Verderflex Peristaltic Hose Pumps
|
All Pumps Supplies provide the Verderflex peristaltic hose pumps, which have many applications in the mining processes.
Here are some of the applications of Verderflex peristaltic hose pumps in the mining operations:
- The content of the minerals present in the mineral ores vary continuously and the recovery systems accommodate these variations. The Verderflex pumps perform crucial function of varying the dosing rates consistently to optimize the usage of chemicals and maintaining the output from the plant. The peristaltic hose pumps are ideal complement to the plant SCADA systems since they have linear flow-speed characteristics and excellent repeatability.
- Verderflex peristaltic hose pumps are used for the pumping of process reagents like cyanides and acids, which are highly corrosive in nature. The hose present in the peristaltic pumps is highly resistive to these chemicals and it is the only part of the pump that comes in contact with the dangerous chemicals and no other parts of the pump are exposed to them.
- Chemicals like lime, which are used for controlling the pH of the solutions, are highly abrasive in nature and they can cause continuous clogging of the traditional pumps like the diaphragm pumps resulting in extensive downtime and maintenance problems. Verderflex peristaltic pumps supplied by All Pumps Supplies have exceptional records dosing lime into process and waste and many of these pumps are used for bulk dosing to remediate post-mining waste and effluents.
- In many cases the reagents mixed at the mine or processing plant form imperfect dissolved solutions forming solids in the liquid streams, which can be harmful to the ordinary pumps, but not to the Verderflex peristaltic hose pumps.
- Verderflex peristaltic hose pumps have seal-free design that eliminates the possibility of leakage of harmful chemicals being pumped to the workplace, which also prevents the environmental contamination.
- For some highly aggressive solutions like Copper Sulphate, the pumps can be Nickel plated to maximise pump’s corrosion resistance and increase its operational life.
- The studies on Verderflex peristaltic hose pumps reveal that they have gentle pumping action resulting in lower shear rate of the chemical particles compared to the other traditional pumps thus maintaining the flocculent size. This helps keeping flocculation efficient requiring using lesser chemicals.
All Pumps Supplies stocks and distributes a range of mining pumps throughout Australia and New Zealand.
