Bredel, a brand under Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions, has introduced its new Heavy Duty pump, purpose-built to deliver enhanced safety, reliability, and durability for the mining and construction sectors.
Engineered as a peristaltic pump solution, it is specifically designed to handle abrasive, high-solids slurries, thick sludge, and corrosive fluids with minimal wear. Key design enhancements include a heavy-duty frame for safe forklift transport, reinforced bearings for extended service life, a window guard for added safety, and a robust flange bracket that minimizes the risk of lubricant leakage while simplifying maintenance. The C4H coating provides superior corrosion resistance—ideal for environments exposed to acids and bases.
Versatile in application, the pump can be deployed for:
- Slurry transfer with minimal degradation
- Precision chemical dosing to boost operational efficiency
- Dewatering to prevent flooding and environmental hazards
- Tailings transportation, ensuring regulatory compliance
Grace Madden, Bredel Product Manager, commented:
“The Bredel Heavy Duty pump offers exceptional safety and durability for mining and construction companies, significantly reducing downtime and increasing efficiency. Its advanced features ensure reliable performance in harsh environments, preventing costly downtime. By addressing the unique challenges faced by mining operations globally, this pump represents a more sustainable and efficient solution for the most demanding conditions.”
Further underlining its commitment to sustainability, Bredel has also transitioned its manufacturing process from solvent-based to waterborne paints, reducing VOC emissions by 90%.
