The KSB / GIW HVF can be retrofit into many existing froth applications. The pump's de-aeration system includes a KSB / GIW patent-pending vented impeller and airlock venting. This helps to eliminate sump overflow due to pump airlock; reduce downtime; and allow water use to be restricted to the bare minimum. Fewer pumps are required for less capital expense, requiring less water and power usage.
HVF pump has been fully tested on froth and viscous liquids. The pump exceeded expectations at a large phosphate company in Finland. The company's existing pumps were not able to provide the required flow and were air locking at only 1/3 process design capacity. After installing the HVF pump, the company achieved a flow of 415 m3/hr. The result ? A very satisfied customer.
Designed for air-entrained slurries, the pump can be used in phosphate mining, hard rock mining and oil sands. The pump offers improved efficiency and is environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
