MUNSCH Pumps for the Mining Industry

For pumps to deal with acidic slurries, durability is paramount.

High performance industrial plastics have proven to be hidden champions in the most challenging industries. Here at MUNSCH we have specialized in plastic material and the technology of manufacturing superior centrifugal pumps from it.

Optimize Mining Processes with Munsch Non-Metallic Pumps for Acid Transfer and Leaching

Starting with acid transfer, but often in use within leaching processes, involving various chemicals, Munsch non-metallic pumps are a key component in many mining processes, with the focus on extracting precious metals and minerals.

Please note the following, main advantages for your process, considering our technology at your side.

“How can plastics outperform metal alloys?”

1. Varying temperatures and concentrations:

To many people unknown, plastics can handle varying concentrations of chemicals and temperatures way better than metals, making it a reliable solution for unsteady operational duties with changes related to temperatures and medium concentration.

2. Avoiding Erosion corrosion:

Hard to believe but true – in many situations plastics can handle solids much better than metals.

Where metals are often specialists in handling either corrosion or abrasion, high performance plastics excel in both fields.

A common phenomenon called erosion corrosion, where metal is worked away by an alternating attack of erosion and corrosion does simply not exist in plastic pumps.

3. Durability:

Plastic pumps are durable.

Don’t think of your garden pond when thinking of Munsch pumps – Here at Munsch we manufacture industrial grade pumps.

They handle 16 bar of pressure or temperatures as high as 190°C, they come with a variety of safety options and are fully covered by a thick cast iron armor.

In mining operators want durability, MUNSCH pumps are durable and forgiving.

Our Portfolio. Non metallic pump types from Munsch:

These are sturdy industrial pumps, following international standards and extremely robust. All wetted parts are from plastics, protected by a full metallic armor.

Our pumps can handle the range described below, carried out horizontal or vertical, following your needs at side. No matter if based on a magnetic driven arrangement, achieving the highest degree of operational safety due to its hermetically sealed setup, or equipped with a mechanical seal, being able to handle high degrees of dry solid being conveyed. We are able to supply the best solution for your individual task.

In case you have limited space available, face low NPSHa values, or other needs to consider a sump pump, such arrangement, built from high performance industrial plastics, can be the key.

- Q of up to 5000m³/h which equals to 22.500gpm

- Head of up to 140m, which equals to 400ft.

The plastics available allow us to serve highly corrosive tasks, for example by using PFA, but can also supply a reliable mechanical resistance, suitable for forcing applications, by using polyethylene.
