New Submersible Dewatering Pumps from Weir
Minerals
Weir Minerals, specialists in the delivery and
support of slurry equipment solutions, including pumps,
hydrocyclones, valves and wear-resistant linings, have now added a
range of submersible mine dewatering pumps to their product
portfolio.
Application of the company’s specialist slurry
knowledge and experience from around the world in global mining and
mineral-processing industries has resulted in the development of
the Warman SJ submersible dewatering pump range.
Typical applications for the Warman SJ range
include: sand, gravel and hard rock quarrying, opencast mine
dewatering, clarified water, underground mine dewatering, alluvial
mining level control, and mineral processing plants.
Equipped for immediate use, the Warman SJ
submersible dewatering pumps’ robust but low-weight design,
encapsulated motor and no external moving parts make installation
and operation easy, trouble-free and safe.
A modular design and common component
philosophy has been used throughout the entire range with
interchangeable spare parts. This, together with simple access to
the separate sealed electrical junction box and easily adjusted and
replaced wet end parts, ensures easy service and maintenance.
The Warman SJ dewatering pumps are submersible
to a depth of 20m and have no suction lift limitations, making them
superior to self-priming pump systems; there are no suction hoses
and no vacuum priming issues. Moreover, the pump does not need to
be moved with varying water levels and is designed to run dry in
the event of the water level becoming too low.
Standard features of the Warman SJ pump range
include:
- heavy-duty construction and lightweight
portability for durability and strength with ease of transport,
maintenance and less downtime
- optimum mix of wear-resistant materials,
giving full utilization of wearing parts for maximum wear life
- modular design for easy adjustment and
replacement of wear parts and less downtime
- common components between sizes for reduced
spares inventory and ease of maintenance
- simple access to the separate sealed
electrical junction box for ease of cable replacement
- temperature sensors on the motor windings to
allow automatic shutdown in the event of overheating, allowing the
pump to run dry without the risk of burn-out
- high-specification mining cable as
standard
- silicon carbide faces on the primary seal for
long life in dirty-water applications.
In slurry pumping, processing and control
applications, where the cost of ownership often outweighs capital
cost, Weir Minerals say they are committed to helping customers
address such issues as longevity, capacity, efficiency of operation
and ease of maintenance.
Weir Minerals offer an advanced product range
incorporating market-leading brands covering virtually any
application, in any environment, including Warman centrifugal
slurry pumps, Geho PD slurry pumps, Cavex hydrocyclones, Isogate
slurry valves, and Vulco wear-resistant linings.
