Mining and quarry applications are primarily abrasive slurry applications. Mechanical seals usually fail quickly. Peristaltic pumps can pump fluids and solids of varying viscosities, making them ideal for mining applications. Viscosity ranges up to 60,000 CPS and flow rates up to 660 GPM.
Working principle of hose pumps used in mining:
A special rubber hose with smooth inner wall and reliable strength is installed inside the pump body, and is rotated and squeezed along the hose through a pair of pressure rollers. This rotation makes the medium convey in one direction without backflow. After that, under the force of the flattened hose's own elasticity and the side guide rollers, the hose returns to its original state. At this time, a high vacuum is generated in the hose to suck the medium into the lumen again, and then the medium is squeezed by the accompanying pressure roller. Depress to discharge from hose. So the medium is continuously sucked in and discharged.
Typical applications of industrial peristaltic hose pumps in mining are:
Pumping sludge
Pumping clay suspension
Pumpinglead sulfate
PumpingPyrite pulp
Pumping lime mud
Pumping flocculants and Reagent Feeds
Dosing of cyanide
Pumping activated carbon
Pumping sulfuric acid
Pumping thickener
Pumping copper tailings
