Metso MD
Series wet-end detail for identification
MD pumps include hard-metal-lined MDM and rubber-lined MDR versions for grinding mill circuits (SAG/ball mill discharge, cyclone feed, tailings). Do not treat MD as the same wet-end family as Orion or Thomas Simplicity. Submit the nameplate, MDM/MDR tag, inlet size and liner execution with clear photographs of the installed wet end. ANRANST supplies aftermarket wear parts after identification — we do not publish ANRANST catalogue numbers as OEM equivalents.
MDM — hard-metal-lined
MDM uses a hard-metal-lined wet end for abrasive mill-discharge and related slurry duties. Confirm casing/liner stack and impeller from the installed pump, not from size tables alone.
- Typical wet-end items: impeller, thickened casing and hard-metal liners (exact split per drawing to verify ).
- Enquiry fields:
MDM_or_MDR, inlet_size, liner_execution.
Identify your pump parts — send nameplate, MDM tag and wet-end photos.
MDR — rubber-lined
MDR is the rubber-lined execution of the MD platform. Same nominal size as an MDM unit does not prove liner or impeller interchange without checks.
- Enquiry fields:
MDM_or_MDR, inlet_size, liner_execution.
Identify your pump parts — state rubber-lined MDR on the enquiry.
