volume of aggressive chemicals – a big cost benefit for the customer.
Custom progressing cavity pump specified With a successful trial, final specifications for the production pumps were addressed. For this slurry pumping application, a Nemo pump was specified. Today, the mining operation is running
three slurry lines with Nemo progressing cavity pumps and the customer is seeing bottom-line operational and life cycle cost benefits. Te mining operation has dramatically lowered the maintenance and replacement costs. Even with the abrasive nature of the slurry,
the rotor and stator in the pump are lasting three months before requiring replacement. And, with plant uptime improved, more gold and silver ore can be processed, leading to an improvement in overall operational profitability.
The merits of progressing cavity pumps
Te pumping characteristics of the Nemo progressing cavity pump make it the ideal choice for many applications in the mining industry. Te pumps are traditionally installed for products or applications where:
l Te pumped product contains very high levels of solid particles
l Te product is abrasive l High density products need to conveyed l Corrosive products are to be transferred l High pressure or long distances need to be overcome
l Accurate dosing is required l Low shear pumping of high viscosity products is necessary
l Te application has low suction pressure
As older equipment reaches the end of its life, and as inferior equipment fails, Netzsch is observing a growing demand for the Nemo pumps in the global mining sector. l

A good investment shows in the long run. That’s what our pumps are all about.
A good investment is not determined by the price, but by the cost of ownership. That’s why we make pumps designed for the things that really matter: Long operating time, less need for supervision and low costs for maintenance and spare parts. Grindex products meet the highest demands in performance, quality and cost-efficiency.
Because quality pays in the long run.
