Focus on the details, long lasting materials duration, adaptability to difficult environments: due to these features, Pemo pumps are sold everywhere in the world and are extensively used in this market due to the wide variety of models and configurations available.
Pemo pumps for mining industry
Pumps for the mining industry application are provided by Pemo with three design typologies: horizontal, vertical and submersible. These are developed specifically for abrasive and or acid/corrosive fluid applications and are available in a wide number of materials including Rubber Lined, Hardalloy PEMO (750-800 HB), Stainless Steel and Hastelloy.

The antiabrasive pumps and antiacid pumps are the flagships of the pemo factory: the never ending optimization process undertaken by Pemo’s research department led to really positive results in terms of pressure resistance, some models can operate to a maximum pressure of 20 bar (290 psi).
Some of the applications for PEMO pumps include, slurry transfer in ponds, hydrocyclone feed and yellowcake slurry transfer.
In the Huaron Mining District, in Peru, among the various projects launched, one involved the installation of a new extraction sludge filtration plant and the replacement of the dry storage plant. The main objective of the project was to reduce the moisture of the mining residues (tailing) to improve the management of the residues themselves and the efficiency of the whole process. It was necessary to ensure a high supply pressure of over 16 bars and reliable operation in an overall challenging environment.

After a careful analysis of the needs, the supplier Diemme Filtration, a specialist in the production of filter presses and thickeners most for mining industry, identified Pemo Pumps as the most suitable solution for the treatment of zinc residues. In particular, the choice fell on three Pemo M280 double-body metal “superalloy” pumps (AO/AB/DC/AS-B20 MINE version) that reach 1000 m3/h in the filter filling phase.
The pumps can feed two Diemme Filtration GHT 2500 F filter presses with a guaranteed productivity of about 4000 tds (Total Dissolved Solids) per day, which is perfect for the mining industry of ones of the most important mining site of the world.
The use of Pemo Pumps to feed Diemme Filtration filter presses has led to excellent results. A final residual moisture of 16% was achieved, fully satisfying the customer’s operational needs. In addition, Pemo Pumps, thanks to the particular care in the design and the double mechanical seal, guarantee zero leaks in the environment and do not contaminate the extracted product in any way: a perfect choice for the mining industry.
Ultimately, thanks to the advanced technology, the care in the choice of materials of Pemo Pumps and their ability to adapt to extreme conditions, the Huaron mine can now count on a more efficient and sustainable process, reducing tailing management costs and ensuring maximum environmental sustainability.
