Integrating its rising range of products into engineered-to-order (ETO) options is more and more a lifestyle at Weir Minerals. The recent launch of its dredge-mounted Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump exhibits how effective this strategy may be, and the way a lot it could contribute to customers’ backside traces.

WEIR MINERALS INTEGRATES KEY BRANDS IN MUDFLOW™ PUMP
Integrated solutions are what separates tools suppliers from answer suppliers, argues Marnus Koorts, general supervisor pump merchandise at Weir Minerals Africa – and the lately launched Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump shows how this is accomplished.
This dredge/excavator-mounted, mud-pumping innovation was launched last year, after being developed in response to a problem which a customer faced, says Koorts. It is a heavy obligation hydraulic submersible slurry pump designed for abrasive purposes and large particle dealing with. Its utility is primarily in reprocessing and relocating tailings ponds, maintaining water retention dams and managing slimes and sludge ponds.
“ Ironclad combines elements of the Warman MGS submersible slurry pump-end, and a custom 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 tooth.”
The cutters mechanically agitate the settled solids, allowing abrasive and extremely charged slurries and mud to be efficiently pumped. He emphasises that the parts making up the Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump are drawn from Weir Minerals confirmed brands, and are rigorously combined to produce an built-in answer that saves clients money and time. It also reduces environmental impression, by avoiding the expensive and energy-intensive process excavating and trucking the fabric off web site.
“The pump design contains Weir Minerals’ Ultrachrome A05 chrome alloy casting for high wear resistance,” he says. “There can be a suction strainer to stop excessively giant particles clogging the pump.”
This ensures that the unit delivers optimal uptime alongside high performance levels: the Mudflo™ 200 pump is able to pumping between one hundred fifty m3/h and 1,200 m3/h, up to a head of eighty two metres. The pump can handle a maximum particle measurement of 80 mm, and a maximum liquid temperature of 35°C.
“While our integration of merchandise has grown organically over the years, it has turn into extra systematic and deliberate as our product vary has grown and become more diverse,” says Koorts. “The method we’ve developed this answer exhibits the progress in recent years towards integrating our product strains to add worth to our choices.”
He notes that the process of ETO ensures that solutions developed by Weir Minerals’ engineering teams deliver extra value than the sum of their part parts. In this case, the company’s dewatering experts were in a position to attract on the best expertise from Weir Minerals’ Multiflo®, Warman® and Weir ESCO® manufacturers – combining them with advanced hydraulics to create an revolutionary outcome.
“Our in depth footprint within the area and our close collaboration with clients on a day by day basis offers us an in depth understanding of their particular requirements,” he says. “We can therefore make sure that our innovations are fit for objective, being based mostly on our considerable ETO functionality and technical excellence.”
