Weir has successfully completed the installation of China's largest mill circuit slurry pump at a copper mining operation in Tibet, involving six WARMAN® MCR® 650 and two MCR® 750 pumps. The installation was conducted at around 5,300 meters altitude, presenting challenges such as low oxygen levels and freezing temperatures.

Despite these conditions, Weir's team executed the project on schedule, focusing on safety and reliability. The project is viewed as a significant milestone for Weir in China, emphasizing the importance of high-capacity pumps in modern mining amid declining ore grades. The successful completion highlights Weir's expertise in delivering solutions in challenging environments.
