The Weir Group has been awarded contracts to supply its Warman slurry pumps and Cavexhydrocyclones to Teck’s Highland Valley Copper (HVC) Mine Life Extension (MLE) project in Canada.
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.
