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

WEIR MINERALS INTEGRATES KEY BRANDS IN MUDFLOW™ PUMP
Integrated solutions are what separates gear suppliers from resolution providers, argues Marnus Koorts, common manager pump products at Weir Minerals Africa – and the recently launched Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump reveals how this is done.
This dredge/excavator-mounted, mud-pumping innovation was launched last year, after being developed in response to a problem which a buyer faced, says Koorts. It is a heavy duty hydraulic submersible slurry pump designed for abrasive functions and enormous particle handling. Its application is primarily in reprocessing and relocating tailings ponds, sustaining water retention dams and managing slimes and sludge ponds.
“ เกจวัดอาร์กอน combines elements 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 twin Multiflo CB33 hydraulic cutters with Weir ESCO excavation tooth.”
The cutters mechanically agitate the settled solids, permitting abrasive and extremely charged slurries and dust to be efficiently pumped. He emphasises that the components making up the Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump are drawn from Weir Minerals confirmed brands, and are carefully mixed to produce an integrated resolution that saves clients time and money. It additionally reduces environmental impact, by avoiding the expensive and energy-intensive course of excavating and trucking the material off web site.
“The pump design includes Weir Minerals’ Ultrachrome A05 chrome alloy casting for prime put on resistance,” he says. “There can also be a suction strainer to stop excessively large particles clogging the pump.”
This ensures that the unit delivers optimal uptime alongside excessive performance 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 deal with a most particle measurement of eighty mm, and a maximum liquid temperature of 35°C.
“While our integration of products has grown organically through the years, it has turn into more systematic and deliberate as our product range has grown and become extra various,” says Koorts. “The way we now have developed this solution exhibits the progress in current times towards integrating our product strains to add value to our offerings.”
He notes that the process of ETO ensures that solutions developed by Weir Minerals’ engineering groups ship more value than the sum of their part parts. In this case, the company’s dewatering specialists were able to draw on one of the best technology from Weir Minerals’ Multiflo®, Warman® and Weir ESCO® brands – combining them with advanced hydraulics to create an innovative outcome.
“Our in depth footprint in the area and our shut collaboration with customers on a day by day basis provides us a detailed understanding of their specific necessities,” he says. “We can subsequently make positive that our innovations are fit for objective, being based on our considerable ETO capability and technical excellence.”
