Vertical froth pumps Increase pump ability of frothy slurry

Open the catalog to page 1

Rubber lined & hard metal Vertical froth pumps The 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. Pump designation VF 100 Discharge size (mm) Pump Range Summary of design features • Integrated unit for layout flexibility •...

Wear parts in the VF pump Intlet Pump casing / Lining Standard pumps are supplied with parts in wear resistant Natural Rubber or High Chrome iron alloy, with a ominal hardness of 600 BHN. n Other wear part materials available. The wear parts have large material sections for extra long wear life and are designed for the toughest applications. Parts in different materials are fully interchangeable and can be combined for optimum life. The pump, pump box, and motor, are integrated in one self-contained unit. Simple to install and connect. No alignment or special foundations needed. The...

The efficient froth pumping! A centrifugal pump is, in general, a very inefficient air pump. Its performance is drastically affected by air containment in liquids. The concept behind the conical froth pump is to avoid Tangential feed Slurry flow of finely ground solids, water and air pumping air and to separate as much air as possible from the slurry before it reaches the pump impeller. Patented Vortex Finder for increase capacity The heavy vortex inside the tank separates the frothy slurry. The high rate of shear in the slurry sepa ates the air r bubbles. The solids are thrown out by the...
