In mining operations, the use of peristaltic hose pumps plays a vital role in maintaining process stability and reducing operating costs. These pumps are specifically designed to handle high-solids slurries, abrasive and corrosive fluids, dense underflows, and heavy tailings under extremely demanding conditions.
Peristaltic hose pumps can transfer suspensions containing up to 80 % solids without service water and with minimal mechanical wear. The absence of seals, valves, and metal-to-fluid contact makes them exceptionally reliable when pumping abrasive or chemically aggressive media.
Key applications in the mining industry include:
- Thickener underflow transfer: Efficient handling of dense mineral slurries without clogging or flushing.
- Slurry and tailings transfer: Pumping high-solids content fluids throughout various mineral-processing stages.
- Accurate dosing of reagents and flocculants: Precise and consistent dosing for flotation, washing, and thickening processes.
- Mine water and wastewater management: Reducing fresh-water demand, enabling recirculation, and improving environmental performance.
Since the correct selection and operation of a peristaltic hose pump depend on multiple parameters—such as head, flow rate, solids content, chemical aggressiveness, suction and discharge conditions—technical expertise is essential. Incorrect sizing or specification can lead to premature hose wear or reduced performance.
Pars Hesgar Paj Co., drawing on extensive experience in the mining sector, designs and manufactures peristaltic hose pumps precisely matched to each process, ensuring maximum durability, efficiency, and operational reliability.
