Integrating its rising range of merchandise into engineered-to-order (ETO) solutions is more and more a way of life at Weir Minerals. The recent launch of its dredge-mounted Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump reveals how efficient this strategy may be, and the way much it may possibly contribute to customers’ backside strains.

WEIR MINERALS INTEGRATES KEY BRANDS IN MUDFLOW™ PUMP
Integrated solutions are what separates gear suppliers from solution suppliers, argues Marnus Koorts, common supervisor pump merchandise at Weir Minerals Africa – and the lately launched Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump exhibits 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 confronted, says Koorts. It is a heavy obligation hydraulic submersible slurry pump designed for abrasive applications and huge particle handling. Its software is primarily in reprocessing and relocating tailings ponds, maintaining 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 dual Multiflo CB33 hydraulic cutters with Weir ESCO excavation teeth.”
The cutters mechanically agitate the settled solids, allowing abrasive and highly charged slurries and dust to be effectively pumped. He emphasises that the components making up the Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump are drawn from Weir Minerals confirmed manufacturers, and are rigorously combined to supply an integrated solution that saves prospects time and money. Complete reduces environmental impact, by avoiding the expensive and energy-intensive process excavating and trucking the material off website.
“The pump design contains Weir Minerals’ Ultrachrome A05 chrome alloy casting for prime wear resistance,” he says. “There can be a suction strainer to prevent excessively large particles clogging the pump.”
This ensures that the unit delivers optimum uptime alongside excessive efficiency ranges: the Mudflo™ 200 pump is able to pumping between one hundred fifty m3/h and 1,200 m3/h, up to a head of 82 metres. The pump can handle a maximum particle size of 80 mm, and a maximum liquid temperature of 35°C.
“While our integration of products has grown organically over time, it has become more systematic and deliberate as our product vary has grown and turn out to be more diverse,” says Koorts. “The means we now have developed this resolution shows the progress lately toward integrating our product lines 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 component elements. In this case, the company’s dewatering consultants were ready to draw on one of the best know-how from Weir Minerals’ Multiflo®, Warman® and Weir ESCO® manufacturers – combining them with advanced hydraulics to create an innovative outcome.
“Our in depth footprint in the subject and our close collaboration with clients on a daily basis gives us an in depth understanding of their specific requirements,” he says. “We can due to this fact ensure that our improvements are match for objective, being based on our considerable ETO capability and technical excellence.”
