Bredel hose pumps, part of Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions, has engineered the new Bredel Heavy Duty pump with advanced safety and reliability features specifically for the mining and construction sectors.

For mining companies that prioritise protecting its employees and the local environment, while ensuring reliable operations in the toughest conditions, Bredel has designed the Heavy Duty pump for an enhanced level of safety and durability. 

The Heavy Duty pump is a perfect peristaltic pump solution for handling abrasive high-solid content slurries, thick sludge and corrosive fluids due to its enhanced features:  

  • Heavy duty frame that enables safer pump transportation using a forklift truck  
  • Heavy duty bearings that provide an extended lifetime when pumping high-solid content slurries 
  • Window guard that offers extra protection 
  • Robust flange bracket that reduces the risk of lubricant leakage and simplifies maintenance 
  • C4H paint coating that brings superior resistance in highly corrosive environments and protects against acids, bases 

The Heavy Duty pump can be used for: slurry transfer with minimal wear and tear; precise chemical dosing to enhance operational efficiency; dewatering to avoid the risk of flooding and environmental damage, and for safely transporting tailings to ensure compliance with regulations.

Grace Madden, Bredel Product Manager, said: “The Bredel Heavy Duty pump offers exceptional safety and durability for mining and construction companies, significantly reducing downtime and increasing efficiency. Its advanced features ensure reliable performance in harsh environments, preventing costly downtime.

“By handling the unique challenges mining companies face around the world, the Heavy Duty pump enhances productivity, making it a safer, more efficient, and sustainable solution for the toughest conditions.”

Bredel hose pumps has recently switched its painting process during manufacturing from solvent-based paints to waterborne paints, resulting in a 90% reduction in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions.
