Transferring abrasive liquids from one place to another without any breakdown is difficult. Additionally, in open pit mining or underground mining, pump failures stop the mines. The workers need to wait until the pumps start working again. It leads to huge losses for the mining company. As per statistics, industries lose 27 hours of downtime every month due to machine failure.
Slurry pumps can be used in various pump designs to remove slurry from mining sumps and tailing ponds. The submersible or self-priming heavy-duty mining pumps can be operated by electrical or hydraulic power.
To ensure longevity and high performance for mining applications, pump casing, bearing brackets, and other critical components are cast in high chromium or stainless steel. The ingenious design of these pumps enables them to function normally even when exposed to debris. Due to the absence of an impeller in the design, tolerance issues are also avoided.
