AODD Pumps for the Mining Industry

A High-Risk Industry Needs Innovative, Efficient Partners

Mining remains an inherently risky industry even with the utilization of technology to enable the mining operation to safely and cost-effectively bring metals and minerals from mine to market. To make mining safer and more efficient, each step of the process must be well planned, from worker attire (PPE) to the equipment used in the mining operations. One of the most time-tested, trusted and relied-on pieces of equipment in a mine is a pump.

PORTABLE AND RUGGED PUMPS FOR THE MINING MARKET

The air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump is a critical tool in a mining operation. SANDPIPER has given particular attention to its pump design to increase survivability, even beyond intended handling when tossed, dragged, and crammed into position to rapidly remove fluids or dewater areas. SANDPIPER AODD pumps offer the following:

Safety and Portability: User-friendly ATEX design offers lightweight construction, built-in handles, and is configured to be wall-mounted in compliance with safety regulations.

All Bolted Construction: Provides instant part alignment, uniform torqueing of seals, and high-pressure capabilities to eliminate leaks

Extreme Durability: Exclusively designed pumps that incorporate thick wall construction, diaphragm wear pads, heavy-duty flaps, and heavy weighted check balls

Base Mounting Options: Skid mount and strainer bases are available.

Performance: High-flow and solid-size options are available.

Efficiency: Best-in-class energy-efficiency, easily installed with lower operating costs, and less maintenance

COMMON MINING APPLICATIONS FOR SANDPIPER AODD PUMPS

Dewatering and Sump: Water evacuation at mine face; remove underground water from mine shaft and move to central pond; remove drift water at active mine sites
Filter Press: High-pressure filter press operations to remove particulates from mine water before transferring from pit; allow reusability of filtered water
Mining Methods: Underground, open surface (pit), placer, and in-situ processes used for coal, soft/hard rock, precious metals (like nickel, copper, gold, silver), phosphate, and diamond
Loading/Unloading Transfer: Various fluids including oil, fuel, hydraulic, concrete, de-frothing agent, and sodium bicarbonate and other caustic chemicals or solid-laden fluids
General Transfer: Suction lift removal of viscous fluids containing muck, slimes, slurries, and sludges
