Everything You Need to Know About Water Pumps Used in Mining

Feb. 17 2022 News By Synergy Equipment

From copper to coal mines, fluid transfer is essential, which means the water pumps used in mining have to be top-of-the-line. You can find all the essential water pumps used in mining at Synergy Equipment. Below, we show you what you need to know about how fluid transfer pumps are essential for your mining operation.


How Pumps Used in Mining Benefit Your Operation


Pumps used in mining have a variety of roles depending on the type of mining operation. Air-operated diaphragm mining pumps, for instance, are essential for underground mining to clear out water from trenches and other low points and transfer it to central sumps away from work areas. With underground mines you sometimes experience flooding as the mine goes below the water table. Synergy’s double diaphragm pumps are perfect for such operations, especially for clearing sludge or sock dewatering.


Keeping Your Equipment Clean


Dewatering pumps are also essential for keeping equipment clean. Coal mining operations often use these pumps to wash belt heads. These applications not only preserve your equipment but also keep your workplace safe and running efficiently. Pumps for mining applications such as dewatering typically vary in size from about 2-inches to 12-inches depending on the application.
