Zambia’s Copperbelt continues to expand its role as a key global source of copper and cobalt. With mining activity increasing, efficient and reliable water management has become a critical success factor. Mine dewatering not only ensures uninterrupted production but also protects the safety of underground operations.
Groundwater seepage and drilling slimes must be managed at every level of the mine. This requires pumps that can handle abrasive solids, deliver high pressure, and maintain constant performance even under fluctuating conditions.
SEEPEX progressive cavity pumps provide exactly that reliability. The BN pump range achieves delivery pressures up to 48 bar, eliminating the need to stage multiple pumps to reach high heads. Their positive displacement principle transports fluids containing solids, including large particles, with minimal wear. Whether it is seepage water with low solids content or slurries with high solids load, SEEPEX pumps maintain a steady flow by simply adjusting speed.
For operators, this translates into tangible benefits: abrasion-resistant designs, long service life of wear parts, and patented maintenance features that reduce downtime. Seal water is not required in most configurations, removing costs and simplifying operation. The result is lower total cost of ownership and higher operational efficiency.
In Zambia’s demanding mining environment, SEEPEX pumps combine pressure capability, solids handling, and easy maintenance to keep mines dry and productive, supporting safe and sustainable growth in the Copperbelt.
