Weir is recognised as a market leader in the
mining and minerals processing industry. Its worldwide famous
product brands including Warman, Geho, Vulco and Cavex can be found
in the mine sites of major players such at BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto,
Anglo American and many more.
Minerals Division's products
lead the world in slurry handling, whether lining a grinding mill,
pumping highly abrasive slurries, isolating pipelines with heavy
duty slurry valves or using cyclones to carry out a critical
classification operation.
The division has expanded its portfolio beyond minerals pumping
equipment to cover mine de-watering, specialist pumps for sand and
gravel operations, high wear products essential to the handling of
corrosive and erosive chemical slurries and heavy duty products
capable of pipeline transport to move the most diverse slurries
over distances of more than 300 kilometres.
A dedicated materials research facility in Australia employs
highly skilled material scientists who are constantly developing
proprietary elastomers and alloys to better meet the tough and
exacting requirements of these industries.
Within Weir, the minerals offering is added to by the Power & Industrial
Division recognised as a leader in the repair and refurbishing
of large or critical rotating equipment, both in-shop and on-site.
Crushers, grinding mills, pumps and fans are just some of the
equipment serviced by the highly skilled engineering teams who work
closely with customers to increase or improve performance.
