Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mining pump used for?
Firstly, mining pumps come in many varieties and their variations alter regarding what they are used for. Commonly, most mining pumps are used for mine dewatering. Dewatering pumps remove water, slurry, or sludge from one area to another. Other types of mining pump can be used for services such as, reagent dosing, slurry and wastewater transfer, mineral processing, and water supply.
As mining pump suppliers and manufacturers, we produce and supply our own range of high-quality Force pumps designed specifically for Australian conditions. Hand-built in Australia, our Force pumps are completely compatible with the Flygt® BIBO range of pumps and come with performance reports from our in-house test facility, which show up to 50% cost savings compared with some of our mining pump supplier competitors.
What factors should I consider when choosing a mining pump?
When deciding on the right pump for the mining industry and your operation, it is important to take into consideration the following factors:
- Availability of electricity
- Waste/sludge removal
- Location flexibility
- Discharge head
- Pump size
- Flow rate
Every situation will be different, and it is essential to take the time to consider each factor to ensure the pump can support your needs efficiently and without fault.
For use within the mining industry, a pump will need to be able to cope with dewatering areas which can involve, high pressures, corrosion, and abrasion.
Because of these harsh conditions, mining pumps will need to have superior coatings and be constructed of specialised heavy-duty materials that can handle the environment.
What are the different types of mining pump and what are they used for?
There are a wide variety of mining pumps, each designed to perform a different function. Common types of mining pump include:
- Submersible pumps
- Centrifugal pumps
- Diaphragm pumps
- Drainage pumps
- Sludge pumps
- Slurry pumps
Submersible pumps, sometimes called a mining bore pump, are commonly used for dewatering applications, as their name suggests, they can be submerged in water. This ensures they are always primed, and the engine is cooled by the water.
Centrifugal pumps are incredibly popular as they are affordable and robust. These pumps can be effectively used for pumping any fluid if the fluid is of low viscosity.
Diaphragm pumps are operated using air. Because of this, they can be operated in areas where power is not available.
Drainage pumps are used to drain areas of liquid that may have solids within them.
Sludge pumps can be used for any non-abrasive silt and sludge.
Slurry pumps are most suited to removing water that has abrasive materials in it, for example, sand, rocks, or concrete.

Do mining pumps require maintenance and servicing?
For mining pumps to have longevity and continue to function effectively, mining pump suppliers recommend regular maintenance be performed. Because the mining industry is particularly harsh and demanding, equipment within it must be well maintained. This will extend a pumps life and reduce unforeseen downtime due to damaged pump systems.
Leaving a pump’s performance to disintegrate until the point in which it loses function entirely is a common occurrence in the mining industry because consistent use is necessary. However, this neglect leads to greater costs in the long run because of the increased downtime and need for pump repairs.
The best way to ensure your pump system is functioning properly and avoid costly pump repairs is to perform regular checks and services. When you notice an issue during these scheduled services you can manage the problem before it causes greater disruption to the function of the mine site.
