There are many applications for pumps in the mining industry. Centrifugal pumps, slurry pumps, submersible pumps, magnetic drive pumps and diaphragm pumps are just some of the pumps used in the mining industry.
Slurry Pumps
Slurry pumps are usually submersible pumps, peristaltic pumps or centrifugal pumps. They are used to transfer slurries, which can be thick and/or abrasive. One of the most abrasive slurries is produced in the process of benefaction. Pumps for acidic chemicals and abrasive slurries must be able to produce high flow rates and operate under high pressure.
Every situation is different and it is crucial to select the correct pump models and types if you want to create and maintain a high-efficiency pumping operation. It is also important to choose the right materials for rubber or metallic lining depending on application. At Pump Solutions Australasia, our customer service staff has a great deal of knowledge about all of our product lines.
We can also provide access to dedicated customer service personnel from various pump manufacturers if needed for large projects.
Mine Dewatering Pumps
Simple submersible pumps can often be used for mine dewatering. Their advantage is that they can be submerged in water, thus ensuring that they are always primed. The water also acts as a cooling agent for the pump motors. The pumps are hermetically sealed, as are the power cords, to ensure that no fluids get inside of them.
Other Processes
We also carry a variety of pumps for mineral processing, reagent dosing, tailing, water supply, boosting and wastewater transfer.
