Low maintenance pumps for transferring underflow slurry.
The primary purpose of thickener is to increase solids concentration of the underflow feed stream in mineral recovery.
Solids content above 40% can have a negative impact on the efficiency of a thickener underflow pump, leading to damage and maintenance downtime. Our Bredel peristaltic hose pumps are positive displacement pumps, with no components coming into contact with the underflow slurry and can handle slurries with a solids content of up to 80%.
Obstructions in the flow stream can lead to maintenance downtime and lost production. Peristaltic hose pumps are reversible, allowing obstructions to be safely cleared from the flow stream.
