Pumping Solutions for Mining and Metals Processing

Our Experience Dedicated to Your Success

More than a pump suppliersulzer supplies a complete mining pumping package, from

clear liquid to light slurry process to submersible and dewa-

tering pumps including full services and support.

By working together with Sulzer, customers benefit from:

• Increased time between failures with extended run times

on equipment

• Lower energy consumption due to high efficiencies and

optimum selections

• Reduced capital costs and increased profitability with

current products, optimizing interchangeability between

common parts

• Reduced downtime costs due to improved pump reliability

• Cutting edge technologies from a pump supplier with a

strong engineering heritage and a comprehensive local

support network

Go beyond the limitsA shortage of skilled workers coupled with stricter environ-

mental regulations have prompted a change in the market

dynamics; the trend is now towards remote mining opera-

tions where more reliable pumps and pumping equipment,

that are less labor intensive, are required.

In such a complex market, only a few manufacturers man-

age to understand the challenges faced in mining pumping

applications. Sulzer pushes technologies to their limits and

beyond in order to develop state-of-the-art pumps, capable

of meeting even the most demanding needs of mining cus-

tomers.

Designed to withstand highly abrasive environmentsReliability is crucial in mining. Due to erosion, corrosion and

lack of regular maintenance, pump efficiency and reliability

are continuously challenged. Sulzer is well aware of the harsh

conditions and develops equipment engineered to a high

standard. Its experience and product knowhow are dedicat-

ed to providing sustainable and reliable solutions, selecting

the most appropriate product and material, to sustain the

changing environment in mining.

The global mining and metals processing industry has been undergoing significant changes over the past years and now finds

itself in a new era.
