OUTOTEC GIW SLURRY PUMPS
LSA SERIES
The LSA pump’s low maintenance and rugged
design features, combined with shell, impeller
and liner in proprietary Gasite® material, are
recognized worldwide for superior abrasion
resistance ready for heavy-duty service.
Several impeller options to fine tune pump
performance and customize pumping for your
needs are available, allowing optimum wear life
and sustained efficiency.
BENEFITS
• Adaptable platform for anticipating
changes in operating conditions
• Pressure versatility for mill duty to
multi-staged tailings applications
• Performance tuning with impeller
options to meet different duty
requirements
• Adjustability to increase wetted
parts wear life and reduce spare part
consumption

VERSATILE SLURRY PUMPS FOR HEAVY-DUTY APPLICATIONS

FROM GRINDING TO TAILINGS
Outotec GIWTM slurry pumps* provide you with an optimized and dependable solution for your slurry transport needs. We
can provide support for pumps, the slurry system, and process as a whole throughout the entire life cycle. With Outotec’s
extensive knowledge of processes and global support network, and with GIW’s research and technology in slurry pumps,
you can expect improved reliability and productivity for your process.

The LSA pumps are ideal for many types of heavy-duty applications in minerals processing, including cyclone feed,
flotation feed, and tailings transfer. With interchangeable components and options, the LSA pumps are highly flexible to
changing needs over the lifetime of your process.

Design Mechanical end

• Horizontal end suction construction. Single-wall pump
shell with replaceable suction side liner; four-vane
impeller or three-vane option for larger size solids.
Wear parts
• Impeller designed for wear-resistant operation in
highly abrasive slurries using a flow simulation soft-
ware.
• Two aramid gaskets aid in the removal of the impeller.
• Replaceable suction liner facilitates internal inspec-
tion of the pump and minimizes wear part usage and
cost. Liner can be rotated at intervals to increase wear
life.
• Pump shell is computer designed to optimize wear
and efficiency.
Shaft seal
• Replaceable wear plate maximizes stuffing box life.
Reduced water consumption options available.
• Shaft sleeve with fused carbide wear-resistant coating
to maximize packing life.
• Robust stiffened shaft to improve the wear life of the
mechanical end and stuffing box.
• Impeller release ring for safe and easy impeller
removal. Standard feature on larger pump sizes.
• Spring retainer ring locates the thrust bearing preload
springs for correct axial thrust load.
• Radial bearings are a heavy-duty, self-aligning, double
row, and spherical roller-type design.
• Split-cartridge bearing assembly offers ease of
inspection and maintenance.
• Accurate impeller clearance adjustments are easily
made with the adjusting screw.
• Labyrinth seals protect bearings.
Quick alignment and interchangeability
• Rabbet fits machined in the pedestal support the shell
and provide component alignment.
• To optimize wear life and efficiency, various hydraulic
design and material options can be used on the same
mechanical end.

THE LSA SERIES OFFERS A WIDE RANGE OF OPTIONS

LSA pumps can be customized to meet a wide range of

requirements. This allows customers to select the type,
size and operation speed that will perform the best.

The LSA series is divided into four pump groups:

• LSA S ― normal severe-duty requirements

• LSA Expanded ― duty-specific applications such as
high pressure, coarse and fine slurry
• LHD ― low head, high flow applications
• MHD ― medium head, high flow applications

For ease of maintenance and maximum reliability,

select the LSA pump.
