Used Pumps

3738394041

Overview

Pumps in mineral processing move slurry, water and chemical solutions through crushing, grinding and separation circuits at mines and mills. Common types include heavy-duty slurry pumps, dewatering pumps, dosing pumps and booster pumps. Key priorities are abrasion and corrosion resistance, solids handling, replaceable wear parts, and reliable performance curves. Buyers focus on capacity, head, material construction, spare parts availability and service history to maximize uptime in harsh environments.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used mineral processing pump?

Inspect impellers, liners, seals, shaft and bearings for wear; review performance curves and operating hours; confirm material compatibility (high-chrome, rubber liners); get maintenance records and any test run data.

How do I ship a heavy slurry pump safely?

Drain and clean fluids, secure removable parts, mount on a sturdy skid, protect wear surfaces, use correct lifting points/cranes, disclose weight and hazardous materials, and hire specialist heavy-equipment transport with insurance.

What maintenance keeps mineral processing pumps reliable?

Follow manufacturer lubrication intervals, monitor vibration and temperature, inspect seals and liners regularly, keep critical spares (impellers, liners, seals), flush systems after shutdowns and plan rebuilds when efficiency or vibration degrades.
