Integrated options are what separates equipment suppliers from solution suppliers, argues Marnus Koorts, general manager pump products at Weir Minerals Africa – and the lately launched Multiflo® Mudflo™ pump shows how that is accomplished.
This dredge/excavator-mounted, mud-pumping innovation was launched final 12 months, after being developed in response to a problem which a customer faced, says Koorts. It is a heavy responsibility hydraulic submersible slurry pump designed for abrasive purposes and enormous particle dealing with. Its software is primarily in reprocessing and relocating tailings ponds, sustaining water retention dams and managing slimes and sludge ponds.
“The Multiflo Mudflo pump efficiently combines elements of the Warman MGS submersible slurry pump-end, and a customized Multiflo designed bearing assembly coupled to a hydraulic motor,” he says. “Another key ingredient is the pairing of twin Multiflo CB33 hydraulic cutters with Weir ESCO excavation teeth.”
The cutters mechanically agitate the settled solids, permitting abrasive and extremely charged slurries and dust to be efficiently pumped.

The pump can deal with a maximum particle dimension of eighty mm, and a maximum liquid temperature of 35°C.
“While our integration of merchandise has grown organically over the years, it has turn out to be extra systematic and deliberate as our product vary has grown and turn into more numerous,” says Koorts. “The method we’ve developed this solution reveals the progress in latest years towards integrating our product strains to add worth to our choices.”
