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.

Overview

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.

Key Features

✔ Froth-Specific Hydraulics

Wide impeller vanes prevent air blockage (handles up to 30% air).

Deaeration vents release 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 options for corrosive froth.

✔ Sealing Options

Expeller + packing gland (standard).

Mechanical seals for hazardous chemicals.

Typical Applications

Flotation Cells (Copper, Gold, Zinc, Coal)

Leach & CIP Circuits

Scavenger/Rougher Tailings

Thickener Underflow Recirculation

Comparison: Vertical vs. Horizontal Froth Pumps

Feature	Vertical Froth Pump	Horizontal Froth Pump
Footprint	Compact (tank-mounted)	Larger (requires floor space)
Priming Needed?	No (self-filling)	Yes (may need priming)
Air Handling	Better (natural deaeration)	Good (requires venting)
Maintenance	Easier (top-access)	More complex (bearing checks)
Installation Cost	Higher (structural support)	Lower
