Our KREBS® split-case pumps are engineered for demanding applications. They offer exceptional durability, reliability, and efficiency when handling abrasive mining slurries. A range of wear materials extends uptime, while the split-case design facilitates maintenance access to internal parts for shorter downtime.
Our proprietary adjustable wear ring technology allows quick and easy control of suction-side clearance, increasing pump efficiency by 5-10% and helping maintain design performance over the pump's life, without increasing pump speed. This results in lower power consumption and lower cost per tonne pumped.
By allowing easy and regular adjustment of suction side clearance via the adjustable wear ring and eliminating in-pump grinding, KREBS pumps maintain hydraulic performance close to the BEP throughout the pump's lifetime, increasing the wear life of all wet-end parts.
With multiple, easily interchangeable elastomers, high-chrome alloys, and polyurethane combinations available, KREBS pump liners are customised the application. This ensures the pump delivers even and predictable wear, enabling optimised maintenance scheduling to reduce downtime and onsite inventory holding.
We all know the mining industry needs more skilled labour. This lack can make it hard to attract the people you need to run your mineral processing lab, especially when the mine is in a remote location. With their reduced for human involvement, automated laboratories negate that challenge, ensuring a reliable and accurate flow of sample data, regardless of staffing concerns.
Lower power consumption, with reductions of up to 5–10% for the same flow and head.
Reduced human involvement supports safer, more controlled operation.
Exceptional durability and a range of wear materials extend uptime and support more sustainable use of components.
We provide comprehensive lifecycle support services for your KREBS slurry pumps. Our global network of service and spare parts centres ensures prompt access to parts and consumables, as well as offsite rebuilds through our pump rebuild exchange program. Our onsite service engineers monitor pump performance, offering recommendations for upgrades or adjustments to operating practices to maintain optimal efficiency as process conditions evolve over time. Additionally, we offer operation and maintenance training, including guidance on adjusting the wear ring.
Our slurryMAX pump is the most versatile, efficient, and longest-lasting slurry pump of its kind, handling most applications in mining and mineral processing plants. The increased performance of the pump’s centrifugal seal, with its large diameter expeller and oversized vanes, opens the door for more applications that previously had no alternative but to use water flush or expensive mechanical sealing systems.
The slurryMAX-XD horizontal pump features a heavy-duty impeller and thick, steel-reinforced elastomer linings to extend wear life, enabling it to handle the most aggressive applications, including primary cyclone feed and tailings.
The UMD-R is a fully rubber lined, split case version of the UMD, designed for heavy-duty mill discharge applications. With heavy-duty rubber liners the UMD-R is particularly suited for wide flow ranges and corrosive duties.
