    The document contains information about various millMAX pumps installed at different mining operations including gold, nickel, and iron ore mines. It provides details on the pump models, applications, flow rates, head pressures, installed vs competitor lifetimes, and wear performance over thousands of hours. MillMAX pumps are shown to outperform competitors from Weir and achieve much longer lifetimes before wet end rebuilds or replacements are needed. One 16x14-39 millMAX model exceeded 16,000 hours of operation at a nickel mine before its first suction liner replacement.

    I have two 16x14-39 millMAX on SAG mill at BHP


    Billiton Mt Keith, this is a Nickel mine and not very abrasive but
    we won this with a head to head trial against Weirs new MCR
    pump. The millMAX ran side by side to the Weir pump and went
    16 months before the suction liner failed. In the same time the
    Weir MCR had 3 complete wet end rebuilds and was stripped 7
    times for seal and shaft sleeve replacements.

    We also ran the 16x14-39 at St Ives against the Warman 16/14


    TUAH pump. In this trial we extended the wear life from 750
    hours (throat bush) and 1500 hours (complete wet end) to over
    2000 hours with the suction liner and over 4000 hours on the
    remaining wet end

    We have 16 x 14-39 millMAX pumps on Ball Mill Cyclone Feed


    and Ball Mill Discharge Applications at United Taconite in
    Eveleth, MN. They have been working great for ~ 10years. We also have 16 x 14-39(36) pumps on Rougher Tails
    service at Hibbing Taconite, also for ~ 10-years. The entire
    wet end lasts an average of 11,800 hours. We just pulled the
    first rubber suction liner from one of these pumps and it looked
    fantastic at 11,800 hours. I may have lasted 15,000 hours but
    the crew replaced it
