Mining Pump | Keeping Aussie Mines Running

The western Australian mining industry is faced with harsh conditions such as abrasion, remote site pumping, and continuous pumping operations. Specialized in pumps and pumping systems of the mining industry, Pumptastic caters specifically to servicing and servicing pumps for tailings, sewage, slurry as well as sewage, all of which ensure productivity and safety for the mining industry.

Key mining applications include:

  • Dewatering pumps: Submersible borehole pumps for water table control. Grundfos SP series, for instance, are “the true originals” of stainless-steel submersibles and ensure efficiency and reliability in dewatering.

  • Slurry pumps: Heavy-duty cast-iron pumps (e.g. Tsurumi’s KTV/KTD series) with agitators to handle mud, sand and solids. These Tsurumi models are built to last in harsh mine conditions

  • Site drainage: High-flow surface pumps (diesel or electric) to clear heavy rain or floods from pits and access roads.

  • Camp wastewater: Grinder and sewage pumps (Grundfos SEG/SEV series) to manage toilet and kitchen waste.

  • Dewatering kits: Complete sets (pumps, hoses, manifolds) for quick deployment in emergency leaks or flooding.

Even though these pumps are quite strong, they still require some maintenance. A mine operator says, “In the mining industry, reliability is everything,” which is exactly what Pumptastic does. We keep important spares including impellers, seals, and motors as well as other parts on-site for faster repairs. Our team is qualified for on-site repairs which helps reduce pumping downtime. For example, one underground project we serviced was flooded, but because we had a Tsurumi dewatering pump readily available, we managed to eliminate the flood water to safe levels within a few hours.

Given the urgency of remote locations, Pumptastic provides expedited emergency servicing for mining locations. Should a dewatering pump malfunction, just call us. Our response time is fast. Afterward, we follow us with comprehensive servicing to ensure no recurring problems. It's the dependability and dedication that support mining operations in WA that keeping them running.
