Hard Rock Mining

GIW® slurry pumps and KSB non-slurry pumps support every stage of copper production, from groundwater control and mine dewatering at the pit through grinding, flotation, and tailings transport in the concentrator. They are also commonly used in heap leaching operations to handle chemical solutions and pregnant leach liquor, as well as throughout refinery processes where reliable fluid handling is critical to maintaining production efficiency and maximizing equipment life.

Gold processing facilities utilize GIW® slurry pumps and KSB non-slurry pumps throughout the mining and beneficiation process, including mine dewatering, cyclone feed, flotation circuits, process water management, and tailings transport. Within carbon-in-leach (CIL) operations, KSB's pumps reliably handle reactor feed, tails streams, barren solutions, pregnant solutions, and bleed circuits, providing dependable performance in critical gold recovery applications.

Iron ore operations depend on reliable slurry transport across some of the most demanding applications in mineral processing. GIW® slurry pumps and KSB non-slurry pumps are used throughout the mine and concentrator, handling cyclone feed, mill discharge, flotation circuits, tailings, thickener underflow, screening operations, and final product transfer. In agglomeration and pelletizing circuits, they support concentrate dewatering, thickener services, and fine screening applications, helping operators maximize throughput while minimizing unplanned downtime.

GIW® slurry pumps and KSB non-slurry pumps provide comprehensive coverage throughout zinc and nickel operations, supporting everything from groundwater control and mine dewatering to cyclone feed, flotation, grinding, screening, concentrate transfer, and tailings management. Additional applications include concentrate dewatering and thickener overflow and underflow services, where durable pump construction and advanced wear materials help improve equipment reliability and reduce maintenance requirements.
