MetsoOutotec introduces MDM900, one of the world’s largest mill discharge slurrypumps.

MetsoOutotec has introduced the Metso Outotec MDM900 mill discharge slurry pump, thelatest addition to its flagship Mill Discharge (MD) Pump Series. The massiveMDM900 is one of the world’s largest mill discharge slurry pumps designed forheavy-duty use in concentrator plants where capacity and wear-resistance are ofessence. The MDM900 is an all-metal, thick-walled, extra heavy-duty pumpdesigned specifically for extremely arduous mill duty applications.

“Slurryhandling is vital in maximizing a minerals processing plant’s productivity andefficiency. The advanced design of the MDM900 enables minimized slurryvelocities in the pumps, thus reducing the rate of wear significantly. Thistranslates to increased uptime and productivity for our customers. We are alsoproud to have implemented many environmentally sustainable design initiativesin the MDM900 pump, which is part of our Planet Positive offering, as are all our MD Seriespumps. As examples of its environmentally sustainable features, I would like tomention the reduced footprint of this massive pump, and its standard low-flowshaft seal to minimize the pump’s freshwater requirement during operation,”says Diwakar Aduri, Product Manager for MD Pumps at Metso Outotec.

• Flows up to 13,500 m³/h (60,000gpm).

• Heads up to 40 m (132 ft).

• Frame: FR2100.

• Impeller diameter: 2100 mm (83 inches).

• Inlet size: 900 mm (36 inches). 

MetsoOutotec MD Series pumps offer outstanding uptime and sustained efficiencies.The MD pumps have been designed for efficient operation and long wear life tomatch the mill’s uptime.

MetsoOutotec’s MD Series pumps come in two tailored solutions – MDM and MDR. The MDM(Mill Discharge Metal) pumps are available in size ranges of 250-900, and theMDR (Mill Discharge Rubber) models come in size ranges of 250-700. Both pumptypes are suited for heavy-duty use in concentrator plants offering excellentresistance to abrasion and erosion.
