The failure of a critical pump in a mining operation means unplanned and extremely expensive downtime, which can escalate into hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue in just a few hours’ time. That makes it all the more critical to choose the appropriate pump for difficult mining environments where pumps are required to perform virtually nonstop.
In addition, the drop in commodity prices has caused many mining operations to place added focus on maximizing the longevity of equipment through smart product selection and equipment repair to meet production goals.
