ROTO Pumps recently helped a mining client out of a sticky situation.
Having supplied solutions to the mining industry since 1968, ROTO Pumps was an obvious call for one miner with serious pumping woes.
The mine’s entire processing and dewatering network was struggling to keep up with the demands of the site, with significant implications for overall operations. The project deals with harsh conditions and aggressive media that requires a high head pressure, calling for pumps that are capable of heavy lifting beyond the norm.
ROTO Queensland and Northern Territory manager Brett Layt said the team deployed to site immediately and met the challenge head-on.
“ROTO has capabilities to supply any PCP [progressing cavity pump] package worldwide, meeting any site or national standards and requirements,” Layt told Mining.
“For this client, we created a bespoke dual-positive displacement helical rotor pump package with in-built dewatering fish tank to meet and exceed the site-specific application.”
The solution was swiftly implemented at the mine site by a team of ROTO pumping experts.
How did they deliver so quickly?
“We hold stock of all required mining pump service parts ready to go,” Layt said.
“Our knowledgeable team are always on hand to troubleshoot any enquires sent our way.
“Our optioned package for this client is designed to increase the service life of the pump, with multiple baffles and flushing points to mitigate the harshness of the media collected in the fish tank.”
ROTO also offers on-site after-sales training on its pumps and systems to help ensure its clients get the most out of their solutions.
For Layt, keeping the mining industry’s pumping systems running smoothly is about more than just a job well done.
“Our adaptability and attention to detail for the requirements of every application really set us apart,” he said.
“We strive to not only be a cost-effective option but also smash lead time while providing a more personable experience.”
Over more than 57 years spent gaining insights into the mining industry’s major pumping challenges, ROTO has developed a comprehensive range of progressive cavity pumps and systems to effectively handle all mining and explosive applications.
Central to the company’s practices is a deep commitment to, and passion for, supporting clients to set and achieve larger goals than ever before. Layt believes this is the only way to drive the industry forward into a successful future.
“ROTO’s range and capabilities are forever growing and evolving,” he said. “We will continue to be a valued ally with our customers to provide stress-free pumping solutions.”
