MINERCO
AF Series Froth Pump for Mineral Processing and Oil Sand Extraction
Overview
The AF series Froth Pump is specifically designed to handle viscous chemical froth encountered in mineral processing and oil sand extraction. This type of frothy, corrosive slurry can overwhelm standard slurry pumps, making the AF series Froth Pump essential for maintaining efficient operations in challenging environments. These pumps excel in flotation processes and are ideal for conveying foamed paste.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Designed with a through-bolt design for ease of maintenance and increased productivity.
- Durable Casing: Casings fully lined with ductile iron ensure strength, durability, and extended service life.
- Specialized Impeller Design: Large diameter, slow turning impellers minimize wear and reduce Total Ownership Cost (TOC).
- Optimized Internal Passages: Large, open internal passages reduce internal velocities, increase efficiency, and lower operating costs.
- Corrosion Resistance: Thick elastomer or metal bolt-in liners provide superior corrosion resistance and are easily replaceable to prolong pump life and reduce maintenance costs.
- Shaft and Bearing Design: Minimal shaft/impeller overhang reduces shaft deflection and increases packing life. Cartridge-style bearing assembly allows for easy maintenance without pump removal, minimizing production delays.
- Versatile Seal Options: Offers full flush, low flow, or dry running centrifugal seals to conserve water and cut operating costs.
