Don’t let product degradation or air locking ruin your site’s performance. Our hMAX and vMAX™ recessed-impeller pumps handle challenging slurries with ease. They are ideal for froth, large-particle, high-viscosity, and shear-sensitive applications in mining and mineral processing.
The recessed impeller design allows for the clear passage of air-entrained slurries without influencing the duty flow and head. Through constant recirculation, the open vortex impeller design allows for froth advancement without air locking. In fact, the hMAX can handle slurries containing up to 30% entrained air.
Large internal clearances allow the passage of large solids without contacting the impeller. This not only reduces impeller wear, but it also lowers the risk of clogging when handling slurries containing large solids and avoids product degradation in applications such as carbon transfer.
The vMAX pump is designed to resolve common sump pumping challenges, such as solids build-up at the suction inlet, leakage from the casing back, and excessive vibration. They make sump and plant clean-up a breeze, even when handling highly viscous fluids or slurries containing large solids.
Suitable for applications where tramp material, product degradation, or entrained air can affect pump performance, the hMAX slurry pump features a recessed impeller and large internal clearances within a heavy-duty concentric casing.
An optimised hydraulic design enables the vMAX pump to handle large solids and highly viscous fluids while its bottom-only suction configuration prevents clogging. It’s ideal for typical-to-extreme clean-up sump duties and can be supplied in a tank or on a skid.
We provide comprehensive lifecycle support services for your KREBS slurry pumps. Our global network of service and spare parts centres ensures prompt access to parts and consumables, as well as offsite rebuilds through our pump rebuild exchange program. Our onsite service engineers monitor pump performance, offering recommendations for upgrades or adjustments to operating practices to maintain optimal efficiency as process conditions evolve over time. Additionally, we offer operation and maintenance training, including guidance on adjusting the wear ring.
