Integrating its growing vary of products into engineered-to-order (ETO) solutions is increasingly a way of life at Weir Minerals. The recent launch of its dredge-mounted Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump shows how efficient this approach could be, and the way a lot it could contribute to customers’ backside lines.

WEIR MINERALS INTEGRATES KEY BRANDS IN MUDFLOW™ PUMP
Integrated options are what separates equipment suppliers from answer suppliers, argues Marnus Koorts, basic manager pump merchandise at Weir Minerals Africa – and the recently launched Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump exhibits how this is done.
This dredge/excavator-mounted, mud-pumping innovation was launched last yr, after being developed in response to a challenge which a customer confronted, says Koorts. It is a heavy responsibility hydraulic submersible slurry pump designed for abrasive applications and large particle dealing with. Its software is primarily in reprocessing and relocating tailings ponds, sustaining water retention dams and managing slimes and sludge ponds.
“The Multiflo Mudflo pump efficiently combines components 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 dual Multiflo CB33 hydraulic cutters with Weir ESCO excavation tooth.”
The cutters mechanically agitate the settled solids, permitting abrasive and extremely charged slurries and dirt to be effectively pumped. He emphasises that the elements making up the Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump are drawn from Weir Minerals proven brands, and are rigorously mixed to produce an integrated solution that saves customers money and time. It also reduces environmental impact, by avoiding the expensive and energy-intensive process excavating and trucking the material off web site.
“The pump design contains Weir Minerals’ Ultrachrome A05 chrome alloy casting for prime wear resistance,” he says. “There is also a suction strainer to prevent excessively massive particles clogging the pump.”
This ensures that the unit delivers optimum uptime alongside high efficiency ranges: 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 eighty two metres. The pump can deal with a most particle dimension of eighty mm, and a maximum liquid temperature of 35°C.
“While our integration of products has grown organically through the years, it has become more systematic and deliberate as our product vary has grown and turn into extra various,” says Koorts. “The means we now have developed this resolution exhibits the progress in latest years towards integrating our product strains to add worth to our choices.”
He notes that the process of ETO ensures that options developed by Weir Minerals’ engineering teams deliver extra worth than the sum of their part components. In this case, the company’s dewatering specialists had been ready to attract on the most effective expertise from Weir Minerals’ Multiflo®, Warman® and Weir ESCO® brands – combining them with superior hydraulics to create an innovative result.
“ ที่วัดแรงดันน้ำ in the area and our shut collaboration with clients every day gives us a detailed understanding of their particular requirements,” he says. “We can due to this fact ensure that our innovations are match for function, being primarily based on our appreciable ETO functionality and technical excellence.”
