Mining Pumps

The equipment used in the mining industry is required to be extremely durable due to the hostile conditions and remote environments it operates in. Prestige Universal Mining Pumps is proud to supply only the very best and most durable mining pumps for rent or purchase.

Pumps for mining use are specific in their purpose and often no two pumps are the same. A number of factors must be considered in the pump selection process including; required discharge head/pressure, fluid to be transferred, temperature of fluid, suction conditions, availability of power, ease of service and other site-specific requirements.

We offer a vast range of mining pump hire from 5 Kilowatt up to 90 Kilowatts, including many pump options in-between.

Dewatering Pumps

Underground mines utilise water in their production processes, but it is imperative that the waste water is removed from tunnels so drilling schedules can be met. Dewatering can involve heavy, dirty water that may damage normal pumping equipment.

As a leading manufacturer of dewatering pumps and related equipment, P.U.M.P takes pride in helping customers solve their toughest dewatering challenges. We will work with you to determine the most efficient dewatering technique whilst aligning solutions with your operations plan. Our range of dewatering pumps are available for rent or purchase.

Why is Dewatering Important?

Open Pit Dewatering

Helps to manage rainwater, improve seepage water management and aids in lowering the water table to control ground water influx.

Underground Dewatering

Aids in keeping water out of sumps, optimises main drainage and boosts water out of mining shafts.

All Mine Dewatering Systems

Reduces equipment corrosion and material hauling costs, additionally dewatering pumps assist in extending asset life.

Enhancing Mine Safety, Productivity & Profitability

Keeps water in its place, protects mine workers and promotes continued operations. Choose Prestige Pumps for all your mine dewatering needs.

Pump Use Cases

Prestige’s pumps and equipment are suitable for a diverse range of applications spanning across the mining, processing & construction industries.

Natural Events

Civil contractors often deal with ground water and rain when clearing areas for major earthworks.

Pipe Installations

Groundwater suppression is often required when laying major pipelines. Submersible pumps make this possible.

Dredging

Dredging is another application where submersible pumps can be utilised to remove silt build up from waterways.

Shut Downs

Shutdowns of processing plants require pumps to remove waste water from tanks for maintenance or cleaning.

Spillages

Spillage events at processing plants require pumps to remove or recycle the spillage.

Protecting The Environment

Preventing waste water run-offs is a consideration for all mining operations who must abide by the boundaries of their mining lease and ensure nearby waterways and national parks are not contaminated.

Absolutely. Our experienced team can guide you in selecting the most efficient pump to rent for your project, taking into account factors such as flow rate, head pressure, suction conditions, and available power. For example, we can recommend the best pump for a 50-meter deep pit or for transferring abrasive slurry across long distances.

Our pumps are designed for a wide range of mining applications, including open pit and underground dewatering, slurry transfer, abrasive material handling, pipeline pumping, and emergency water removal. They are built to perform reliably in harsh conditions commonly found at mining sites throughout Australia and across international mining operations worldwide.

Mining pumps can be hired on a short-term basis for emergency dewatering or shutdowns, or on long-term arrangements for ongoing site operations. Flexible rental options are available to suit project timelines across all Australian states and internationally as well.

The right pump size depends on several factors including flow rate, head pressure, pumping distance, and the type of material being transferred. We assess water inflow rates, vertical lift requirements, and whether you’re pumping clean water or water containing solids and debris. For example, a 50-metre deep dewatering pit typically requires a higher-capacity pump. Our experienced team can evaluate your specific site conditions and recommend the most efficient solution for your project.
