A cornerstone of this project is the Warman MCR 760 pump, which will be the largest mill circuit pump in North America. The Warman MCR 760 pump was developed to meet the demand for mill circuit pumps that can handle unprecedentedly high flow rates, minimising the number of operating lines in a plant, and addressing the global trend of declining ore grades that require increased throughput for economical mineral recovery. The pump is designed to maximise wear life in arduous mill duties and facilitate easy and safe maintenance, regardless of an operator’s maintenance schedule or approach.
Weir has existing and planned installations of equivalent-sized pumps in South America and Australia.
In addition, Weir will supply Cavex 800CVX and 650CVX hydrocyclones for the MLE project.
The MLE project will be fully supported by the local Weir service center in Kamloops, British Columbia.
"Weir has a proven track record of supplying and supporting the largest, highest capacity mill pumps on the market,” said Quinton Sutherland, Weir, Divisional Senior Product Manager, Pumps.
“With declining ore grades and increased demand, miners are increasingly looking for solutions to increase their throughput and our pumps play a pivotal role in ensuring they continue to meet their production targets.”
