Product catalog summary

Overview of KREBS millMAX™ Pumps
The KREBS millMAX™ Pumps are designed to reduce downtime and power consumption while extending the life of pump components. The patented externally adjustable suction-side wear ring allows for maintaining initial clearances throughout the pump's life, reducing wear and power consumption.

Design and Technology
The millMAX™ Pump features a unique design specifically for mill discharge duties and other severe abrasive slurries. It includes a patented on-line wear clearance adjustment, which minimizes the cost per ton pumped compared to conventional slurry pumps. Key benefits include increased wear life, consistent cyclone separation, and improved gland seal performance.

Technical Specifications
The pump's casing is designed for minimal slurry turbulence and even wear. The adjustable wear ring assembly reduces slurry recirculation and maintains flow. The impeller is optimized for high slurry efficiency, and the backliner ensures close clearance for effective shaft sealing.

Wear Parts and Power Frame
Wear parts are constructed of high chrome for durability, and the power frame features a heavy-duty cast iron pedestal with an external bearing assembly adjustment mechanism. The bearing assembly is designed to prevent over-greasing and slurry ingress.

Performance and Efficiency
In established installations, the millMAX™ Pump has shown improved wear life by 50% to 100% and reduced power consumption by 10% to 20%. The Hybrid Suction Sealing System allows for front clearance adjustments while the pump is running, enhancing efficiency and reducing maintenance time.

Applications and Adaptability
The millMAX™ Pump can be adapted to existing pumps through a wet end conversion kit, which includes necessary components like the impeller and casing. This allows for achieving the same performance as a complete pump on a maintenance budget.

Global Presence
FLSmidth Krebs, the manufacturer of millMAX™ Pumps, has a global presence with offices in multiple countries, providing expertise in hydrocyclone technology and severe duty slurry pumps.
