The Wilden air-operated diaphragm pump is extensively used in mining and mineral processing operations. It can handle abrasive slurries, tailings, mine water, and thickener underflow with minimal wear. The pump’s ability to pass solid particles without damage makes it ideal for the harsh conditions found in mining environments.
In underground and open-pit mines, the Wilden pump is used for dewatering tunnels and pits, transferring flotation concentrates, and pumping mill scale slurry. Its ability to run dry without damage is critical in intermittent pumping scenarios where water levels fluctuate unpredictably. The pump requires no electrical power, eliminating the risk of sparks in potentially explosive mine atmospheres.
The pump is available in rugged cast iron and stainless steel constructions that withstand impact and abrasion. The simple design allows for easy field maintenance, and the low parts count means fewer spares to stock at remote mine sites. Flow rate can be adjusted instantly by regulating the compressed air supply.
