Increased Wear Life Lower Power Consumption On-line Wear Clearance Adjustment Increased Mill Throughput More Consistent Hydrocyclone Separation Less Downtime Following the dramatic success of the millMAX ™ metal slurry pump, FLSmidth Krebs has incorporated the patented features into a new slurryMAX ™ rubber lined pump product range. The patented feature has an externally adjustable wear ring that closes the suction side impeller clearance between the suction liner and the eye of the impeller. This clearance eliminates the problem conventional rubber lined pumps experience - that of pressure pulsations caused by the close proximity of the rotating raised expelling vanes to the suction liner, necessary to maintain flow, and subsequently generating heat in the liner and rubber devulcanization failure. The ability to control the suction side clearance reduces the hydraulic recirculation and therefore contributes to maintaining the design fl own over the life of the pump, increasing the life of the impeller. The extra-thick rubber lining has rigid reinforcement to preventcollapse onto the rotating impeller under upset vacuum conditions. Impellers are oversized in diameter and available in metal or elastomers. High pressure casings are available for applications requiring multiple pumps in series. Pump sizes are available from 2 (50mm) to 16 (400mm
