Mining

In mining applications, pumps play a crucial role in operations such as quarry dewatering, washing systems, and bypasses. These demanding environments require pumps that are rugged, reliable, and easy to operate, maintain, and repair on-site.

This is where Gorman-Rupp mining pumps stand out. Our self-priming pumps combine a high-quality design with large solids handling capability and minimal maintenance needs, thanks to their simple construction with few moving parts.

For intermittent flow applications, Gorman-Rupp’s dry self-priming pumps are the ideal solution. Featuring a specialized vacuum priming system and our proprietary TPAWS system, they ensure fast, reliable priming and excellent dry-running performance.

Gorman-Rupp offers mining pumps powered by a modern, eco-friendly Stage 5 diesel engine or an emission-free electric drive. Whatever minerals you’re extracting, Gorman-Rupp has the right mining pump for your needs.

Overview of our pumps for mining

Self priming

Reliable, efficient, and easy to maintain- Gorman-Rupp self-priming pumps handle liquids containing air, solids, and debris while keeping maintenance hassle-free. Thanks to automatic repriming, they continue running even if the suction line is completely empty. Their above-ground installation ensures easy servicing, eliminating the need for confined space entry.

Prime assisted

Designed for demanding conditions, Gorman-Rupp dry-prime pumps automatically remove air from the suction line, allowing for immediate pumping without manual priming. They deliver high flow rates, large solids handling, strong suction power, and energy-efficient operation- ideal for tough applications that require reliability and quick deployment.

Standard centrifugal

Built for precise and controlled fluid movement, rotary gear pumps use interlocking gears to transfer liquids with a steady, pulsation-free flow. Gorman-Rupp rotary gear pumps are ideal for handling thick, high-viscosity fluids such as oils, lubricants, paints, and chemicals. Their positive displacement mechanism ensures accurate dosing, making them a reliable choice for applications that demand precision.

Frequently Asked Questions: Mining Pumps

Which pumps are most suitable for mining operations?

Mining sites deal with abrasive slurry, groundwater, tailings, and dirty process water. Gorman-Rupp supplies robust self-priming centrifugal pumps, slurry pumps, and diaphragm pumps designed for high wear resistance. These pumps handle solids, heavy sludge, and continuous duty conditions common in mining.

Start with the required flow, head, suction conditions, and solids content. Our teams help you define these parameters and match them with a pump that delivers stable performance with minimal maintenance. For rapid lowering of water levels, our self-priming pumps offer fast automatic priming and high reliability.

For slurry with high solids content, we recommend hardened wear components, open impeller or Vortex designs and pumps built for continuous abrasive duty. Gorman-Rupp slurry models are engineered to reduce downtime and simplify service on remote mine sites.

Gorman-Rupp operates service locations throughout Europe with partners. This ensures quick delivery and technical support when water levels rise unexpectedly.
