Pumps for Mining, Built to Last

Made Tough™ Mine Pump Solutions

The GPM-Eliminator™ line of pumps was designed with the mining industry specifically in mind. Whether you need to dewater an open pit or transport slurry/abrasive materials – see how the GPM-Eliminator will tackle almost every application in your mining operation.

Mining Slurry Pumps

GPM understands the importance of smooth operation and continuous production in the mining sector.  In 1989, after noticing a significant need for heavy-duty slurry pumps tough enough to transfer solids—specifically taconite pellets—we set out to design a pump that provided peace of mind, cost savings, and reliable performance for mining operations. Thus, the GPM-Eliminator was manufactured, addressing these needs by:

  • Ensuring even wear across the liquid end
  • Minimizing shaft deflection
  • Spray holes providing solids suspension and agitation
  • The ability to run dry 

We provide complete solutions for your mine’s dewatering applications, from single dewatering pumps to comprehensive dewatering systems. No matter the operation, we have the expertise and capability to provide reliable, cost-effective mine dewatering solutions.

Slurry Applications:

  • Clean out sumps
  • Ball mill sumps
  • Rod mill sumps
  • Cooler sumps
  • Seep water sumps
  • Crusher cleanout sumps
  • Pellet load out sumps
  • Screen house sumps
  • Conveyor sumps
  • Limestone sumps
  • Tailings sumps
  • Smelter sumps
  • Shaft bottom sumps
  • Slime settling sumps
  • Ore reclaim sumps
  • Paste fill operations
  • Concentrate transfer
  • Smelter washdown sumps
  • Slurry transfer
  • & more

Mine Dewatering Pumps

Mine dewatering pump selection is crucial to mine pit maintenance and longevity. Dewatering open pit mines involves regulating the water level within the pit and moving water out when needed, providing benefits such as:

  • Allowing access to mineral deposits that otherwise would be unreachable
  • Extending the life and productivity of the mine pit
  • Protecting the company’s investment in expensive mining equipment
  • Ensuring the safety of all people involved in the mining process

GPM Mine Dewatering Systems

GPM has the expertise to engineer complete custom dewatering systems for any application, ensuring high performance, reliability, and cost-competitive installations and operations. Our dewatering systems promise:

  • Increased reliability: Extended MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) translates into a longer service life
  • More flexibility: The GPM-Eliminator can be completely submerged or barge-mounted
  • Lower maintenance: Pumps self-prime with no auxiliary equipment required and can handle unexpected and occasional solids with ease
  • Cost-effectiveness: Ultra-durability means lower maintenance requirements and fewer unexpected failures, resulting in a lower lifetime operating cost.

Dewatering Applications:

  • Drive-in sumps
  • Washdown sumps
  • Settling collection ponds
  • Ramp applications (already set up for high-head pumps)
  • Mine level sumps
  • Face dewatering
  • Tunnel sumps
  • & more
