A reliable solution for pumping mineral froth with challenging froth volume

Mineral froth pumping utilising centrifugal slurry pumps is a major engineering challenge for both the end users and pump manufacturers. The traditional approach has been to oversize the pump for pumping mineral froth. New horizontal slurry froth pump designs offer opportunities to improve froth pumping capability of mineral froth with challenging (high) Froth Volume Factor while maintaining high efficiency, long wear life and stable pumping performance.CITATION:Loderer, P and Roudnev, A, 2018.
