Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025, Schurco has been a stalwart in the pumping industry since its inception in 1975. With a mission to serve global mining, processing, and general industries by providing trustworthy and reliable pumps, parts, and service, Schurco stands out for its commitment to unmatched engineering excellence, efficient global inventory management, attentive customer service, and cost-effectiveness.
Schurco distinguishes itself in a field dominated by large corporations, offering a streamlined, bottom-line conscious engineering approach. The vision is clear – to manufacture and deliver the most trusted slurry pump on the market with unparalleled customer service. Over the years, Schurco has transformed from a technically advanced repair and machine shop into a full-service slurry pump manufacturing company, showcasing its evolution and enduring impact on the industry.
The manufacturing and research processes take place at Schurco Slurry’s state-of-the-art facilities in the United States and South Africa. Marc Young, Schurco Slurry Pump Applications & Projects Manager, emphasizes the company’s dedication to addressing the challenges posed by variable minerals processing. He notes that Schurco’s slurry pumps are customized for each mine and application, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
Quality that speaks for itself.
Notably, Schurco Slurry specializes in the use of polyurethane, a proven material known for its exceptional resistance to corrosion and abrasion. The wet-end spares are manufactured from Schurco Slurry’s proprietary polyurethane compound, boasting a wear life approximately 66% longer than alternative linings available on the market.
The feedback on a previously supplied Metal Casing attests to the robustness and reliability of products in challenging operational conditions. The client recently returned a pump for repair that had been previously serviced, incorporating our metal casing in the repair process. This involved a 100VS Vertical Pump Casing, 27% Chrome, locally produced on our own pattern. Despite extensive damage to internal components such as the impeller and backliner, remarkably, the casing remained unscathed without even a scratch.
Schurco Slurry has taken a significant step in enhancing the durability and performance of our products by replacing all brass components with stainless steel. This strategic shift is rooted in the numerous advantages that stainless steel offers over brass. By opting for stainless steel, Schurco Slurry not only reinforces the quality of our offerings but also underscores our commitment to delivering durable and efficient solutions to our customers.
