Mining & Slurry Pumps
Mining & Contractor Pumps
Are built to handle the toughest and most abrasive slurries found in mining operations. These pumps are designed to withstand high pressure and solid content typical in mining processes such as coal, gold, and mineral extraction. Mining slurries are often composed of dense, coarse, and abrasive particles, making them difficult to transport without the right pumping system.
Key Features:
- High Solids Handling Capacity: These pumps are designed to handle thick, slurry mixtures containing large particles such as rocks, gravel, and coarse minerals.
- Heavy-duty Construction: They are constructed from strong materials like cast iron or other wear-resistant alloys to handle the abrasive nature of the materials.
- High Power Requirements: Centrifugal mining pumps are built to operate under high pressure and deliver a substantial flow rate, ensuring efficient slurry transportation even in large mining operations.
Applications:
- Coal mining.
- Mineral extraction.
- Gold mining.
- Heavy-duty material transport in mining sites.
Slurry Pumps
Are versatile pumps used across many industries to handle a wide variety of slurries, including those that contain abrasive and corrosive materials. These pumps are engineered to move mixtures of liquid and solid particles, making them an essential tool in industries beyond mining, such as wastewater treatment, coal washing, and pulp and paper production.
Key Features:
- Durability: Designed to handle abrasives, slurry pumps are constructed from high-strength materials like high-chrome alloys or rubber linings to minimize wear.
- Versatility: Slurry pumps are adaptable and can handle slurries with a wide range of consistencies, from low-viscosity to highly viscous mixtures.
- Wide Range of Applications: They are commonly used in industries like mining, agriculture, and waste management for tasks that require the transportation of slurry.
Applications:
- Coal washing.
- Pulp and paper production.
- Wastewater treatment.
- Sand and gravel processing.
