SHF froth pump is a horizontal centrifugal slurry pump specially designed for handling frothy slurry with air content and high viscosity. Based on the SH series design, it is optimized for stable transport of foam slurry in mineral processing and flotation systems.
Product Overview
The SHF froth pump is developed to solve common pumping problems associated with frothy and aerated slurry. Its design ensures stable performance where traditional slurry pumps may experience air locking or reduced efficiency.
It is widely used in flotation processes and mineral separation systems.
Key Design Features
- Wide throat bush design reduces NPSH requirement
- Inducer blade impeller ensures smooth froth intake
- Optimized inlet structure improves flow stability
- Based on SH pump frame for easy interchangeability
- Standard SH wet-end components for reduced inventory cost
- Suitable for high air content and viscous slurry
Specifications
- Size range: 50 mm – 200 mm (2” – 8”)
- Flow capacity: up to 2000 m³/h
- Head: up to 60 m
- Pressure: up to 1.725 MPa (150 psi)
- Pump type: Horizontal centrifugal froth pump
Applications
SHF froth pump is widely used in:
- Mineral flotation systems
- Mining separation processes
- Froth and foam slurry transport
- Chemical processing plants
- Industrial slurry with air content
Product Advantages
- Stable pumping of frothy slurry without air lock
- Improved efficiency in flotation circuits
- Reduced NPSH requirement
- Easy maintenance with SH series compatibility
- Lower spare parts inventory due to interchangeability
Product Structure
SHF froth pump is based on SH series frame design and consists of:
- Pump casing
- Inducer impeller
- Throat bush
- Shaft and bearing assembly
- Sealing system
The wet-end parts are interchangeable with SH series components, improving maintenance efficiency.
Selection Guide
SHF froth pump is recommended for:
- High air content slurry
