FTC Slurry Pumps

Horizontal FTC Slurry Pumps

The Horizontal FTC Slurry Pump is a heavy-duty, versatile pump designed for reliable performance in a wide array of industrial settings. Its configuration allows for easy installation and maintenance, making it a preferred choice for standard plant layouts where accessibility is key.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Recessed Vortex Impeller: The open impeller is set back from the main flow path, creating a vortex that transfers energy gently to the slurry. This significantly reduces particle degradation and wear on the impeller itself.

• Robust Bearing Assembly: Engineered for trouble-free operation, the horizontal assembly features heavy-duty taper roller bearings, a rigid large-diameter shaft, and minimal overhang. It includes the unique “-10” end-cover assembly with V-Seals, double piston rings, and an external flinger for superior sealing and longevity.

• Clog-Resistant Design: Equally sized inlet and outlet ports prevent blockages by allowing large particles to pass through easily. The large-volume casing further reduces internal velocities, minimizing the risk of clogging and reducing wear.

• Durable All-Metal Construction: The unified, unlined all-metal wet-end components, crafted from high-chrome alloys, provide exceptional resistance to abrasion and corrosion, ensuring a long service life in demanding environments.

• Ease of Maintenance: The horizontal arrangement provides straightforward access to key components, simplifying inspection and routine maintenance procedures.

Typical Applications:

• Carbon Transfer Duties

• Sewage and Effluent Handling

• Sugar Beet Processing

• General Spillage Recovery

• Food Industry (low-shear duties)

Vertical FTC Slurry Pumps

The Vertical FTC Slurry Pump is engineered for applications where space is limited or where a sump/pit configuration is required. This model retains all the gentle handling benefits of the vortex design in a vertical spindle arrangement, ideal for immersion in tanks or pits.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Space-Saving Design: The vertical configuration is perfect for sumps, tanks, and pits, minimizing the pump's footprint and simplifying system design.

• Gentle Vortex Action: Like the horizontal model, it utilizes a recessed impeller to create an internal vortex, ensuring low-shear, low-degradation pumping of sensitive and large particles.

• Robust Vertical Drive: Built to handle the demands of vertical operation, the pump features standard vertical spindle arrangements with shaft lengths designed to meet various immersion depths, following proven engineering principles.

• Superior Sealing and Lubrication: The design incorporates effective sealing systems to prevent fluid ingress into the bearing assembly, ensuring reliable performance even when partially or fully submerged.

• Material Integrity Preservation: Excellent for applications like diamond concentrate or carbon transfer, where protecting valuable or fragile materials from breakage is economically critical.

Typical Applications:

• Sumps and Effluent Pits

• Carbon Transfer in Pulp Processes

• Diamond Concentrate Handling

• Wastewater and Sludge Processing
