the retrofit kit comprising a housing comprising a front surface, a back surface, and a peripheral surface comprising a cut water region,
- wherein the front surface is configured for facing an impeller arranged in the housing rotating around a first axis,
- wherein the back surface is opposite the front surface and facing the impeller,
- wherein the peripheral surface extends in-between the front surface and the back surface,
- wherein the housing comprises one or more first protrusions and/or indentations formed at least at the cut water region, wherein the one or more protrusions are configured to create a turbulent flow.
