millMAX after 1500 hours

of wear

The millMAX Pump has a unique

patented design developed exclusively for
mill discharge duties and adapted for other
severe abrasive slurries.
The same wet end components can be
offered as a conversion kit to existing
pumps, without the need to disturb the
foundation or existing bearing frame
assembly.
The millMAX Pump features a patented
on-line wear clearance adjustment, which
minimizes the cost per ton pumped
compared to conventional hard metal and
rubber lined slurry pumps through:

Increased wear life

Even wear life of all wet end parts
Less down time
Lower power consumption
Increased mill throughput
More consistent cyclone separation
Improved gland seal performance
Low-cost no risk wet end
replacement

The Heart of the Design

The patented on-line suction side wear
clearance adjustment permits the initial
clearances to be maintained throughout
the life of the pump. This extends the life of
the impeller and suction wear faces to near,
or equal that of, the casing for a one time
maintenance rebuild.
The reduction of solids grinding between
the impeller and suction side reduces power
consumption and wear. The millMAX
Hybrid Suction Sealing System maintains
constant flow and pressure, without
increasing speed or the danger of motor
overload.

millMAX Hybrid Suction

Sealing System

Tight clearances at
the wear ring prevents suction-side
recirculation.

Krebs millMAX Pumps treat the cause of

pump wear and loss of efficiency, whereas
competitive pumps treat the symptoms
through materials or predictive uneven wear
rates.
In most established millMAX installations,
wear life of parts has been even and in
the majority, overall wear life has generally
improved by 50% to 100%. This increase
in wear life is achieved together with a
reduction in power, generally in the 10% to
20% or lower range.
The reduction in power can then be taken
as a cost savings, or through additional
pumping capacity with the same installed
motor.
With the millMAX Hybrid Suction Sealing
System, the front clearance is adjusted
while the pump is running, and takes only
five minutes to perform. This clearance
is adjusted normally six to eight times
throughout the life of the wet end parts.

WET END CONVERSIONS

The Krebs millMAX Pump is a new design,
hard metal pump and wet end conversion
kit, designed exclusively for mill discharge
and other abrasive slurries. The Krebs
millMAX Pump adapts to a variety of power
frames without disturbing the foundation or
bearing frame assemblies.

10 x 8 - US - Coal

The millMAX design can be applied to an

existing pump through a wet end conversion
kit, including impeller, casing, backliner, and
gland seal.

The millMAX conversion kit is supplied

with an adapter ring, seals, and all hardware
to adapt to a variety of power frames. This
achieves the same results as a complete
pump on a maintenance budget.

TECHNICAL

High Performance Centrifugal

Dry Gland Seal
Large expeller diameter generates high suction level sealing
capacity.
Zero leakage while operating.

SPECIFICATIONS
Slurry pumps are Krebs millMAX design and include the following:
CASING - designed for minimum slurry turbulence and even
wear. Includes (14x12 and smaller) integral wear ring, carrier,
and adjustment screws for on-line adjustment and elimination of
suction side recirculation.
WEAR RING - adjustable wear ring assembly to permit closing
of suction side impeller clearance during operation. This reduces
slurry recirculation and lowers pressure at the suction area,
thereby maintaining flow and reducing wear.
IMPELLER - designed for high slurry efficiency and hydraulic
performance. Machined surface at the eye for wear ring adjustment and high expelling vanes.

High Radial Vanes

Clears large solids.
Prevents solids from being crushed.
Reduces casing slurry pressure at the eye
of the impeller.

WEAR PARTS - designed hydraulically to wear evenly. Constructed of high chrome at 680/720 Brinell hardness.
POWER FRAME - heavy duty cast iron pedestal with external
bearing assembly adjustment mechanism. Drilled for overhead
motor mounting assembly.

External Wear Adjustment

Screw
Four screws for on-line wear
clearance adjustment.
Adjusted while the pump is
operating.
Adjusted six to eight times
during the life of the pump.

FLANGES - loose intake and discharge flanges drilled to suit various pipe requirements.
BEARING ASSEMBLY - heavy duty shaft and indirect fitted
taper roller bearings rated at 100,000 hrs B-10 life minimum.
Bearing arrangement designed to prevent over greasing and ingress
of slurry.

BACKLINER - designed for close clearance at the back (14x12

and smaller), or SUCTION LINER with integral wear ring
(16x14 and larger). Matching full impeller diameter and profile
for close operating clearance.

Adjustable Wear Ring

Wear ring takes up clearance at the impeller.
Adjusted during operation.
Reduces suction side recirculation.
Maintains hydraulic performance.

millMAX Power Frame

Heavy duty cast pedestal.
External bearing assembly adjustment.
Wide bearing centers.
Heavy duty shaft and bearings.
Double clamp.

Wide Clearance
Dramatic reduction in crushing of
solids.
Increased wear life.
Reduced power consumption.

No adjustment of impeller once

the pump is installed.

FULL FLOW
Reverse Taper Roller Bearings
Increases effective load span to improve life.
Main bearing failure is due to over greasing.
Pumping action of taper rollers discharges grease to the
outside, preventing ingress of slurry or over greasing of
bearing cartridge.
