Integrating its growing range of merchandise into engineered-to-order (ETO) solutions is more and more a lifestyle at Weir Minerals. The current launch of its dredge-mounted Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump exhibits how effective this approach may be, and how a lot it can contribute to customers’ bottom lines.

WEIR MINERALS INTEGRATES KEY BRANDS IN MUDFLOW™ PUMP
Integrated options are what separates equipment suppliers from solution providers, argues Marnus Koorts, general manager pump merchandise at Weir Minerals Africa – and the recently launched Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump exhibits how that is accomplished.
This dredge/excavator-mounted, mud-pumping innovation was launched final yr, 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 purposes and large particle dealing with. Its application is primarily in reprocessing and relocating tailings ponds, maintaining water retention dams and managing slimes and sludge ponds.
“The Multiflo Mudflo pump successfully combines components of the Warman MGS submersible slurry pump-end, and a custom Multiflo designed bearing meeting coupled to a hydraulic motor,” he says. “Another key ingredient is the pairing of twin Multiflo CB33 hydraulic cutters with Weir ESCO excavation tooth.”
The cutters mechanically agitate the settled solids, allowing abrasive and highly charged slurries and dirt to be effectively pumped. He emphasises that the parts making up the Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump are drawn from Weir Minerals proven brands, and are carefully mixed to produce an integrated resolution that saves customers time and money. It additionally reduces environmental influence, by avoiding the expensive and energy-intensive process excavating and trucking the material off site.
“The pump design includes Weir Minerals’ Ultrachrome A05 chrome alloy casting for prime wear resistance,” he says. “There can be a suction strainer to forestall excessively giant particles clogging the pump.”
This ensures that the unit delivers optimum uptime alongside high efficiency levels: the Mudflo™ 200 pump is able to pumping between 150 m3/h and 1,200 m3/h, as a lot as a head of 82 metres. The pump can deal with a maximum particle measurement of eighty mm, and a most liquid temperature of 35°C.
“While our integration of products has grown organically over time, it has become more systematic and deliberate as our product vary has grown and turn into extra numerous,” says Koorts. “The means we’ve developed this answer exhibits the progress in current years toward integrating our product traces to add value to our offerings.”
He notes that the process of ETO ensures that options developed by Weir Minerals’ engineering groups deliver more worth than the sum of their part components. In this case, the company’s dewatering specialists were in a position to draw on one of the best technology from Weir Minerals’ Multiflo®, Warman® and Weir ESCO® manufacturers – combining them with superior hydraulics to create an innovative outcome.
“Our intensive footprint in the field and our shut collaboration with customers each day offers us an in depth understanding of their particular necessities,” he says. “ หลักการทํางานของpressuregauge can subsequently ensure that our innovations are match for purpose, being based on our appreciable ETO functionality and technical excellence.”
