The HFD Horizontal Froth Pump is a specialized, heavy-duty abrasive slurry pump engineered specifically to overcome the most challenging problems in the mining industry: stubborn froth and high-viscosity liquids. Designed as a high-performance replacement for the AHF series, the HFD pump eliminates the common issue of air binding and surging that plagues standard centrifugal pumps, ensuring seamless transport of minerals in copper, alumina, and ore mining operations.
By integrating a unique inducer blade impeller and an oversized inlet, the HFD pump effectively handles dense media and viscous slurries with higher solids concentration limits. This advanced engineering allows for a smaller pump selection without sacrificing efficiency, significantly reducing power costs and preventing feed tank overflows, making it the ideal choice for flotation processes where strong agents create tough, air-filled bubbles.
