In Africa’s demanding mining environments, slurry pump performance can make or break operational efficiency. At Schurco Slurry, slurry pumping isn’t just part of what we do — it’s our sole focus. With over 60 years of combined expertise, we design pumps to thrive where others fail, delivering durability, efficiency, and reliability across the toughest mining conditions.
Our pumps are built using high-chrome wear-resistant alloys, heavy-duty casings, and specialized materials such as polyurethane and rubber, ensuring superior wear, abrasion, and impact resistance. Combined with optimized hydraulic designs, Schurco pumps achieve maximum efficiency, reducing energy losses and operating costs while maintaining exceptional performance under extreme loads.
Innovation That Extends Wear Life
Continuous research and development drives our designs. Schurco has advanced metallurgical formulations, introducing next-generation high-chrome alloys and enhanced polyurethane components for superior abrasion resistance. Re-engineered impeller profiles maximize efficiency and extend wear life, while improved sealing technologies minimize leakage and protect bearings in highly abrasive applications.
We’ve also launched a new range of dirty water pumps capable of handling slurry with a specific gravity (SG) up to 1.05, compatible with both electric and diesel drives — addressing evolving market needs while improving operational flexibility.
Engineered for African Mining Challenges
African mining operations often handle ultra-dense, highly abrasive slurries, requiring robust and adaptable pump solutions. Schurco features thickened casings, oversized bearings, and customizable liners and impellers designed for solids-rich conditions. Features like open impellers enhance solids tolerance and reduce clogging, while hardened alloy components in high-wear zones extend lifespan and maintenance intervals — crucial in remote, high-production sites.
Customer-Centric Service and Support
At Schurco, we go beyond supplying pumps — we’re partners in performance. From on-site audits and root-cause failure analysis to custom performance plans and hands-on operator training, our services are tailored to each client’s unique challenges.
Through regional service hubs across Africa, supported by 24/7 technical assistance, we ensure rapid deployment and continuous availability. For remote operations, we pre-position critical spares and work closely with local representatives and logistics partners to overcome access challenges.
A Future Driven by Digital Innovation
Schurco is transforming slurry pump operations with digital twin technology and interactive 3D AR models, enhancing decision-making, training, and maintenance planning. These innovations, combined with our continuous improvement process, empower customers to reduce downtime, cut costs, and improve safety.
Our commitment is simple: when our customers succeed, we succeed. Through advanced engineering, tailored solutions, and relentless support, Schurco Slurry Pumps continues to deliver quality, reliability, and performance — keeping African mines moving forward.
