The design team behind this major WA mine expansion project have led the way in better slurry piping.
Rather than stick with traditional rigid piping, they added flexible piping from the get-go.
Here’s why:
- Reduces the risk of piping misalignment during construction
- Removes tight, rigid, fast-wearing bends to optimize slurry flow
- Simplifies piping design and maintenance
Throughout the plant they are using Slurryflex SF Series Superflex mining hose. It’s the most flexible hard wall mining hose in the world – achieving a bed radius of 4-7D without kinking.
The extra flexibility provides a gentler bend for better slurry flow and more tolerance for axial, lateral or angular misalignment. Plus, the integral built spigot supports the weight of the hose.
