KSB Pumps and Valves has been at the forefront of designing and manufacturing pumps that are specifically built to meet the needs of the mining industry. With a focus on sustainability the company is leading the charge when it comes to providing equipment that can handle a variety of mining conditions, is easy to maintain, and provides a long wear life.
“In addition to our focus on sustainability, we dedicate time and energy to minimising downtime on our mining pumps which is achieved through a range of measures, including the use of high-quality materials and manufacturing processes, as well as extensive testing and quality control procedures,” says Rob Bond, KSB Pumps and Valves, area manager for mining in Southern Africa.
