Ore concentrate sampling

Consistent, accurate and repeatable flow in ore concentrate sampling

Sampling analysis is key to understanding the composition of ore across the entire bulk. Processing pumps in sampling must be capable of working with 100% volumetric accuracy under varying process conditions.

Fluctuation in solids content impact the specific gravity (SG) and viscosity of slurry can negatively impact the performance of a centrifugal pump. Bredel peristaltic hose pumps provide consistent, accurate and repeatable performance, regardless of the SG and viscosity.

Hose pumps are unaffected by viscosity, specific gravity or discharge head

Long discharge lines create higher pumping pressure. Peristaltic hose pumps are positive displacements pumps, and the Best Efficiency Point is not applicable.

• No internal slip
• 100% volumetric efficiency with varying slurry properties 
• Discharge line length is not critical to pump performance
