GIW HVF high-volume froth pump

GIW Industries has launched a high-volume froth (HVF) pump that can pump froth without airlocking. The HVF provides continuous operation without shutdown or operator intervention. Its hydraulic design removes air from the impeller eye while the pump is running, so the process can be kept moving, improving efficiency.

The GIW HVF can be retrofitted into many existing froth applications. The pump’s deaeration system includes a vented impeller and airlock venting. This helps to eliminate sump overflow due to pump airlock, reduces downtime, and allows water use to be restricted to the bare minimum. Fewer pumps are therefore required, for less capital expense, and requiring less water and power usage.

GIW’s HVF pump has been fully tested on froth and viscous liquids. Designed for air-entrained slurries, the pump can be used in phosphate mining, hard rock mining and oil sands.
