Weir Minerals Offers Warman Froth Pumps Weir Minerals offers its family of War��� man Froth Pumps, specifically designed to handle heavy froth and dense slurries in the flotation process. The pumps were showcased at MINExpo 2012 in Las Vegas. ���No two mining operations are alike. The only commonality is the harsh envi��� ronment of moving abrasive materials from the ground through a processing facility,��� said Geoff Moore, divisional sales and marketing director from Weir Minerals. ���Improving mine efficiency and removing more minerals from raw material are challenges mine operators face daily. The Warman Froth Pumps are designed specifically for harsh min��� ing environments.��� A byproduct of the mining process is froth, which is fine particles that com��� bine with air to create a dense material that can bind a standard pump. A stable pump can maintain a consistent flow��� rate of raw material through the process, but it has to manage the flow of froth. Too much froth, and the pump can air lock, stopping production. The Warman Froth Pumps are designed with a large oversized inlet with unique impeller inducer blade that can handle heavy froth and higher viscosity dense slurries with ease. products that are higher quality and last significantly longer than previous tech��� nology. With its new Material Matters strategy, Weir Minerals focuses on max��� imizing efficiency and productivity, while maintaining the safety for mine operators in the field. The cost of operating a mine has steadily increased the last 20 years. As a result, mine operators are investing in Weir Minerals, ww.whatismaterialmatters.com PRODUCT FEATURES: n An inducer blade impeller for positive froth feed. n Enlarged high effciency slurry throatbush to maximize the inlet size and reduce NPSH required. n Available in various discharge sizes. KPI-JCI SuperStacker is Solution for Stockpile Segregation cline, layered windrows will be built, min��� imizing stockpile segregation. Desegregated stockpiling means suppli��� ers produce more material that matches specification, resulting in no re���blending and less discounting, said Jodi Heirigs, product manager at Kolberg���Pioneer Inc. (KPI���JCI). Minimizing stockpile segregation and in��� creasing stockpile capacity is key to sav��� ing money and tackling the world���s toughest jobs. SuperStackers are essential to building a desegregated stockpile and ensuring product quality. ���In���spec��� mate��� rial prevents costly expenses associated with reprocessing materials, saving you what���s most important: time and money. By controlling the extension of the stinger conveyor, radial travel and conveyor in��� conventional stacker, optimizing stor��� age space. The KPI���JCI SuperStacker includes as standard a ���cam���arm��� linkage, connect��� ing the rear undercarriage to the con��� veyor frame. This maintains a constant radius from the pivot plate to the axle, ensuring true radial movement and un��� interrupted stockpiling. The Wizard Touch automation control system is vital to an efficient stockpiling operation and produces a higher quality product. The easy���to���use automation system comes with factory pre���set pro��� gramming, and provides the versatility of customizing in the field. Through its innovative design, the Su��� perStacker allows 30 percent more stockpile in the same footprint versus a KPI���JCI���s progressive engineers know that efficiency and productivity is vital to profitability. The SuperStacker is one of the quickest and easiest telescoping stackers to pack up and move to the next operation. The gullwing axle pro��� vides optimal portability, going from road portable to operational in minutes.
