BEST PUMPS FOR THE MINING INDUSTRY
Types of Mining Pumps
The mining industry calls for a wide variety of pumps, each tailored to meet specific requirements:
Centrifugal Slurry Pumps
- Frequently utilised in mining, these pumps are adept at transporting a liquid that contains solids. They are robustly designed, with easily replaceable parts that often come into contact with the slurry, typically crafted from wear-resistant alloys or elastomers.
Submersible Pump
- These pumps function while fully submerged underwater, making them ideal for mine dewatering tasks.
Borehole Pumps
- These are used to draw water from boreholes.
Diaphragm Pumps
- The pumping action in these pumps is created by a diaphragm.
Self-Priming Pumps
- Unique among pumps, these can expel air and maintain operation without the need for manual priming.
Rotary Pumps
- These pumps employ a rotating mechanism to facilitate fluid movement.
At Hunter Pumps, we understand that each pump type comes with unique benefits and selection depends largely on the specific needs of the mining operation. We offer the widest range of mining pumps, including highly abrasive slurry pumps, lobe pumps, and more. Our pumps are known for their efficiency and can serve a broad spectrum of industries, ensuring that the pumped materials are handled effectively.

Common Pump Challenges in the Mining Industry and Solutions by Hunter Pumps
In the mining industry, pump operations often face significant challenges, such as managing suspended solids, dealing with corrosion, and avoiding impact damage. Hunter Pumps provides tailored solutions to address these challenges effectively.
Suspended Solids
One of the most prevalent causes of mine dewatering pump failure is clogging from gritty, suspended solids and slurry. Hunter Pumps combats this issue by offering submersible pumps designed to handle high concentrations of such solids, reducing the risk of clogging and ensuring uninterrupted operations.
Corrosion
Corrosive fluids, such as superheated water laden with pyrite, iron, or sand, can damage pumps over time. To tackle this, Hunter Pumps uses durable materials like stainless steel in their pump construction, which can resist corrosion and extend the pump's lifespan.
Impact
Mining operations can inadvertently cause impact damage to pumps. Hunter Pumps addresses this challenge through proper placement strategies, keeping pumps away from heavy equipment and high-traffic areas within the mine.
Proper Sump Design
A well-designed sump can collect and separate heavy solids, protecting the pump from clogging and abrasion. Hunter Pumps aids in designing effective sump systems, contributing to smoother pump operations.
Use of Durable Materials
Hunter Pumps uses robust materials in their pump construction to withstand the harsh conditions of mining operations. This ensures the durability and longevity of their pumps.
Proper Placement
Hunter Pumps advocates for the strategic placement of pumps within mining sites to prevent accidental damage from heavy machinery or other operational activities.
