Weir secures major contract to supply WARMAN® pumps for Tibet Plateau copper mine expansion

The scope of supply includes two WARMAN® MCR® 450 cyclone feed pumps and nine WARMAN® AHPP 20/18 tailings transport pumps, which will be deployed in the grinding circuit and tailings facilities. Weir's equipment will operate in the extreme high-altitude environment of China's second-largest copper mine, playing a critical role in ensuring operational efficiency.

Weir won the contract based on its total cost of ownership advantage, driven by the proven performance, durability, and lifecycle value of its products. The endorsement from China ENFI Engineering Corporation (China Nonferrous Engineering and Research Institute, "ENFI"), along with the customer's prior successful experience with WARMAN® pumps, also influenced this decision. The WARMAN® pumps, capable of effective operation at altitudes up to 5,118 meters, feature advanced wear-resistant technology designed to maximize uptime, extend service life, and reduce maintenance needs. Weir will provide end-to-end lifecycle support covering commissioning, startup, and ongoing operations, led by its team of expert engineers.

Jack Wang, Sales Director of Weir China, stated that high-altitude mining environments impose extremely demanding requirements on equipment, particularly under extreme cold and low-oxygen conditions. The WARMAN® pump solution is specifically designed to maintain stable performance under such conditions while helping to reduce maintenance and lifecycle costs. This contract reflects the customer's confidence in Weir, bolstered by ENFI's endorsement and the customer's proven track record with WARMAN® pumps. Combined with end-to-end lifecycle support, Weir is helping to ensure reliable, economical, and stable performance throughout the project's entire lifecycle.
