Bredel hose pumps handle abrasive sludge, paste, and slurries at 100% volumetric accuracy. The heavy-duty peristaltic hose pumps are virtually maintenance-free as there are no impellers, liners or mechanical seals to replace, no check valves to clog, and no rotors or stators to wear out. Bredel hose pumps can handle undiluted tailings and thickener underflow slurries with a solids mass concentration of up to 80%, including variable particle sizes and oversize particles (for example: mixtures of fine and coarse tailings). Bredel hose pumps can outperform centrifugal pumps in continuous flow rates up to 72 m³/h and intermittent flow rates up to 108 m³/h when pumping concentrate, gangue or tailings, as well as chemical reagents and coagulants. Their ability to handle abrasive, high-viscosity fluids minimises process water usage, maximises uptime and reduces maintenance. Flow rates up to 108 cubic metres/hr at 16 bar can be achieved with Bredel which can transfer slurry with a solids mass concentration of up to 80%.
