OPTIMIZED PRODUCTIVITY FOR GRINDING CIRCUITS
Lower specific speed designA large diameter impeller results in slower pump rotational speed than competing designs, leading to extended wear life. The lower specific speed design also allows the pump to better meet the variable flow conditions encountered in mill circuits.
Longer wearing materialsMDX slurry pumps offer a wide range of white iron materials designed specifically to resist the abrasive nature of aggressive slurries. This, combined with thicker cross sections, translates into long and reliable pump service life.
Deep base circleMinimizes aggressive particle impingement and encourages sliding wear. Typical abrasive wear drops dramatically.
Slurry diverterThe latest technology dramatically increases suction liner life by reducing particle recirculation between the impeller and liner.
The MDX series of Outotec GIWTM slurry pumps* is optimized for heavy-duty use in the grinding mill circuit of a concentrator plant. With Outotec’s extensive expertise in comminution processes and global service and support network, we support you throughout the pump’s life cycle, improving the productivity of your process and operations.
The MDX pumps offer many unique features that improve reliability, performance and productivity of the grinding circuit.
Oversize shroudsLarger shrouds and extended vanes work in conjunction with the slurry diverter to provide additional clearing action, further reducing recirculation and grinding wear between the impeller and suction liner.
Adjustable suction linerAllows nose gap adjustment on the fly, which in turn reduces downtime and extends the wear life.
Patented inlet 5 vane impellerDesigned to efficiently transport aggressive slurries while maximizing pump performance and wear life, and minimize vibration.
Reduce downtime by matching life cyclesSelect the MDX pump for your next mill circuit application to help ensure cost-effective and continuous operations. The MDX pump maximizes productivity and minimizes cost by matching operating cycle times with scheduled mill outages.
Options are available to customize the MDX to suit a wide range of applications.
