How To Choose The Best Pump for My Application
This presentation will help you learn more about slurry pump types, what materials suit each pump best, and how to find the right type.
GIW’s wear-resistant and durable slurry pumps combine with high-performance technology with our application knowledge to ensure optimal performance.

Incorporating experience of designing slurry pumps, GIW has custom-engineered slurry pumps that feature advanced materials, hydraulics, and patented mechanical designs. One of our latest products is the Mill Duty Extra Heavy (MDX) pump, which is designed to withstand adverse conditions for hard rock mining and slurry.
Designed for hard rock applications, the MDX has facilitated the extraction of metal and mineral deposits worldwide. The MDX pump’s advanced hydraulic technology offers a predictable wear life, which results in a reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).
GIW has been extensively obtaining slurry samples from customers for testing hydraulics and materials. The company’s research and development facilities comprise multiple slurry test beds on the campus, together with a hydraulics laboratory for pump performance testing.
The features of the MDX include:
The MDX design allows for a wide discharge range between 150mm and 750mm, and flow rates up to 14,000m³/h. It can reach up to 51m of head and features a pressure rating up to 150psi.
The GIW single-wall, all-metal MDX pump design is more effective than rubber-lined pumps, as the component offers an increasingly predictable wear life and a reduced risk of catastrophic failure.
The MDX can be used in a variety of applications, but it is especially suitable for hard rock comminution. These applications require the use of one or more grinding stages for reducing crushed run-of-mine ore down to suitable particle size for liberating the product from gangue materials. The MDX has consistently met customer expectations within the following applications:
Since the day it launched, GIW has worked to improve the hydraulic design of the MDX so that our customers can keep their pumps work with enhanced efficiency.
The latest upgrade is the addition of the Remotely Adjusted Mechanical Suction Liner, also known as RAMSL. This improves maintenance procedures on the pump by enabling remote adjustments to the internal clearance between the impeller nose and the suction liner. With the addition of the RAMSL, maintenance time is significantly reduced from a few hours to a few minutes.
Delivering unparalleled rugged design and reliable operation, the MDX pump is the ideal for extra heavy mill duty operations.
