Summary
Slurry pump. Now ex-situ but may be the one that receives correctly sized particles from the Rake Classifier (NT/FCO21) in the form of a slurry (pulp) that it pumps via a plastic pipe to the Zinc Rougher Flotation Cells (NT/FCO24) on Floor 6. (See also NT/FCO32). Described by Leeson and Mead 1997 as 'Close coupled electric motor and pump (?actuator)' and numbered by them 22A (although they subsequently realised that it has no connection with NT/FCO22).
