Integrating its growing vary of products into engineered-to-order (ETO) options is increasingly a way of life at Weir Minerals. The current launch of its dredge-mounted Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump shows how effective this approach can be, and the way much it might possibly contribute to customers’ backside lines.

WEIR MINERALS INTEGRATES KEY BRANDS IN MUDFLOW™ PUMP
Integrated solutions are what separates gear suppliers from answer providers, argues Marnus Koorts, basic manager pump products at Weir Minerals Africa – and the recently launched Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump shows how this is done.
This dredge/excavator-mounted, mud-pumping innovation was launched final 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 functions and huge particle handling. Its software is primarily in reprocessing and relocating tailings ponds, maintaining water retention dams and managing slimes and sludge ponds.
“The Multiflo Mudflo pump successfully combines parts 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 enamel.”
The cutters mechanically agitate the settled solids, permitting abrasive and highly charged slurries and mud to be efficiently pumped. He emphasises that the components making up the Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump are drawn from Weir Minerals confirmed manufacturers, and are rigorously combined to supply an built-in resolution that saves prospects money and time. It additionally reduces environmental impact, by avoiding the expensive and energy-intensive process excavating and trucking the fabric off web site.
“The pump design consists of Weir Minerals’ Ultrachrome A05 chrome alloy casting for prime wear resistance,” he says. “There is also a suction strainer to stop excessively large particles clogging the pump.”
This ensures that the unit delivers optimum uptime alongside excessive performance ranges: the Mudflo™ 200 pump is capable of pumping between 150 m3/h and 1,200 m3/h, up to a head of 82 metres. The pump can handle a maximum particle dimension of eighty mm, and a most liquid temperature of 35°C.
“While our integration of products has grown organically over the years, it has turn into more systematic and deliberate as our product range has grown and become extra various,” says Koorts. “The means we have developed this resolution exhibits the progress in current years toward integrating our product lines to add worth to our offerings.”
He notes that the method of ETO ensures that solutions developed by Weir Minerals’ engineering teams ship extra worth than the sum of their component parts. In this case, the company’s dewatering experts have been ready to draw on one of the best know-how from Weir Minerals’ Multiflo®, Warman® and Weir ESCO® manufacturers – combining them with advanced hydraulics to create an innovative outcome.
“Our intensive footprint in the area and our shut collaboration with clients every day offers us an in depth understanding of their particular requirements,” he says. “We can subsequently make certain that our improvements are match for objective, being primarily based on our appreciable ETO functionality and technical excellence.”
