There are many types of pumps, such as water pumps, mining pumps, industrial pump. This article will assist you to know Types of mining pumps. Ore Mining Pumps are the types of  mining pumps which in the ore mining process. The mining water pumps depend on the fluid transfer and application need can divide into the slurry pump, gravel pump, dredge pump, submersible slurry pump, vertical slurry pump, horizontal pump, centrifugal pump, froth slurry pump, etc.

Mining pumps work for mineral processing, slurry transfer, abrasive sludge dewatering, acid and chemical reagent dosing, water supply and boosting, and wastewater and tailing transfer.

Slurry Pump

A slurry pump is a type of pump designed for pumping liquid containing solid particles. Slurry pumps changes in design and construction to adjust to multiple type of slurry which varies in a concentration of solids, size of solid particles, the shape of solid particles, and composition of the solution. Slurry pump is more robust than liquid pumps; they have added sacrificial material and replaceable wear parts to withstand wear due to abrasion.

Both centrifugal and positive displacement pumps can be used for slurry. Centrifugal slurry pumps can have between bearing-supported shafts with split casing or rubber- or metal-lined casing. Configurations include horizontal, vertical suspended and submersible.

Gravel Pump

Sand pump is most commonly used in the pumping system that move sand deposits to long distance. It is simply classified as sand pump, slurry pump and gravel pump. They are widely used in mining, metallurgy, coal washing, power plants, sewage water treatment, dredging, and chemical and petroleum industries.

Dredge Pump

Dredge pumps are a special category of heavy-duty slurry pumps that are utilized in the process of dredging. Dredging is referred to as the process of transport of underwater sediments (usually sand, gravel or rocks) from one region to another. Dredging takes place in shallow water areas of lakes, rivers or ocean for the purpose of land reclamation, desilting, flood prevention, creation of new ports or expansion of existing ports. Hence, various industries which utilize dredge pumps are construction industry, mining industry, coal industry and oil & gas industry.
