Integrating its rising range of products into engineered-to-order (ETO) options is more and more a lifestyle at Weir Minerals. The current launch of its dredge-mounted Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump shows how efficient this method may be, and how a lot it may possibly contribute to customers’ bottom traces.

WEIR MINERALS INTEGRATES KEY BRANDS IN MUDFLOW™ PUMP
Integrated solutions are what separates equipment suppliers from answer suppliers, argues Marnus Koorts, basic supervisor pump merchandise at Weir Minerals Africa – and the just lately launched Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump exhibits how this is accomplished.
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 responsibility 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.
“The Multiflo Mudflo pump successfully combines components of the Warman MGS submersible slurry pump-end, and a customized Multiflo designed bearing meeting 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 dust to be effectively pumped. He emphasises that the elements making up the Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump are drawn from Weir Minerals confirmed manufacturers, and are carefully combined to provide an built-in solution that saves customers time and money. It additionally reduces environmental impact, by avoiding the costly and energy-intensive course of excavating and trucking the material off website.
“The pump design consists of Weir Minerals’ Ultrachrome A05 chrome alloy casting for top wear resistance,” he says. “There is also a suction strainer to prevent excessively giant particles clogging the pump.”
This ensures that the unit delivers optimal uptime alongside excessive performance levels: the Mudflo™ 200 pump is able to pumping between 150 m3/h and 1,200 m3/h, as much as a head of eighty two metres. The pump can deal with a maximum particle size of 80 mm, and a maximum liquid temperature of 35°C.
“While pressure gauge ลม of products has grown organically over the years, it has become more systematic and deliberate as our product range has grown and turn out to be more numerous,” says Koorts. “The method we’ve developed this resolution exhibits the progress in current years 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 deliver more worth than the sum of their element components. In this case, the company’s dewatering experts had been able to draw on the most effective know-how from Weir Minerals’ Multiflo®, Warman® and Weir ESCO® manufacturers – combining them with superior hydraulics to create an innovative result.
“Our in depth footprint in the field and our shut collaboration with clients on a day by day basis offers us a detailed understanding of their particular requirements,” he says. “We can therefore ensure that our improvements are match for objective, being based mostly on our appreciable ETO capability and technical excellence.”
