Process Pumps for Mining

For pumping harsh fluids in the mining industry our pumps have none of the disadvantages of other pump types and ensures accurate and reliable metering and significantly reduced maintenance cost. Watson-Marlow Bredel tube pumps can handle shear sensitive polymers for flocculation, abrasive lime slurries for pH control, or corrosive chemicals like cyanide for gold recovery. Our pumps provide a flow variation over their working life within +/-1% for either high or low pressure. Backed by an industry leading 5-year warranty Watson-Marlow Bredel’s 520, 620, and 720 series tube pumps offer extraordinary accuracy and speed control. In the mining industry, water is money and the less you use the better. Flushing pump seals and diluting thickened slurries is incredibly costly to a mine because the water added has to be removed or treated. Watson-Marlow Bredel hose pumps have no seals to flush and the ability to pump thickened slurries up to concentrates of 80% solids. Not to mention the SPX hose pump handles abrasive and corrosive fluids typically used in mining operations that present a challenge to other pump types. In a Watson-Marlow Bredel hose pump, the hose is the core of our pump and never fails due to abrasion.
