Horizontal & Vertical Pump Solutions

Metso Slurry Processing Pumps.

Reliable Pumping in Abrasive, High-Solids Applications

Heavy-Duty Slurry Handling.

Metso slurry pumps are built for moving abrasive and high-density slurries across demanding mining and material processing applications. With horizontal and vertical configurations available, these pumps handle tough duties like cyclone feed, mill discharge, and tank transfer while delivering long service life and efficient performance.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Metso slurry pumps are designed for abrasive, high-density slurries containing solids. Typical media includes mineral concentrate, mill discharge, cyclone feed, tailings, and thickener underflow.

Horizontal slurry pumps are used for inline or floor-mounted applications like cyclone feed or flotation circuits. Vertical slurry pumps are designed for sump or tank installations where the pump is partially or fully submerged.

Pump components are available in high-chrome white iron, rubber, or polyurethane, depending on the application. Material choice is based on particle size, chemical composition, and pH of the slurry.

Pump selection depends on flow rate (m³/h), head (m), slurry density, solids concentration (%), and particle size distribution. MIMICO provides support to calculate duty points and recommend the right Metso pump model.

Wear part lifespan depends on the abrasiveness of the slurry and operational duty. However, Metso pumps are modular, allowing fast replacement of liners, impellers, and casings to minimise downtime.

Yes, Metso pumps are available in a wide range of discharge sizes and configurations. Flange options and drive types (direct coupled, belt-driven, or VSD) can be customised for existing setups.

Vertical slurry pumps (e.g. tank and sump pumps) can run dry temporarily due to their cantilevered shaft design. However, horizontal pumps must be primed and should not be run dry.

Yes, for corrosive slurries or those with low pH, Metso offers material options such as rubber-lined components or specialised alloys to resist chemical attack.
