What Is a Horizontal Froth Pump?
Horizontal froth pumps are specially designed to handle frothy slurries generated in flotation and mineral processing operations. Compared with conventional slurry pumps, froth pumps feature enlarged inlets and unique impeller designs that effectively manage air-entrained slurries while maintaining stable pumping performance. CNSME horizontal froth pumps are widely used in copper, gold, iron ore, coal and other mineral flotation circuits where froth transportation is required. The pumps provide reliable operation, reduced maintenance costs and excellent wear resistance in demanding mining environments.
Typical Applications:
Copper flotation plants, Gold flotation circuits, Iron ore processing plants, Coal preparation plants, Mineral beneficiation systems,Frothy slurry transfer applications
Features:
Heavy duty construction with through-bolt design provides ease of maintenance and minimal downtime
Large diameter, slow turning, high efficiency impellers designed to achieve maximum wear life and low operating costs
Large, open internal passages designed to reduce internal velocities, maximize wear life and lower operating costs
Unique impeller design for most difficult froth applications
Thick elastomer or alloy bolt-in liners provide superior corrosion resistance plus offer ease of liner change-out and interchangeability to reduce overall maintenance costs and maximize wear life
Minimal shaft/impeller overhang reduces shaft deflection and increases packing life
Cartridge-style bearing assembly allows for maintenance in a clean environment without removal of the pump, resulting in reliable operation and prolonged bearing life
Standard AH and L pumps can be converted by replacing cover plate, throatbush and impeller
