Progressing Cavity Pumps for Mining & Quarries
Mining and quarrying push pumps to their limits - abrasive slurries, high solids content, high flow and high pressure. Sydex progressing cavity pumps are engineered to keep this difficult material moving reliably.
The K range transfers abrasive, solids-laden liquids at flow rates up to 300 m3/h and pressures up to 48 bar, with vacuum-hardened rotors and a wide choice of wear-resistant materials for exceptional service life. For dewatered, high-density material and sludge cakes, the hopper-fed G range maintains volumetric efficiency without a bridge-breaker, reducing power consumption and maintenance. In-house stator and rotor manufacturing, plus the unique Sydex 4-pin cartridge system, keeps reliability high in punishing conditions.
The challenge
Mining and quarrying push pumps to their limits: abrasive slurries, high solids content, and high flow at high pressure, all of which drive rapid wear and downtime in conventional equipment.
Sydex builds for those conditions and specifies to the duty. The K range transfers abrasive, solids-laden liquids at high flow and pressure with vacuum-hardened rotors and a wide choice of wear-resistant materials, while the hopper-fed G range maintains volumetric efficiency on dewatered, high-density material and sludge cake without a bridge-breaker. In-house manufacturing and the unique Sydex 4-pin cartridge system keep reliability high where it is hardest to achieve.
