Integrating its growing range of products into engineered-to-order (ETO) options is increasingly a way of life at Weir Minerals. The recent launch of its dredge-mounted Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump exhibits how effective this approach may be, and the way much it could contribute to customers’ bottom strains.

WEIR MINERALS INTEGRATES KEY BRANDS IN MUDFLOW™ PUMP
Integrated solutions are what separates tools suppliers from solution providers, argues Marnus Koorts, general supervisor pump products at Weir Minerals Africa – and the just lately launched Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump shows how this is done.
This dredge/excavator-mounted, mud-pumping innovation was launched final yr, after being developed in response to a challenge which a buyer faced, says Koorts. It is a heavy responsibility hydraulic submersible slurry pump designed for abrasive functions and enormous particle dealing with. Its application is primarily in reprocessing and relocating tailings ponds, maintaining water retention dams and managing slimes and sludge ponds.
“The Multiflo Mudflo pump successfully combines parts 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 dual Multiflo CB33 hydraulic cutters with Weir ESCO excavation teeth.”
The cutters mechanically agitate the settled solids, permitting abrasive and highly charged slurries and mud to be effectively pumped. He emphasises that the components making up the Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump are drawn from Weir Minerals confirmed brands, and are fastidiously mixed to produce an integrated solution that saves customers money and time. It additionally reduces environmental impression, by avoiding the expensive and energy-intensive process excavating and trucking the fabric off site.
“The pump design contains Weir Minerals’ Ultrachrome A05 chrome alloy casting for top wear resistance,” he says. “There can also be a suction strainer to prevent excessively massive particles clogging the pump.”
This ensures that the unit delivers optimum uptime alongside excessive performance levels: the Mudflo™ 200 pump is able to pumping between one hundred fifty m3/h and 1,200 m3/h, as much as a head of 82 metres. The pump can handle a maximum particle measurement of eighty mm, and a most liquid temperature of 35°C.
“While our integration of merchandise has grown organically through the years, it has turn out to be extra systematic and deliberate as our product vary has grown and turn out to be extra diverse,” says Koorts. “The means we now have developed this resolution shows the progress lately toward integrating our product lines to add worth 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 elements. In this case, the company’s dewatering experts were in a position to draw on the most effective know-how from Weir Minerals’ Multiflo®, Warman® and Weir ESCO® manufacturers – combining them with superior hydraulics to create an innovative outcome.
“ เกจ์ลมsumo in the subject and our shut collaboration with prospects each day provides us a detailed understanding of their specific requirements,” he says. “We can therefore make sure that our innovations are fit for purpose, being primarily based on our appreciable ETO functionality and technical excellence.”
