John Crane retrofit helps copper mine save around 288 000 litres of sealing water per day on critical tailings pump
John Crane, a global leader in flow control technologies and a business of Smiths Group plc, has retrofitted a mechanical seal on a large underflow thickener slurry pump at a major copper mining operation, cutting the clean water needed for sealing by around 288 000 litres per day and supporting a move away from frequent, high-risk maintenance interventions on a production-critical asset.
