Pump reliability

Wet-end life is tracked as an engineering variable, not a spare-parts guess.

We record impeller clearance, gland water pressure, solids SG and vibration baseline before recommending chrome iron, rubber or ceramic-lined wet ends. That gives plant teams a defensible change-out interval instead of waiting for capacity loss to expose the problem.

Hydrocyclone cluster pressure gauge inspection
Classification control

Hydrocyclone tuning links cut point, pump pressure and circulating load.

Our application engineers review feed pressure, apex size, vortex finder wear and overflow density together. The result is a cyclone cluster that protects recovery while preventing the pump from operating outside its efficiency window.

Crusher liner measurement during shutdown
Crushing-circuit evidence

Liner profiles are logged before throughput drops into expensive downtime.

For jaw and cone circuits, WeirFlow Mining maps wear pattern, closed-side setting behavior and tramp-event history so replacement parts arrive before the shutdown starts and technicians know the hold points.

FAQ by Mineral-processing Workflow

Slurry Transport

How do you choose rubber versus high-chrome wet ends?

We compare particle sharpness, size distribution, pH, temperature and duty speed. Rubber often protects fine abrasive slurry, while high-chrome iron suits larger sharp particles and impact-heavy duties.

Can WeirFlow review an existing pump that keeps losing capacity?

Yes. We request head curve, solids SG, pipe layout, motor load trend and recent impeller clearance records, then return a duty note and inspection checklist.

Classification

What data is needed for hydrocyclone sizing?

Feed flow, solids percent, ore SG, target overflow size, allowable pressure and available footprint are the minimum inputs. Existing manifold drawings help us avoid layout surprises.

Crushing & Screening

Do you supply crusher wear parts without a full machine rebuild?

Yes. We can quote jaw plates, cone liners, feed-cone protection and screen media as parts packages with measurement sheets and change-out notes.
