Vertical froth pumps are specialized centrifugal pumps designed for flotation cells, leaching circuits, and other mineral processing applications where aerated slurries must be pumped efficiently. Unlike horizontal pumps, they are submersible or tank-mounted, saving space and improving air handling.
✔Froth-Specific Hydraulics
Wide impeller vanesprevent air blockage (handlesup to 30% air).
Deaeration ventsrelease trapped air.
✔Vertical Design Benefits
No priming needed(self-filling when submerged).
Compact footprint(ideal for flotation cell banks).
No shaft deflection issues(unlike horizontal pumps).
✔Robust Wear Protection
High-chrome alloys (Cr27, Cr30)for abrasive slurries.
Rubber-lined optionsfor corrosive froth.
✔Sealing Options
Expeller + packing gland(standard).
Mechanical sealsfor hazardous chemicals.
Flotation Cells (Copper, Gold, Zinc, Coal)
Leach & CIP Circuits
Scavenger/Rougher Tailings
Thickener Underflow Recirculation
