Weir Minerals launches submersible pump for large particle handling
Weir Minerals has launched the new Multiflo Mudflo hydraulic submersible slurry pump.
Engineered for abrasive applications and large particle handling, the pump features a hydraulically driven wet-end specifically designed to efficiently and safely reprocess and relocate tailings ponds, maintain water retention dams and manage slimes and sludge ponds.
The innovative solution combines the Warman MGS pump-end, Multiflo CB32 hydraulic cutters and ESCO excavation teeth to provide efficient pumping of highly charged and abrasive slurries.
Engineered by the Weir Minerals dewatering pump experts in Australia, it is available for global customers from July 2021.
“The Multiflo brand is synonymous with high quality and long-lasting equipment. In designing the Mudflo pump, our dewatering experts drew from the very best Multiflo, Warman and ESCO technology and used advanced hydraulics to create an innovative and cost-effective new solution for mine dredging applications,” said Cameron Murphy, director of dewatering Weir Minerals APAC.
“It is not uncommon for sites to use a combination of pumps, shovels, excavators and trucks for dredging applications. When one of our long-time partners in Indonesia contacted us about developing a custom solution for the slurry build-up in their sumps, we knew we could provide a better solution,” said Geoff Way, Weir Minerals dewatering specialist.
The Multiflo® Mudflo pump can also be retrofitted to competitor OEM equipment; the quick-hitch plate attachment ensures convenient installation and removal from hydraulic excavators. It can be assembled on land, eliminating the safety risks associated with assembling pumps over water. Furthermore, the new hydraulic hose management system reduces the risk of hose entanglement and trip hazards, all the while providing a reliable hose bend radius to ensure smooth oil flow.
