pressure gauge 10 bar of mineral process gear specialist Multotec has been highlighted by the latest supply of its South African-manufactured slurry pumps to a chrome project in Kazakhstan. According to Gerhard Hendriksz, basic manager responsible for slurry pumps at Multotec, an order of 38 slurry pumps was delivered in mid-December 2021 via a collaboration of Multotec’s worldwide business group and the company’s distributor in Kazakhstan.

The pump range that Multotec delivered contains fashions from the HD25 to the MD300, in steel and rubber-lined configurations to swimsuit their respective duties.
An spectacular turnaround time of simply 10 weeks was achieved, with Multotec leveraging its trusted native supply chain that included foundry work, machining and other suppliers in addition to collaboration with Multotec’s technical partner, 7D based mostly in Perth, Australia.

“Our distributor has in-depth knowledge of the customer’s purposes and has the engineering expertise to ensure optimal product specification and efficiency,” says Burger. “Multotec will support the products with aftersales and help companies, together with availability of spare elements.”
