When a chrome mine in the Steelpoort area of South Africa recently
experienced a challenge with a tailings dam overfilling with slurry sediment,
it was Integrated Pump Rental and its SlurrySucker Maxi dredging unit that
came to the rescue.
“One of our mining customers had a tailings dam that was filled with
slurry to over 110% of its capacity and the sediment needed to be remove to
ensure optimum functioning of the tailings facility,” Lee Vine, Managing
Director of Integrated Pump Rental, explains.
Integrated Pump Rental’s SlurrySucker dredge units are suitable for
dredging and cleaning water capture areas where silt or slimes has become
an issue, or where water retention and water holding capacity in process
ponds is being threatened.
Equipped with a 37 kW Bravo 700 Grindex pump and with the capacity to
pump 70 t/h of slurry, the SlurrySucker Maxi operates at an average of
about 40% concentration, depending on factors such as the material’s
specific gravity and how solid the sediment has become.

Despite its capacity of 75 dry t/h, the SlurrySucker Maxi model’s compact
design makes it simple to move and operate. It measures just 5.4 m in
length and is 2.5 m wide and 3 m high
