WEIR MINERALS INTEGRATES KEY BRANDS IN MUDFLOW™ PUMP
Integrated options are what separates equipment suppliers from solution suppliers, argues Marnus Koorts, common manager pump merchandise at Weir Minerals Africa – and the lately launched Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump shows how that is done.
This dredge/excavator-mounted, mud-pumping innovation was launched final yr, after being developed in response to a problem which a customer confronted, says Koorts. It is a heavy responsibility hydraulic submersible slurry pump designed for abrasive applications and large particle dealing with. Its utility is primarily in reprocessing and relocating tailings ponds, sustaining water retention dams and managing slimes and sludge ponds.
“The Multiflo Mudflo pump efficiently combines components of the Warman MGS submersible slurry pump-end, and a customized Multiflo designed bearing assembly coupled to a hydraulic motor,” he says. “Another key ingredient is the pairing of twin Multiflo CB33 hydraulic cutters with Weir ESCO excavation teeth.”
The cutters mechanically agitate the settled solids, allowing abrasive and extremely charged slurries and dust to be effectively pumped. He emphasises that the parts making up the Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump are drawn from Weir Minerals confirmed brands, and are fastidiously mixed to supply an integrated answer that saves customers time and money. It additionally reduces environmental impact, by avoiding the expensive and energy-intensive process excavating and trucking the material off site.
“The pump design includes Weir Minerals’ Ultrachrome A05 chrome alloy casting for prime wear resistance,” he says. “There can also be a suction strainer to stop excessively large particles clogging the pump.”
This ensures that the unit delivers optimum uptime alongside excessive performance levels: the Mudflo™ 200 pump is capable of pumping between a hundred and fifty m3/h and 1,200 m3/h, up to a head of eighty two metres. The pump can handle a most particle size of eighty mm, and a maximum liquid temperature of 35°C.
“While our integration of merchandise has grown organically through the years, it has turn out to be more systematic and deliberate as our product range has grown and turn out to be extra diverse,” says Koorts. “The method we’ve developed this answer shows the progress in current times toward integrating our product strains to add value to our offerings.”
He notes that the method of ETO ensures that solutions developed by Weir Minerals’ engineering teams ship extra worth than the sum of their element parts. In this case, the company’s dewatering specialists were in a position to attract on the best know-how from Weir Minerals’ Multiflo®, Warman® and Weir ESCO® brands – combining them with advanced hydraulics to create an revolutionary result.
“Our extensive footprint in the area and our close collaboration with customers every day offers us an in depth understanding of their particular necessities,” he says. “We can subsequently ensure that our innovations are match for objective, being based mostly on our considerable ETO capability and technical excellence.”
