Industry Application
Pumps For Mining Dewatering And Marine Service
Mining and marine duty share one problem: the pump has to keep running when the liquid is abrasive, the supply is unreliable and the nearest service engineer is a long way away.
What Goes Wrong On This Duty
Abrasives destroy the pump in weeks
Slurry wears impellers fast. Progressing cavity and rubber lobe pumps put the wear into parts that are designed to be replaced.
Service access is limited
In place maintenance matters far more than a marginal efficiency gain when the pump is on a site or a vessel.
The duty changes with the season
Dewatering flows vary. A reversible positive displacement pump copes better than a pump sized for one point on a curve.
What Buyers Ask For
- Pumps that pass solids without blocking
- Wear parts stocked and changed by the site team
- Materials suited to seawater, slurry and oil
- Drives available as electric motor or diesel engine
- Documentation and spares that survive a change of site staff

Where The Equipment Sits
Slurry And Tailings Transfer
Moving abrasive, solid laden liquid at a steady rate rather than a peak one.
Dewatering
Pumping out sumps and pits where the liquid carries grit, fibre and debris.
Oil And Fuel Handling
Transfer, booster and fuel supply duty with electric or diesel driven gear pumps.
How We Work
Specifying For Remote Sites
Liquid And Solids
Particle size, concentration and abrasiveness decide the pump family and the wear parts.
Power Available
Site voltage and frequency, or diesel drive where mains power is not reliable.
Spares Strategy
What has to be held on site so a failure does not stop production for a month.
Packing And Shipping
Export packing and documentation through the Hong Kong office, to the port you nominate.
Delivery
What You Get With The Order
- Cast iron, stainless steel or bronze construction as the duty requires
- Electric motor or diesel drive on the gear pump line
- Self priming to 8.5 m on lobe and progressing cavity pumps
- Wear parts replaceable in place by the site team
- FOB or CIF quotation to the nominated port
Answers
Mining And Marine FAQ
Which pump handles abrasive slurry?
Progressing cavity and rubber lobe pumps. Both put wear into replaceable parts rather than into the pump body.
Can the pump be diesel driven?
The gear pump line lists electric motor and diesel drive. For other lines, tell us the drive arrangement and we will confirm.
Do you supply for seawater service?
Material depends on the water and the duty. Send the analysis and the temperature and we will advise on bronze, stainless or an alternative.
How do we get spares to a remote site?
Order against the model number and we ship through the Hong Kong export office. Holding a wear part set on site is usually cheaper than an urgent shipment.
What packing do you use for export?
Export packing and documentation are arranged with the order, quoted FOB or CIF to the port you nominate.
