Mining Pump Supply for Specialised Applications
Robday’s Filtration service helps mining and industrial sites protect equipment, improve process reliability, and reduce unplanned downtime caused by solids, grit and contamination. We supply and support filtration solutions that are selected for the real operating environment, including variable water quality, high volumes, and systems that cannot afford constant manual cleaning.
We start by understanding what needs to be removed and why, whether it is sand, suspended solids, scale, or process carryover. From there we recommend filtration that fits the duty, flow rates, pressure requirements, and maintenance realities on site. This includes support for sand filtration as well as automated solids removal systems designed to keep performance consistent without constant operator attention.
Because filtration is rarely isolated, we also consider the full system impact. Proper filtration reduces wear on pumps and valves, stabilises flow and pressure, improves cooling water reliability, and extends the life of downstream equipment. The outcome is a cleaner, more stable system that performs longer between interventions.
Our Brands
Robday stocks and supports a broad mix of pump brands and specialist ranges, giving clients options across water, slurry, chemical, and dewatering requirements. These include Verder Pumps SA (such as Verdermag magnetic drive, Verderflex peristaltic, Verderair double diaphragm, and dosing pumps), CURO Pumps, and Balz Pumps vertical spindle ranges.
They also stock Cemo Pumps, Godwin Diesel DRI (diesel driven pumping solutions), Buccaneer Slurry Pumps, and RAP Technologies, alongside established mining pump offerings such as Grundfos for chemical and slurry duties. This mix allows us to recommend a solution based on the duty, not just a single brand.
What These Pumps Are Used For
We supply pumps for typical mining and industrial requirements where performance and robustness are essential. This includes clear water transfer and high lift duties, chemical transfer where correct materials and leakage control are important, and slurry handling in mineral processing and high wear circuits.
Common use cases include:
- service and process water transfer
- dewatering and site water management
- chemical transfer and dosing applications
- abrasive slurry pumping in mining and concentrator environments
Centrifugal pumps
These pumps are typically selected for service water supply, plant reticulation, high lift transfer, and general applications where the pumped medium is relatively clean and predictable. The key is selecting the correct size and duty point so the pump runs efficiently and avoids issues caused by operating too far from its best operating range.
Magnetic Drive Pumps
These pumps are generally used for chemical transfer and other sensitive liquids where a sealed approach is preferred. Correct selection is still critical, especially around chemical compatibility, temperature, and duty conditions.
Slurry Pumps
Slurry pumps are typically used in mineral processing circuits, abrasive transfer lines, and high solids applications where the pump must handle both the hydraulic duty and the mechanical wear imposed by the slurry. Selection normally considers slurry characteristics, particle size, solids percentage, and the balance between performance and component life.
