Mining and Ore Processing

Improve Reliability, Maximize Production

Maximizing productivity and uptime are crucial to mining operations. Whether you extract, process or refine; abrasion, dirt, slurry, water, and corrosion all have an enormous impact on equipment reliability. Choosing the right partner that understands these challenges and provides reliable solutions is essential.

We operate in the mining industry so we understand your challenges

Solutions You Can Count On

Mechanical seals and packing for pumps and other rotating equipment

Slurry is the mixture of an insoluble substance consisting of solids suspended in a liquid matter that is generally, but not always, water. Slurries will vary depending on the properties of the solids. They can be abrasive and corrosive, and create a variation in the viscosity of the fluid.

Sealing slurries often results in potential clogging, abrasion, and significant energy costs. In mining or ore processing, the situation is often compounded by operations in remote locations that have little backup inventory and 24-hour operational expectations. Choosing the right sealing technology for a pump or mixer has a significant impact on the lifetime operational cost.
