When you need slurry moved from one destination to another, nothing delivers like KSB's line of GIW® slurry pumps and hydraulic systems. GIW® slurry pump systems provide non-stop transport slurry tonnage more effectively than any other pump system running today. Connecting real world application, innovative design and precision manufacturing, every GIW® slurry pump system is built to last and to keep you running ahead of schedule.
A Reliable Oil Sands Partner
KSB has worked with Canadian mining companies to remove and process oil sands bitumen for over 30 years. The GIW® TBC pump is the most operated severe duty slurry pump in the Canadian Oil Sands history.
KSB is well-known for their line of reliable and long-lasting GIW® slurry pumps such as the TBC. However, KSB is more than just a pump manufacturer; we are a solution provider and lend total customer support.
Fort McMurray SupremeServ Service Centre has expanded in order to meet the future needs of the Oil Sands market. We now provide a larger and more efficient area for inventory and repair, maintenance inspection, system efficiency services, technical consultancy, training, and retrofit services. Our repair and rebuild capabilities also include service technicians who assemble to OEM specifications and standards.
KSB strives to be an innovative partner that provides you with the best and longest wearing slurry solutions and service. We are your partner, today and in the future.
GIW® slurry pump products are employed in the following applications:
Phosphate
As a partner to the phosphate industry for over 120 years, we bring a wealth of experience no other company can rival. KSB has developed pit pumps, particularly the GIW® LSA62 pump, specifically for the phosphate mining market.
GIW® slurry pump products are employed in the following applications:
Sand & Gravel
GIW® slurry pump products are employed in the following applications:
Alumina
The high chrome alloys used in the GIW® slurry pump line provides excellent abrasion resistance and long life cycles in severe duties and provide Alumina plants with reliable performance and lower maintenance costs than other brands of pumps.
GIW® slurry pumps can handle the hot, abrasive slurries as they are moved from the milling and slurry mix areas to the digesters. The pumps can also help move the slurries through the processes of mud separation and filtering, precipitation and calcinations to create the finished dry alumina product.
GIW® slurry pump products are employed in the following applications:
Diamonds
KSB provides equipment and support for the Diamond Mining Industry. Contact your local region manager for more information.
