Mining
Diaphragm pumps are used in the following areas in mining:
- Ore slurry transfer
- Wastewater and tailings water discharge
- Dosing of chemical reagents (acid, base, flocculant)
- Filter press feeding systems
- Dewatering applications
- Underground water drainage systems
They are particularly effective in handling fluids containing high solid particle content and abrasive characteristics.
Advantages
Reasons why diaphragm pumps are preferred in the mining industry:
Resistance to abrasive fluids
They adapt well to aggressive environments thanks to rubber, PTFE, or special elastomer diaphragm options.
Ability to run dry
They can operate without liquid for a certain period; this feature provides a significant advantage, especially in field conditions.
Clog-resistant design
They can easily pump slurries containing solid particles.
Suitable for explosive environments
Air-operated models do not generate electrical sparks.
Easy maintenance and modular design
Parts can be replaced quickly, and maintenance costs are low.
