Integrating its rising range of merchandise into engineered-to-order (ETO) solutions is more and more a way of life at Weir Minerals. Sale ends soon of its dredge-mounted Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump reveals how efficient this strategy may be, and how a lot it can contribute to customers’ backside lines.

WEIR MINERALS INTEGRATES KEY BRANDS IN MUDFLOW™ PUMP
Integrated options are what separates equipment suppliers from resolution suppliers, argues Marnus Koorts, general supervisor pump products at Weir Minerals Africa – and the recently launched Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump reveals how that is carried out.
This dredge/excavator-mounted, mud-pumping innovation was launched last 12 months, after being developed in response to a problem which a buyer faced, says Koorts. It is a heavy obligation hydraulic submersible slurry pump designed for abrasive purposes 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 efficiently combines parts 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 dual Multiflo CB33 hydraulic cutters with Weir ESCO excavation tooth.”
The cutters mechanically agitate the settled solids, allowing abrasive and highly charged slurries and mud to be effectively pumped. He emphasises that the elements making up the Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump are drawn from Weir Minerals proven brands, and are carefully mixed to produce an integrated resolution that saves clients time and money. It also reduces environmental influence, by avoiding the pricey and energy-intensive course of excavating and trucking the fabric off site.
“The pump design consists of Weir Minerals’ Ultrachrome A05 chrome alloy casting for prime wear resistance,” he says. “There is also a suction strainer to stop excessively large 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 a lot as a head of 82 metres. The pump can handle a most particle size of eighty mm, and a most liquid temperature of 35°C.
“While our integration of products has grown organically over the years, it has turn out to be more systematic and deliberate as our product vary has grown and turn into extra various,” says Koorts. “The means we have developed this answer exhibits the progress in current years toward integrating our product traces to add worth to our offerings.”
He notes that the process of ETO ensures that options developed by Weir Minerals’ engineering groups deliver more value than the sum of their component parts. In this case, the company’s dewatering specialists have been ready to draw on the most effective expertise from Weir Minerals’ Multiflo®, Warman® and Weir ESCO® manufacturers – combining them with superior hydraulics to create an progressive result.
“ Downloadable in the field and our close collaboration with prospects each day provides us a detailed understanding of their particular necessities,” he says. “We can subsequently be certain that our innovations are fit for purpose, being based mostly on our appreciable ETO capability and technical excellence.”
