KREBS millMAX™ TECHNOLOGY
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 Improved gland seal performance
Less down time Low-cost — no risk wet end replacement
Lower power consumption
Increased mill throughput
More consistent cyclone separation

millMAX™ PUMPS
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 pump-
ing 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. 10 x 8 US Coal
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.
