Few industries are as tough on pumps as mining. Challenges are manifold and complex: aggressive slurries and ever-changing conditions and materials cause mining pumps to wear out quickly. Unexpected outages can halt the entire production process, resulting in incredibly high costs. Therefore, mining applications require extremely reliable, specialised heavy-duty slurry pumps that will reduce downtime, lower the total cost of ownership and increase efficiency.

KSB delivers GIW® slurry pumps that can tackle even the most extreme conditions.

In this interview, filmed at MINExpo 2021, in Las Vegas, in September, Jonathan Samuel, GIW Industries President & CEO, and Vice President of Global Hard Rock Mining for KSB Mining, discusses how wear-resistant and durable GIW® slurry pumps, combined with wide-ranging application know-how, ensure mining company’s systems work more efficiently.
