Bredel SPX hose pumps easily pump abrasive fluids like tailings, metal slurries and thickener underflow. Due to the high solids content of these slurries other types of pumps may fail because the product comes in contact with the rotors, stators, impellers and seals of the pump. However, in a Bredel hose pump, the hose never fails due to abrasion, so maintenance is quick and easy. In the mining industry water is money, so the less you use, the better. Many times, due to inferior centrifugal slurry pump designs, mines are forced to provide seal flush water and dilute thickened slurries in order for their pumps to function properly. This is costly because the water will then need to be removed or treated later in the process. Watson-Marlow sealless hose pumps do not require flush water and have the ability to pump thickened slurries up to concentrations of 80% solids.
