Typical Technical Configuration

Specifications and available options may vary. Contact TSB for full details and configuration support.

Horizontal Slurry Pumps

Horizontal slurry pumps provide a robust and maintainable solution for demanding slurry transfer duties. They are widely used across mineral-processing circuits, including grinding, classification and tailings systems.

The horizontal configuration provides:

• Accessible wet-end components
• Flexible drive arrangements
• Heavy-duty bearing assemblies
• Replaceable liners and wear parts
• Multiple sealing configurations
• Wide hydraulic selection
• Straightforward maintenance access
• Suitability for continuous-duty operation

Different hydraulic and material configurations can be selected according to particle size, solids concentration, abrasiveness, corrosiveness and operating conditions.

General Slurry Applications

General-purpose heavy-duty slurry pumps are suitable for transferring abrasive mixtures across mining, quarrying and industrial applications.

Typical duties include:

• Mineral slurry transfer
• Ore processing
• Sand and aggregate slurry
• Coal slurry
• Process slurry
• Thickener transfer
• Concentrate transfer
• Sludge and solids-containing liquids
• Plant recirculation
• General abrasive process duties

Material and hydraulic selection should consider particle size, solids concentration, slurry density, abrasiveness, pH and required operating point.

Mill Discharge

Mill discharge is one of the most demanding slurry pump applications because pumps can encounter highly abrasive slurry directly from grinding circuits.

Heavy-duty mill discharge pumps are designed with robust wet-end components and wear-resistant materials to withstand the severe abrasion associated with ball and SAG mill circuits.

Typical design considerations include:

• High abrasion resistance
• Large solids passage
• Heavy-duty casing construction
• Replaceable liners
• Thick wear sections
• High-capacity bearing arrangements
• Robust impeller design
• Easy access to high-wear components

For mining operators, optimized mill discharge pump selection can significantly influence grinding-circuit availability and maintenance intervals.

Cyclone Feed

Cyclone feed pumps supply slurry to hydrocyclones at the pressure and flow required for effective classification.

Because hydrocyclone performance depends on the pressure and stability of the slurry feed, pump performance is a critical part of the grinding and classification circuit.

Cyclone feed applications typically require:

• Stable flow and discharge pressure
• High abrasion resistance
• Reliable operation across changing slurry conditions
• Suitable NPSH performance
• Heavy-duty wet-end components
• Efficient operation at the required duty point
• High-capacity configurations for large grinding circuits

Correct pump sizing should consider the complete relationship between the pump, piping and hydrocyclone system.

Tailings

Tailings pumps are used to transfer processed slurry from concentrators and mineral-processing plants toward thickeners, storage facilities, disposal systems or further treatment.

Heavy-duty slurry pumps are commonly applied in tailings processing and hydrotransport systems.

Typical applications include:

• Tailings transfer
• Thickened tailings
• Tailings disposal
• Concentrator discharge
• Paste and high-density slurry transfer
• Thickener underflow
• Process water and slurry return
• Long-distance tailings pipelines

Pump selection should consider solids concentration, pipeline length, elevation profile, settling velocity, abrasion and required discharge pressure.

High-Pressure Slurry Transport

High-pressure slurry pumps are designed for applications where abrasive slurry must be transported across long pipelines, significant elevations or high-resistance process systems.

These applications may require multiple pumps operating in series or purpose-designed high-pressure slurry pump configurations to achieve the required pipeline pressure.

Typical high-pressure duties include:

• Long-distance slurry pipelines
• Mine-to-plant slurry transport
• Tailings disposal pipelines
• Concentrate pipelines
• High-elevation transfer
• Hydrotransport
• High-density slurry transport
• Pipeline booster stations

System design should consider the complete hydraulic profile, including slurry rheology, particle settling, pipeline velocity, friction losses, elevation and wear characteristics.

Wear Materials & Liners

Material selection is critical in slurry pumping because abrasive solids continuously interact with the pump wet-end components.

Available configurations can include:

• High-chrome wear-resistant alloys
• Natural rubber liners
• Synthetic elastomers
• Polyurethane
• Corrosion-resistant alloys
• Specialized wear-resistant materials
• Replaceable casing liners
• Replaceable throatbushes and wear plates

Heavy-duty slurry pumps commonly use robust metal or rubber wear components in high-wear areas to extend service life and reduce maintenance requirements.

The appropriate material depends on particle size, particle shape, slurry velocity, chemical composition, temperature and corrosion conditions.

Shaft Sealing Options

Different shaft-sealing arrangements can be selected according to the application and available sealing water.

Options can include:

• Gland packing
• Centrifugal or expeller seals
• Mechanical seals
• Application-specific slurry sealing systems

The appropriate arrangement should consider slurry properties, suction conditions, operating pressure, available flush water and maintenance requirements.

Applications

• Mining
• Mineral processing
• Ball and SAG mill circuits
• Cyclone feed
• Mill discharge
• Tailings
• Thickener underflow
• Concentrate transfer
• Ore processing
• Sand and aggregates
• Quarrying
• Coal processing
• Hydrotransport
• Slurry pipelines
• High-pressure slurry transport
• Industrial abrasive slurry
• Dredging and solids handling

Why Choose Heavy-Duty Slurry Pumps?

Heavy-Duty Slurry Pumps are designed specifically for applications where abrasion, solids concentration and severe operating conditions make conventional process pumps unsuitable.

Their heavy-duty hydraulic construction, replaceable wear components and specialized materials allow the pump to withstand continuous contact with abrasive solids while maintaining reliable slurry transport.

Different configurations can be selected for general slurry transfer, extreme mill discharge service, controlled cyclone feed, tailings disposal or high-pressure pipeline transport.

For mining and industrial operators, this provides improved wear life, reliable solids handling, maintainable construction and hydraulic flexibility across demanding slurry applications.
