Engineered to enhance the efficiency of pumping frothy slurries, the Metso Sala VF Series is ideal for applications involving air-entrained slurries.

Optimised Pumping for Frothy Slurries

The Metso Sala VF Series vertical froth pumps are designed to handle air-entrained slurries commonly found in flotation processes and mixing applications. Featuring a conical sump with a tangential inlet, these pumps create a vortex that separates air from the slurry, reducing air locking and improving pump efficiency. The cantilever shaft design eliminates the need for submerged bearings and shaft seals, ensuring minimal maintenance. Wear parts are available in various materials, including natural rubber and high-chrome iron, to suit different applications.
