Mining Pump Applications

One of the most visible aspects of the mining industry are mine tailings or mine dumps. It is necessary to displace mine tailings to a location offsite of the mining operation so that it does not pile up and hinder the mining process. Pumping these high solid slurries can wreak havoc on traditional centrifugal pumps, causing them to lose suction and efficiency. By using a slurry pump, you can ensure a longer pump life, and less maintenance ensure the operation is uninterrupted.

Common Mining Applications

• Mineral slurry transfer
• Dewatering
• Explosives
• Back filling applications
• Yellow cake

• Gland seal water
• Chemical metering
• Leachates
• Thickener underflow pumps
• Wastewater processing
