Froth Pump

Froth Pump

The Froth Pump is specialized heavy-duty centrifugal slurry pump engineered for high-air-content frothy slurry generated in mineral flotation circuits. Equipped with enlarged suction inlet and inducer semi-open impeller structure, it effectively eliminates air-locking risk which troubles ordinary slurry pumps. Available in horizontal AHF and vertical AF cantilever versions. It can transport abrasive froth concentrate with volume air content up to 30%. Widely applied for non-ferrous metal concentrators, coal-preparation plants, metallurgical flotation workshops and chemical froth-medium conveying projects.

This Froth Pump provides two main structural configurations: horizontal double-casing type and vertical cantilever type. The enlarged tangential suction port cooperates with inducer semi-open impeller to break massive bubbles and discharge entrapped air inside slurry. Wetted components can adopt high-chromium alloy, natural rubber or polyurethane to handle abrasive and slightly corrosive frothy medium.We deliver professional flotation-condition selection calculation, factory performance test report, installation-operation manual and full set export-oriented technical documents. OEM service and full-range interchangeable wear spare-parts are available for mineral-processing plant requirements.

Product Advantages

 

Powerful Anti-air-locking Froth-handling Capacity

Unique inducer impeller plus oversized tangential inlet disintegrate froth and exhaust trapped air, avoiding air-binding failure common for standard slurry pumps on flotation froth service.

Two-type Structural Alternatives

Horizontal AHF for large-volume continuous froth transportation; vertical AF cantilever without submerged seals, perfectly suited for flotation cell overflow transfer scenarios.

Multiple Wetted-part Material Options

High-chromium alloy, rubber and polyurethane liners optional to match abrasive or mildly corrosive frothy slurry conditions.

Flexible Shaft-seal Solutions

Expeller dynamic seal supports zero sealing-water operation; packing seal and mechanical seal adapt different on-site water-supply resources.

Stable Operation Under Poor-feed Condition

Optimized hydraulic profile maintains stable running even with insufficient incoming froth from flotation cell overflow.

Convenient Maintenance & Complete Spare-parts

Quick-replaceable wear-resistant wetted components; interchangeable spare-parts with short lead-time minimize mine-site production downtime loss.

 

Product Customization

 

 

 

Structure Customization: Select horizontal AHF or vertical AF cantilever model according to site layout, liquid-level fluctuation and installation space constraints.

Wetted-part Material: Custom high-chromium alloy, natural rubber or polyurethane wetted components based on particle hardness and medium corrosiveness.

Performance Adjustment: Adjust impeller specification, rotating speed and drive mode (V-belt / direct coupling) to satisfy target flow and head. Shaft Seal Configuration: Configure expeller seal, packing seal or mechanical seal subject to on-site sealing-water supply actual situation. OEM & Spare-part Service: Accept customer-branded OEM production; supply impeller, liner, throat bush and other replaceable wear parts per drawings or samples.

FAQ

Q: Why cannot ordinary slurry pumps work reliably for flotation froth conveying?

A: Conventional slurry pumps easily suffer air-locking caused by high air volume inside froth, resulting in flow fluctuation, heavy vibration and even complete loss of delivery capacity.

Q: What working-condition parameters should be submitted for quotation of Froth Pump?

A: Please provide required flow rate, total head, froth volume air content, solid weight concentration, medium abrasion-corrosion property, installation pattern and destination port information.

Q: Can vertical froth pump be directly mounted below flotation-cell overflow outlet?

A: Yes. Vertical AF series without submerged bearing and shaft seal is purpose-built for flotation-trough overflow. Please keep medium immersion depth within allowable technical range.
