A diverse range of solutions for the mining industry

Whether it is transferring corrosive and abrasive slurries, dewatering or dosing chemicals in mining and mineral processing operations, pumps need to be robust, reliable and durable.

To meet these tough demands, our wide range of long-life peristaltic pumps and hoses are designed to make mining and quarrying processes more efficient, profitable, and sustainable.

Our solutions help to achieve chemical and water savings, while minimising environmental impact and maintenance downtime for companies involved in various mining applications.

From metallic oxide to sulphide and carbon-based ore extraction, our pumps are specifically engineered for tough mining operations in harsh environments.

Unlike other types of pumps, our peristaltic pumps deliver exceptional results in handling viscous fluids and overcoming the challenges of abrasive, high-solid paste, and aggressive chemicals.

Running an optimised, sustainable mining and mineral processing operation has never been so important, due to the challenges posed by water availability, rising costs and stricter environmental regulations.

Water conservation is essential in dry countries and good water management minimises damage to the environment as well as disruption to mining operations.

Our reliable and efficient peristaltic pump technology for mining procedures can achieve water savings of 71% compared to typical centrifugal pumps.

Clog-free, robust and reliable Bredel hose pumps can handle undiluted tailings and thickener underflow with up to 80% solids. As Bredel hose pumps do not have seals, they eliminate the need for water flushing, so reduce the treatment of process wastewater and the need for pump service water.

By using Bredel to reduce water usage, a positive impact on the environment is created by decreasing the need for tailings storage and minimising the number of basins required.

Solutions to minimise impact on the environment

Reducing water usage also results in lower chemical usage and less energy required for treating process wastewater.

Qdos chemical metering and dosing pumps provide accurate, repeatable and contained reagent dosing, pH control and slurry transfer between flotation stages and milling stages.
 
Along with Watson-Marlow, Bredel hose pumps and Aflex hoses, Qdos pumps are used in the refining of critical minerals and metals such as lithium, which are essential for transitioning to greener energy.
