Integrating its growing range of products into engineered-to-order (ETO) options is increasingly a lifestyle at Weir Minerals. The latest launch of its dredge-mounted Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump shows how efficient this approach may be, and the way a lot it could contribute to customers’ bottom strains.

WEIR MINERALS INTEGRATES KEY BRANDS IN MUDFLOW™ PUMP
Integrated options are what separates tools suppliers from solution suppliers, argues Marnus Koorts, common supervisor pump products at Weir Minerals Africa – and the just lately launched Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump exhibits 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 responsibility hydraulic submersible slurry pump designed for abrasive functions and huge particle handling. Its application is primarily in reprocessing and relocating tailings ponds, sustaining 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 custom Multiflo designed bearing assembly coupled to a hydraulic motor,” he says. “Another key ingredient is the pairing of dual Multiflo CB33 hydraulic cutters with Weir ESCO excavation tooth.”
The cutters mechanically agitate the settled solids, permitting abrasive and highly charged slurries and mud to be efficiently pumped. He emphasises that the elements making up the Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump are drawn from Weir Minerals proven brands, and are carefully mixed to provide an built-in solution that saves clients time and money. Explode reduces environmental impact, by avoiding the expensive and energy-intensive process excavating and trucking the material 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 prevent excessively giant particles clogging the pump.”
This ensures that the unit delivers optimal uptime alongside excessive performance levels: the Mudflo™ 200 pump is able to pumping between a hundred and fifty m3/h and 1,200 m3/h, up to a head of 82 metres. The pump can deal with a maximum particle measurement of 80 mm, and a maximum liquid temperature of 35°C.
“While our integration of products has grown organically over the years, it has become more systematic and deliberate as our product range has grown and turn out to be extra numerous,” says Koorts. “The method we now have developed this solution exhibits the progress in latest times toward integrating our product traces to add worth to our choices.”
He notes that the method of ETO ensures that options developed by Weir Minerals’ engineering teams deliver extra value than the sum of their element components. In this case, the company’s dewatering specialists were ready to attract on the most effective technology from Weir Minerals’ Multiflo®, Warman® and Weir ESCO® manufacturers – combining them with superior hydraulics to create an innovative end result.
“Our in depth footprint in the area and our close collaboration with customers on a daily basis provides us a detailed understanding of their specific necessities,” he says. “We can subsequently be positive that our improvements are match for function, being based on our appreciable ETO functionality and technical excellence.”
