DOVE™ Slurry/Gravel Pumps are designed to deliver the highest value in
termsof quality and efficiency as well as lowest total ownership cost to our
clients. DOVE™ Slurry/Gravel Pumps
are produced in two configurations
of in-line (horizontal) Slurry/Gravel Pumps and submersible (vertical)Slurry/
Gravel Pumps.
Economics of Slurry/Gravel Pumps
Most often
these types of pumps are the most appropriate for all types of
hydraulic sluicing mining operations. The intended
purpose of using a gravel
pump is to eliminate the necessity of trucking ore to the treatment plant. By
applying
slurry/gravel pumps in the mining operation instead of trucks, over-
all ore transportation costs are reduced by a considerable
amount. Rates of
production throughout are increased by a continuous flow of ore to the
treatment plant at
all times. There is no downtime loss due to trucks breaking
down or being unable to keep up with the demand
of mining ore removal.
Submersible (Vertical) Slurry/Gravel Pumps
Five models to choose
from: 100 m3/hour to 554 m3/hour configured as a
highly efficient, shaft driven, direct drive vertical (submersible)
slurry/gravel
pump which can be used as a semi-submersible pump to a depth of 1.2 -
1.6 meters (depending
upon the model). This is primarily used in hydraulic
sluicing as the most efficient means of slurry ore
transport from the hydraulic
sluicing mining area to the wash plant site. Use whenever trucking the ore is
inapplicable or not feasible.
The other use is for removing and transporting slurried ore from a temporary
tailings dam at the treatment plant site, to a permanent disposal dam site.
Highly efficient tool for breaking
and disintegration of heavy clay, configured
either after trommel or grizzly separator and prior to the concentration
of
minerals contained in heavy and sticky clay ore.
In-Line (Horizontal) Slurry/Gravel Pumps
Sturdily constructed, highly efficient, all-purpose slurry transport pumps, are
used for transportation of all types of
ore and slurry, where wheeled transport
is not feasible or inapplicable.
6 Models to choose from with
processing capacity range of 70 m3 - 500 m3/
hour.
Pump can also be used in the wash plant cycle for
many other applications
such as:
Pumping under-sized ore, ex-trommel,
into the jigs, if the plant's set-up
disallows normal gravity flow arrangement
From
primary jigs to secondary jigs, stacked on a tier basis
Pumping treated,
waste slurry ore from a temporary retention dam at the
treatment plant to the
permanent retention/tailings dam. Particularly
useful if space, and especially
height is a limiting factor at the plant site
The In-Line (horizontal) Gravel Pumps are mounted on robust enclosed
skid
frames, and include a pump canopy for protection of the pump conponents.
An optional 4-wheel trailer,
or wheel base and stand supports are available
with all models.
