The application of hose pump in mining is mainly the application of abrasive slurry. Mechanical seals usually fail quickly. Peristaltic pump can pump out fluids and solids with different viscosities, which is very suitable for mining applications. The viscosity range of materials pumped by hose pump can reach 60000cps, and the flow can reach 660gpm.
Typical applications of hose pumps in mining are:
Conveying sludge
Hose pump is used to transport clay suspension
Transport lead sulfate
Conveying pyrite slurry
Conveying lime slurry
Conveying flocculant and reagent feed
Measurement of transported cyanide
Conveying activated carbon
Transport sulfuric acid
Conveying thickener
Transporting copper tailings
Features of hose pump used for mining:
♦  No seals, no valves.
♦  Self priming, just replace the pipe.
♦  Dry - no damage operation, reversible.
♦  There is no contact between the product and mechanical parts.
♦  Capable of pumping products with solid parts inside.
♦  Easy to maintain, low cost, short downtime.
