WEIR MINERALS INTEGRATES KEY BRANDS IN MUDFLOW™ PUMP
Integrated solutions are what separates tools suppliers from solution providers, argues Marnus Koorts, basic supervisor pump merchandise at Weir Minerals Africa – and the just lately launched Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump reveals how that is carried out.
This dredge/excavator-mounted, mud-pumping innovation was launched last yr, after being developed in response to a challenge which a buyer faced, says Koorts. It is a heavy duty hydraulic submersible slurry pump designed for abrasive applications and huge particle handling. Its utility is primarily in reprocessing and relocating tailings ponds, sustaining 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 enamel.”
The cutters mechanically agitate the settled solids, permitting abrasive and highly charged slurries and mud to be effectively pumped. pressure gauge 4 นิ้ว emphasises that the parts making up the Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump are drawn from Weir Minerals confirmed brands, and are fastidiously combined to supply an built-in answer that saves clients time and money. It also reduces environmental impact, by avoiding the expensive and energy-intensive course of excavating and trucking the fabric off site.
“The pump design includes Weir Minerals’ Ultrachrome A05 chrome alloy casting for prime put on resistance,” he says. “There can be a suction strainer to stop excessively giant 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 a hundred and fifty m3/h and 1,200 m3/h, up to a head of 82 metres. The pump can deal with a most particle size of eighty mm, and a maximum liquid temperature of 35°C.
“While our integration of products has grown organically over the years, it has become more systematic and deliberate as our product range has grown and become extra diverse,” says Koorts. “The method we have developed this solution reveals the progress lately toward integrating our product lines to add value to our offerings.”
He notes that the method of ETO ensures that options developed by Weir Minerals’ engineering teams deliver more value than the sum of their component parts. In this case, the company’s dewatering specialists were ready to draw on the most effective technology from Weir Minerals’ Multiflo®, Warman® and Weir ESCO® brands – combining them with advanced hydraulics to create an revolutionary end result.
“Our extensive footprint in the area and our close collaboration with customers on a daily basis offers us a detailed understanding of their specific necessities,” he says. “We can subsequently be sure that our innovations are match for purpose, being based on our appreciable ETO capability and technical excellence.”
