Types of pumps suitable for mine sites

-

Mine sites demand durability and reliability above all else for critical equipment such as pumps. Besides this, it is important that these pumps can handle the arduous nature of the pumped liquid.

With a wide variety of pumps available for mine sites, deciding which one is right for your application can be challenging.

In this blog, we chat with our specialised Project's Team to identify the different types of mine pumps available and what applications they are most suitable for.

 

SGB Pumps recommend the following pumps for mine sites:

Slurry Pumps

Slurry pumps are specifically built to handle the highly abrasive, high-density nature of slurries. Depending on the brand, slurry pumps maintain high efficiencies over the wear life of their components. There are a wide range of construction materials for maximum abrasion and corrosion resistance to suit various demanding mine site applications.

 

SGB Slurry Pump

SGB slurry pump offer operators a completely different customer-centric user experience. Designed for continuous pumping of abrasive and high-density slurries, SGB slurry pump is low maintenance, durable and reliable. Rubber and metal-lined pumps are available, with split casing for easy maintenance. To ensure greater chemical resistance, liners are available in different materials.

Available in a horizontal or vertical construction, there is a SGB slurry pump for your mine site!

Peristaltic Hose Pumps

Peristaltic hose pumps are suitable for pumping liquids containing sands and other slurries with a high amount of particulate matter, or viscous fluids. Features of most hose pumps include accurate and repeatable dosing, low maintenance and energy efficiency.

 

We offer the longest lasting hose of any peristaltic hose pump brand - allowing operators to rest easy knowing their product is durable and reliable. 

Peristaltic hose pumps are a popular choice for corrosive and abrasive slurries and chemical reagent dosing. With a wide variety of sizes available, including the largest high pressure hose pump in the world, the peristaltic hose pump can reach flow rates up to 180 L/hr.

 

Magnetic Drive Pumps

Mag-drive pumps are a leak-free centrifugal pump, suitable for corrosive or hazardous chemicals, including those that are dirty, aggressive, solids laden liquids. One of the most important features of magnetic drive pumps is the fact that they are sealed from the drive end and the driving power is transmitted via magnetic force using powerful synchronous magnetics (magnetic coupling). This construction offers leak-free, safe operation when handling dangerous liquids.

 

Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps

AOD pumps, sometimes referred to as pneumatic diaphragm pumps, are reciprocating pumps which provide a leak-free pumping option for tough, mine site applications. Depending on the type of liquid or slurry being pumped, there are a variety of materials of construction to ensure chemical compatibility as well as reliability and durability.

 

Depending on the product being pumped, these AOD pumps are available in polypropylene, conductive polypropylene, PVDF, acetal, aluminum, cast iron and stainless steel 316.

These pumps are self-priming, dry running, rugged construction and are externally serviceable. The pumps also offer externally serviceable air distribution systems, making these pumps easy to fix.

How to choose the right shaft seal for your slurry pump?

In the classification of pumps, according to its condition of conveying slurry, we call the pump which is suitable for conveying liquid (medium) containing suspended solids as slurry pump. Slurry pump is currently one of the indispensable equipment in various processes such as mineral processing, coal processing, desulfurization and filter press feeding. As people pay more and more attention to environmental protection, the sealing of slurry pump is also paid more and more attention. Slurry pump shaft seal  mainly has three kinds: packing seal, vice impeller seal and mechanical seal. Each of these three shaft seals has its own advantages, which are introduced as follows.     Packing seal. The packing seal of the slurry pump relies on the soft and hard grinding between the packing and the shaft sleeve to achieve the sealing effect. Packing seal needs to add shaft seal water, and its pressure must exceed the slurry pump discharge pressure. This type of seal is easy to replace and is wide

Slurry Pump For Sale A slurry pump  is a type of pump designed for pumping liquid containing solid particles. Slurry pumps changes in design and construction to adjust to multiple type of slurry which varies in concentration of solids, size of solid particles, shape of solid particles, and composition of solution. Slurry pump are more robust than liquid pumps; they have added sacrificial material and replaceable wear parts to withstand wear due to abrasion. Centrifugal, positive displacement, and vortex pumps can be used for slurry. Centrifugal slurry pumps can have between bearing-supported shafts with split casing or rubber- or metal-lined casing. Configurations include horizontal, vertical suspended and submersible. SGB Slurry Pump  is usually classified according to the concentration of solids. Engineering classification of slurry is more complex and involves concentration, particle size, shape and weight in order to determine abrasion severity.
