There is a shortage of expertise in the specialised domain of junior\u202fmining\u202f\u2013 a situation that is compounded by South\u202fAfrica\u2019s so-called brain drain, as skilled professionals seek jobs elsewhere, says pump and parts manufacturer Schurco\u202fSlurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consequently, junior miners have limited access to advanced technical knowledge because of the high demand and cost of expertise, says Schurco\u202fSlurry\u202fprocessing and technical specialist\u202fDonovan Higginson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To counteract this limited access, the company is using its extensive global\u202fresources\u202fto commit to the ongoing research and development of new and innovative\u202fslurry\u202fpump\u202fsolutions\u202facross all aspects of\u202fmineral processing\u202fand handling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Higginson emphasises that research is essential in the ongoing development and improvement of\u202fslurry\u202fpumps, noting that it will enable the enhancement of\u202fefficiency\u202fwhile reducing costs and improving durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will also allow the company to meet the evolving needs of end-users and the regulatory requirements of various industries, he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, the company is willing to collaborate with junior miners on specific\u202fprojects\u202fand geological challenges presented by\u202foperations\u202fthat are situated in remote locations across\u202fAfrica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many challenges in the minerals processing sector, including the increasing demand for bulk, high-grade mineral\u202fproducts\u202fin a volatile market that is influenced by factors such as politics, and resource and reserve quantities and grades, Higginson elaborates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, Schurco\u202fSlurry\u2019s range of\u202fpumps\u202fand accessories have been strategically developed to cater to modern minerals processing demands and constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company\u2019s\u202fslurry\u202fpumps, vertical spindles and\u202fdewatering\u202fpumps\u202fare available in numerous sizes and materials to ensure that end-users receive fit-for-purpose pump units across multiple applications, while providing a \u201cgood-quality, efficient and reliable product\u201d to ensure end-user targets are met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSchurco\u202fSlurry\u202fhas an extremely extensive stockholding of spare parts at our facilities globally to ensure that clients are provided with the necessary support and supply 24\/7, when and where needed,\u201d he states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, Schurco\u202fSlurry\u2019s experienced\u202fmaintenance\u202fand field\u202fservice\u202fteams play a pivotal role in supporting clients and ensuring that production is operating as required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To establish a support mechanism for junior miners, Schurco\u202fSlurry\u202fensures that there is technical support available in remote and challenging areas by visiting these locations or\u202ftraining\u202flocal individuals to gather essential information about the challenges that each specific client faces, and it consequently develops customised\u202fsolutions, Higginson concludes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
