Mining
Pulsafeeder, Inc., a leading manufacturer of metering pumps for over 80 years offers a breadth of products used for the chemical injection or metering processes in the mining industry for the extraction of metals, minerals, stones, and fuels.
Chemicals are expensive and wastage has a direct impact on profitability and spillage could have a negative impact on the environment. Pulsafeeder pumps are known for accuracy, reliability, dependability, and products available when you need them to help users save energy and chemical while keeping operators and the environment safe.
Accuracy and reliability of your pump technology are important in keeping costs down and keeping your process running efficiently and continuously when pumping chemicals such as sodium sulphate, xanthate, methyl-isoamyl alcohol, and dithiophosphate.
Pulsafeeder pumps were designed to limit downtime and ease of maintenance even when handling varying viscosity fluids such as polymers, flocculants, reagents, abrasive lime slurries, or corrosive chemicals.
Pulsafeeder’s pumping technologies whether centrifugal, diaphragm, peristaltic or rotary gear metering pumps there is a chemical metering pump to fit your process.
Diaphragm Pumps
Hydraulic, Mechanical, and Solenoid Diaphragm metering pumps feed a precise volume of chemical at a continuous rate. These pumps offer adjustable flow rates, which can either be changed by adjusting the stroke length or by the pulses. Easy operation and degassing make diaphragm pumps an operator’s choice.
Centrifugal Pumps
Single-stage and multi-stage centrifugal pumps are designed for a wide variety of process industry applications and laboratory uses. They are designed for long and reliable service.
Pulsafeeder centrifugal pumps are close coupled for greater strength. Their design eliminates the need for special base-plate mountings or complicated drives. Pump chambers, rear housings, covers and impellers are all precision castings to ensure that pump walls are smooth, which improves hydraulic efficiency. Generous clearance and the overhung shaft design enable these pumps to handle corrosive liquids containing low percentages of solids. Mechanical rotary seals make these pumps suitable for extensive applications with acids, alkalis, and solvents.
Peristaltic Pumps
Peristaltic pumps are Inherently degassing. Pulsafeeder’s peristaltic pumps are constructed with simple yet robust components designed to create continuous, repetitive, positive flow. Modern materials are used to meet the needs of the toughest jobs from aggressive chemicals to highly abrasive slurries.
Rotary Gear Pumps
Rotary Gear Pumps are suitable for both transfer and metering applications in water treatment and chemical processing, Eclipse sealless gear pumps can handle a wide range of volume flows, connection sizes, fluid viscosities, and temperatures.
Common use of chemical injection pumps in mining
- Neutralizing – Pumping caustic soda (sodium hydroxide)
- pH control – Additives for pH control of the ore
- Solvent Extraction – Metering leaching chemicals
- Metering depressing agents
- Leaching – Dissolving precious metals into chemicals
- Spraying – Dust control
- Flotation control
- Wastewater treatment – Treating the wastewater with Hydrogen peroxide before reuse in the process or returning water to the environment or even drinking water, Pulsafeeder offers NSF61, compatible pump models.
