Vertical Froth Pumps Increase Pump Ability of Frothy Slurry
Brand: ValmetThe Metso VF Froth Pump has been designed to increase the pump ability of frothy slurry.
The principle of operation is similar to that of hydrocyclone separation. Air is separated from the slurry in a vortex created by the impeller rotation and the tangential inlet to the pump’s conical sump. This results in more efficient pumping at higher capacities and a smooth operation, free from pulsations caused by air locking.
Features- Integrated unit for layout flexibility
- Smooth operation of the open vortex created in the sump and vertical “wet end” inlet prevents air locking
- Cantilever design does not require submerged bearings or shaft seals
- Bearing assembly with double protection sealing arrangement to prevent ingress of slurry
- Wear parts are available in a variety of different materials
- Simplified maintenance
