Due to the design the bearings are situated above the liquid level of the sump ensuring that any contamination from the slurry is removed. This also eliminates the need for the usual shaft sleeves used on other horizontal pumps. Added to this the true cantilever design it creates a pump that has a fast and efficient maintenance procedure ensuring down time is minimized.
As with all Metso Outotec pumps, the very best materials are used providing both excellent wear properties and corrosion resistance. Standard pumps are supplied with parts in wear resistant natural rubber or High Chrome white iron alloy, with a nominal hardness of 600 BHN so that operators can be assured they are getting the right pump for their application.
Similar to other pumps within the Metso Outotec portfolio the VS series utilizes a modular design sharing components across all of the vertical series VF- Vertical Froth and the VT- Vertical Tank.
The VS pump is available with both metal and rubber wet end materials with full interchangeability along with a range of different impeller and agitation options. The VS series pump offers the best proven sump agitation options available on the market. The availability of using spray holes, suction agitator or in extreme cases both ensure that all but the unforeseen items are removed from the sump.
