Generally heavy duty slurry pumps are designated for the most tough applications in the mineral processing industry. The excellent hydraulic design guarantees maximum efficiency throughout the life of the generously sized wear parts.
The shaft with its over-sized roller bearings is assembled in a cartridge type bearing housing which is bedded in
a fabricated pump frame. The stuffing box housing is attached to the same pump frame to assure total concentricity between shaft and sealing arrangement. The impeller is fixed to the shaft by a taper and a key,
assuring safe attachment even at reverse rotation and still providing easy replacement.
The vertically split high pressure casing allows operation of up to five pumps in series with standard
pumps.
Shaft sealing arrangements are gland-packed, water-flushed stuffing box or dynamic “expeller” seal. Both
alternatives supported by pump-out vanes on the impeller. The stuffing box version has a double
protection against slurry entering.
Wear parts
Generally slurry pumps are protected by wear parts in natural rubber or High Chrome Iron . In the same casing unit a soft natural abrasion resistant rubber liner or hard metal lining can be assembled. The parts are completely interchangeable. This means that an elastomer lined casing can for instance be equipped with a high chrome impeller and suction liner to give minimum operating cost. The outstanding hydraulic design of the impeller gives maximum efficiency throughout its operational life.
MIN-TEC based on its process engineering knowledge try to offer a wide range slurry pumps for all applications. Based on Clients requirements MIN-TEC offers slurry pumps from Italy.
