Heavy-duty centrifugal\u202fslurry\u202fpump manufacturer Schurco\u202fSlurry\u202fhas successfully supplied 20 new\u202fpumps\u202fto a\u202fcopper\u202fmine, in the Northern Cape, and has received an order for spares \u2013 valued at over R600 000 \u2013 from a\u202fcopper\u202fcompany in Zambia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\u202fproducts\u202fsupplied will be used across the two clients\u2019\u202foperations, including in\u202fcopper\u202fprocessing and tailings facilities management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have seen a favourable increase in demand in Zambia, which has led to our Zambian supplier maintaining a reasonable amount of stock for a variety of our\u202fcomponents,\u201d says Schurco\u202fSlurry\u202fPump applications and\u202fprojects\u202fmanager\u202fMarc Young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schurco Slurry manufactures high quality heavy duty horizontal and vertical slurry pumps, replacement pump parts, and provides pump services to a wide array of markets globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Supply to the Northern Cape and Zambia includes mainly its\u202fpumps, liners, impellers and other spares, all of which are suited to the corrosive environments found in\u202fcopper\u202fprocessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe offer wet-end spares manufactured from our specially formulated polyurethane compound, which forms part of our own proprietary mix and is developed with the assistance of the base-compound suppliers,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Polyurethane is a proven corrosion- and abrasion-resistant material, owing to its unusually high tear and chemical-resistance properties, which has led to an increased wear life that is about 66% longer than that of other linings in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The research on, and development and\u202fmanufacturing\u202fof these\u202fpumps\u202fand spares takes place at Schurco\u202fSlurry\u2019s\u202fmanufacturing\u202ffacilities, in the US and South\u202fAfrica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSchurco\u202fSlurry\u202fhas highly trained and skilled\u202fengineering\u202fand process staff who have a combined experience of over 150 years,\u201d says Schurco\u202fSlurry\u202fpresident and owner\u202fNicholas Schur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company\u2019s research helps to mitigate the challenges that arise because of variable minerals processing, which, in turn, is the result of a high degree of changes in the orebody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cConsequently, our\u202fslurry\u202fpumps\u202fdo not have a standard calculated formulation and vary from mine to mine and application to application,\u201d states Young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Further, the South African branch holds extensive stock at its head office, in Johannesburg, while Schurco\u202fSlurry\u2019s holding company, in the US, also holds extensive stock for global markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schur says the company also supplies to\u202fcopper\u202fmines in the Democratic Republic of Congo, South America and Eastern Europe directly and through third parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPlans are under way to expand into African territory, and Schurco has established an office in Dubai to\u202fservice\u202fthe Middle East and surrounding territories,\u201d Young concludes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
