Warman® WBH® pump increases flow rate, decreases costs in tailings disposal
13th August 2018
Weir Minerals’ implementation of a Warman® WBH® 100 pump saves our customer's operation A$114k per annum.
Randalls Gold Project in Australia was experiencing poor operational efficiency, cost of spares and long delivery lead time. With a new tailings pipeline requiring increased flow capacity, they turned to Weir Minerals to optimise their operation.
The Weir Minerals team designed a custom solution that integrated the implementation of a Warman® WBH® 100 pump within the existing system.
The implementation of the new WBH® pump has resulted in savings of A$114k p.a. in total ownership costs in their tailings disposal application and optimised flow rate to 265 m3/h – a 34% increase from competitor pumps.
The next generation of our Warman® AH® pumps, Warman® WBH® heavy-duty slurry pumps optimise all aspects of wear and performance while delivering a lower total cost of ownership (TCO). These centrifugal process pumps are typically used in heavy-duty applications such as mill discharge, slurry transfer and process pumping and are suitable for both greenfield and brownfield installations (Service Class 1-4). With your general slurry process pumping requirements front of mind, the Warman® WBH® slurry pump range offers numerous design enhancements based on the latest slurry pumping technology to help ensure productivity demands are met.
