slurryMAXTM Pump Products
slurryMAXTM Pump
This heavy duty, split case design pump, incorpo-
rates hydraulic efficiency and the proven millMAX
Wear Ring technology to create the most efficient
and longest lasting pump of its kind. With multiple
liner and impeller material options, the slurryMAX
is designed to handle the majority of applications
of any plant across multiple industries.
slurryMAXTM-XD Pump
The slurryMAX-XD has found success all over the
world in the most aggressive applications for the
slurryMAXTM -XD Pump
last 9 years. Extremely thick elastomer liners and
heavy duty impeller give this pump extended wear
life on top of the advantages gained from the
millMAX Suction Side Sealing System.
slurryMAXTM-HP Pump
The high pressure version of the slurryMAX-XD,
perfect for multistage high pressure pumping
systems. With more bolts and ribs added to the
outer casing, the slurryMAX-HP uses all of the same
extreme wear parts as the XD, allowing for long life
and consistent performance.
slurryMAXTM -HP Pump
slurryMAXTM-XHP Pump
The slurryMAX-XHP was added to the range to
allow customers to design pumping systems with
more stages and final discharge pressure. The XHP
still uses the same wear parts as the XD, but with
an even more robust outer casing than the HP.

KREBS® slurryMAXTM XD & HP Pumps
The Krebs slurryMAX™ pump
design includes the following:
Casing LIners: Designed to withstand
slurry turbulence and allow for a wide
operating flow range. Natural rubber No movement of the bearing assembly to adjust
is the standard due to its ability to impeller clearances within the pump is required
withstand abrasion. after start up as the wear ring adjustment
maintains hydraulic performance through
the life of the pump.
Wear Ring: Adjustable wear ring
assembly to permit closing of suction
side impeller clearance during operation.
Impeller: Designed for high slurry
efficiency and hydraulic performance.
Machined surface at the eye for wear
ring adjustment and high expelling
vanes. Multiple options are available,
including high efficiency and elastomer
options.
Outer Casing: The outer casing is made
of rib reinforced iron to contain extreme
operating pressures
Power Frame: Heavy duty cast iron
pedestal with external bearing assembly
adjustment mechanism. Drilled for
overhead motor mounting assembly.
Bearing Assembly: Heavy duty shaft
and indirect fitted taper roller bearings
rated at 100,000 hrs B-10 life minimum.
Narrow Clearance
Reduces pressure at gland to
assist centrifugal dry gland seal
Reverse Taper Roller Bearings:

• Pumping action of taper rollers
discharges grease to the outside,
preventing ingress of slurry

Thick rubber liners increase
operating life of wear parts
Steel reinforcing plates provides
stability to rubber liners and
prevents deflection under vacuum.
Large Clearance
• Increases suction liner wear life
• Reduced power consumption
• Allows pump to operate at higher
speed and generate higher head
without liner devulcanization
Adjustable Wear Ring
• Adjusted while pump is running
• Takes up clearance at the impeller
• Reduces suction side recirculation
• Maintain hydraulic performance
Steel pipe in suction liner prevents
liner from collapsing under vacuum.
