Mining industry
In mining and mineral processing operations, typical operating conditions include high-solids tailings slurry, large-particle mineral slurry, ore washing fluids, and acidic or alkaline process water commonly found in mining applications. These media are characterized by strong abrasion, a certain level of corrosion, and issues such as metal ion deposition, scaling, and solid sedimentation. As a result, slurry pumps used in mining require high wear resistance and operational stability. This is particularly evident in tailings slurry transfer, acid mine drainage treatment, and reagent preparation sections, where conventional pump designs often suffer from rapid impeller wear, efficiency decline, and unplanned downtime.
Changyu Pump provides UHB series mining slurry pumps, manufactured with higher-grade wear- and corrosion-resistant materials to meet slurry fluid pumping requirements with solids content up to 40%. With a stable structural design, the pumps are capable of maintaining reliable and continuous slurry transfer performance even under heavy-duty, continuous operating conditions.

Mining Slurry Pump Recommendations by Operating Conditions
Tailings and High-Solids Slurry Conditions
Recommended Pump Type: Bomba resistente à corrosão UHMWPE da série UHB
Reason: The UHB series slurry pumps utilize imported UHMWPE material, which offers 7-10 times the wear resistance of metals. They maintain stable pumping output in tailings slurry conditions with solid content ≤40%. Equipped with a semi-open impeller, these pumps significantly enhance particle passage, effectively reducing efficiency degradation and unplanned downtime risks caused by wear.
Chemical Reagent and Treatment Conditions
Recommended pump type: Corrosion Resistant Horizontal Slurry Pumps
Reason: This industrial pump utilises imported FEP/PTFE material. The pump casing and flow-through components feature an optimised design for highly corrosive fluids. The seal can be configured with a K-type dynamic seal, ensuring stable operation and leak-free performance during the conveyance of corrosive fluids.
Mining Slurry Pump Applications and Solutions
In mining and mineral processing systems, slurry pumps are widely used in key operations such as mineral slurry transfer, tailings handling, mine drainage, and reagent preparation. Different process sections involve varying media characteristics and operating modes, which place different requirements on pump wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and long-term continuous operational stability.
