Title: Metso Minerals Upgrades Slurry Pumps in Michigan Iron Ore Mine with Diagram

Metso Minerals (MM) and their dealer, Champion Charter Sales & Service (CCSS) in Ishpeming, Michigan began a partnership with Cleveland Cliffs Tilden Mine (CCTM) to address concerns on SRL-C pump performance in their grinding circuit. CCTM is a large iron mining operation located in Ishpeming, Michigan. Larry Hermanson, Mechanical Engineer, CCTM took the lead on this program and is the primary champion for the upgrades. The SRL-C pumps went into operation in the mid 1970’s and after 30 years of service, the mine was experiencing unacceptable downtime due to poor wear life and/or bearing assembly failures. The flow diagram abowe shows the SRL-C pumps affected in CCTM’s grinding circuit.
