Integrating its growing vary of products into engineered-to-order (ETO) solutions is more and more a lifestyle at Weir Minerals. The recent launch of its dredge-mounted Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump exhibits how effective this strategy could be, and the way a lot it could contribute to customers’ backside traces.

WEIR MINERALS INTEGRATES KEY BRANDS IN MUDFLOW™ PUMP
Integrated solutions are what separates tools suppliers from answer suppliers, argues Marnus Koorts, general supervisor pump products at Weir Minerals Africa – and the recently launched Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump exhibits how this is carried out.
This dredge/excavator-mounted, mud-pumping innovation was launched last year, after being developed in response to a challenge which a buyer confronted, says Koorts. It is a heavy obligation hydraulic submersible slurry pump designed for abrasive applications and large particle handling. Its software is primarily in reprocessing and relocating tailings ponds, maintaining water retention dams and managing slimes and sludge ponds.
“ pressure gauge octa combines parts of the Warman MGS submersible slurry pump-end, and a custom Multiflo designed bearing meeting coupled to a hydraulic motor,” he says. “Another key ingredient is the pairing of twin Multiflo CB33 hydraulic cutters with Weir ESCO excavation enamel.”
The cutters mechanically agitate the settled solids, permitting abrasive and extremely charged slurries and mud to be effectively pumped. He emphasises that the parts making up the Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump are drawn from Weir Minerals proven brands, and are carefully mixed to supply an integrated answer that saves prospects money and time. It also reduces environmental influence, by avoiding the pricey and energy-intensive process excavating and trucking the material off website.
“The pump design consists of Weir Minerals’ Ultrachrome A05 chrome alloy casting for prime wear resistance,” he says. “There can be เพรสเชอร์เกจ to stop excessively large particles clogging the pump.”
This ensures that the unit delivers optimum uptime alongside excessive efficiency 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 dimension of eighty mm, and a most 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 out to be extra diverse,” says Koorts. “The way we have developed this answer exhibits the progress in current years toward integrating our product strains to add value to our choices.”
He notes that the process of ETO ensures that solutions developed by Weir Minerals’ engineering groups ship more worth than the sum of their part components. In this case, the company’s dewatering consultants were ready to draw on the best technology from Weir Minerals’ Multiflo®, Warman® and Weir ESCO® manufacturers – combining them with superior hydraulics to create an innovative result.
“Our extensive footprint within the subject and our close collaboration with customers on a day by day basis gives us a detailed understanding of their specific requirements,” he says. “We can due to this fact be positive that our improvements are fit for purpose, being primarily based on our appreciable ETO capability and technical excellence.”
