Transferring Thickener Subslurry with Verderflex

Solution

To solve these problems, the mining facility installed three Verderflex VF 80 Series hose pumps, which offer superior durability and long service life in corrosive environments.

• Expansion joints and flexible suction hoses were integrated to minimize impact losses.
• An 80-liter pulsation damper and flexible hose were fitted to the outlet of each pump to reduce vibrations and improve system performance.
• The hoses have a service life exceeding 4000 hours, providing superior durability under harsh conditions.
• In addition, three extra backup units are commissioned as part of an independent concentrate pumping station, guaranteeing continuous and reliable operation.

Benefits

• SRL reduced maintenance costs by eliminating frequent failures in centrifugal pumps.
• By providing a service life of over 4000 hours, it significantly extended maintenance intervals.
• It increased the plant's efficiency by preventing more than 100 hours of downtime annually.
• It optimized system stability by reducing vibrations and fluctuations.
• It exceeded operational targets and achieved 100% flow reliability.

As of today, Verderflex VF 80 Series hose pumps continue to demonstrate exceptional performance in handling highly abrasive thickened downstream sludge, proving to be a superior alternative to conventional centrifugal pump systems.
