Heavy Duty Mine Pumps

    Trusted mining pump supplier backed by 49+ years of experience

    Pump failure on a mine site isn’t just inconvenient – it’s costly. Downtime, missed production targets, and rising maintenance costs are often signs of the wrong pump set-up. That’s why mining operations across Australia trust Global Pumps, one of the country’s leading mining pump suppliers and manufacturers, to get it right from the start.

    Whether you're handling abrasive slurry, dosing aggressive chemicals, or managing groundwater, we supply high-performance heavy duty mine pumps built to withstand the harshest site conditions. With over 48 years of experience in pumps used in the mining industry, we deliver reliable, site-tested solutions – fast.

    Mining pumps

    Why heavy duty mine pumps are different?

    Mining pumps are designed not only to move liquid, but solid materials mixed in with the liquid, an abrasive mixture known as slurry. The result is an exceptionally durable pump with multiple capabilities. Mining pumps are primarily used to pump crushed up mineral ores, but they can also incorporate technologies that make it easier to remove liquid from the concentrated slurry, or separate various minerals. The durability of these devices cannot be overstated, with countless stories from the field showcasing just how well mining pumps hold up under pressure.

    FAQ about mining pumps


    1. Which pump is best for transferring thick tailings or high-viscosity slurry?

      Our SlurryPro pumps are built specifically for abrasive, high-solids applications like tailings and thick slurries. They’re tough, easy to maintain and proven in mine environments.

    2. Can your pumps handle highly acidic or chemically aggressive solutions used in mineral processing?

      Yes, our Techniflo magnetic drive pumps are ideal for aggressive media. They feature a seal-less design, which eliminates leakage risks and offers excellent chemical resistance across a range of corrosive media.

    3. What’s the recommended maintenance schedule for pumps operating 24/7 on a mine site?

      It depends on the application, but our pumps—particularly SlurryPro and Verderflex—are selected for long wear life and simple servicing. We recommend scheduled inspections every few weeks and minor servicing every 3–6 months, depending on site conditions.

    4. Do you provide support for installation and integration?

      Absolutely. We supply 3D models, GA drawings, and technical advice to make integration as smooth as possible.
