    Product Introduction

    The SHF Horizontal Froth Pump is a centrifugal slurry pump specially developed for handling frothy and high-viscosity slurry generated in flotation processes.

    Based on the proven SH heavy-duty slurry pump platform, the SHF series incorporates an inducer blade impeller and enlarged inlet throat bush to improve suction performance and froth handling capability.

    During flotation operations, slurry often contains a large amount of entrained air and increased viscosity, which can cause unstable flow, reduced efficiency and blockage problems in conventional slurry pumps.

    The SHF Horizontal Froth Pump is designed to overcome these challenges by providing stable transportation of air-containing slurry with reduced NPSH requirements.

    Why Use SHF Horizontal Froth Pump?

    Frothy slurry transportation requires different pump characteristics compared with conventional slurry handling.

    Air bubbles and high slurry viscosity can affect pump suction performance and create unstable operating conditions.

    The SHF series improves flotation pumping reliability through:

    • Enhanced froth intake capability
    • Reduced NPSH requirements
    • Improved suction stability
    • Lower risk of air blockage
    • Better handling of high-viscosity slurry

    This makes it suitable for demanding flotation and mineral processing applications.
