Choosing a SPR Pump

Choosing a SPR Pump

The SPR pump is a vertical slurry pump widely used in mining, mineral processing, chemical, and sewage treatment industries. Engineered for handling highly abrasive and corrosive slurries, it is built with heavy-duty materials such as cast iron, stainless steel, and high-chrome alloys. Depending on the application, impellers are available in both metal and rubber, ensuring durability against severe wear and particle impact.

At Minerco, our SPR series pumps are designed for long service life, high efficiency, and reliable performance in demanding environments. The wet-end parts are manufactured from a combination of wear-resistant alloys and high-performance elastomers. This dual-material construction ensures maximum resistance against erosion and corrosion while maintaining operational flexibility across different applications.

Key features of Minerco SPR pumps include:

Abrasion-resistant materials – High chrome alloy and premium elastomers withstand jagged, sharp particles such as iron ore, coal, or sand.

Rugged vertical design – Ideal for fluctuating liquid levels, as the pump operates without the need for priming.

Non-clogging performance – Open impeller and robust shaft design minimize downtime caused by blockages.

Energy efficiency – Optimized hydraulics reduce power consumption, lowering total cost of ownership.

When selecting a SPR pump, important factors include slurry viscosity, particle size and shape, contamination level, and abrasion severity. Additional considerations such as flow rate, head requirements, and piping layout should also be evaluated to ensure maximum performance and longevity.

Compared to conventional pumps, Minerco’s SPR pumps deliver lower operating costs thanks to reduced power consumption and minimal maintenance needs. They are especially effective in applications where liquid levels fluctuate, as the vertical configuration adapts easily to changing operating conditions.

Applications of Minerco SPR Pumps:

Mining & Mineral Processing – Efficient transport of tailings, coal, iron ore, and abrasive slurries.

Chemical Industry – Corrosion-resistant handling of aggressive liquids and byproducts.

Sewage & Environmental Protection – Reliable pumping of wastewater and sludge.

Construction – Transport of cement, lime, sand, and dregs.

By combining robust engineering with cost-effective operation, Minerco SPR pumps provide a dependable solution for abrasive and corrosive fluid transfer.
