Transferring abrasive ores

Safe transfer of tailings and waste

The transfer and handling ores and waste poses a challenge to the environment due to their highly abrasive a harsh chemical characteristics.

The high volumes of water that are used in tailing applications places further environmental and economic pressures on mining operations. Hose pumps use no mechanical seals, eliminating the need for costly seal flush water.

Transfer slurries with up to 80% solids.

As hose pumps require no mechanical seal flush water, they present a significant advantage over centrifugal pumps that can demand up to 72 litres of water, per minute. 

Only the inside of the hose comes into contact with the product. This significantly reduces maintenance downtime; replacing the hose can be performed in-situ, without special tools or skills, in minutes:

• Slurries with solids content (up to 80%) are handled with ease
• Output is unaffected by changing pressure, fluid viscosity or density increases
• Hose pumps use no mechanical seals, eliminating the need for seal flush water
• Fully reversible to blow out suction and drain lines safely
