Toyo claims its new pumps are ideal for slurry operations

RSSSlurries with specific gravity of 1.15kg/dm³ present a serious challenge for many pumps, but 469 Toyo Pumps Europe claims that its latest new models are ideally suited to such conditions. The new GR pumps benefit from an integrated agitator along with technical specifications adapted to the density of medium slurries, which Toyo said offers an effective solution for a competitive price.

The newest GR30 and GR30B also benefit from a self cooling system and can operate partially immersed but also at depths up to 30m, in liquids with temperatures up to 60°C and pH values between 4 and 9.5. They are equipped with a built in thermal protection, a class F motor, double mechanical seals working in an oil bath and an adjustable wear plate.

New pump technology leads to increased productivity

New pump technology is increasing flow rates, reaching greater heads and improving solids handling. ABE looks at the benefits for quarries. Managing drainage is an essential task in many European quarries as operators try to maximise reserves by extending below groundwater or coping with natural springs in the formation. These units not only allow for drier working conditions but also protect expensive equipment, so performance and reliability are key assets.

Equipment for pumping out the water

One of the largest costs in the aggregate and quarrying sector is energy, and it has been estimated that pumping systems make up between 10-20% of total energy use. This means that using already efficient pumps more effectively can save in energy costs, and companies are now producing units that offer sophisticated additions.
