Mining and Quarrying
Delivering pumping solutions at every stage of your process, from dewatering, through to discharge. Our expertise, equipment, parts and services support your continued growth and minimise downtime.
Innovation in Hydrology: Pumps and fluids handling for quarries and mines
Quarries are the foundation of the UK’s construction, infrastructure, and manufacturing sectors, supplying essential raw materials that power economic growth and sustainability across our entire society. From building homes and roads, to supporting renewable energy projects, the quarrying industry plays a vital role in keeping the UK moving.
We understand that reliability is key in demanding environments like quarries and mines. We offer proven pumping solutions designed to keep operations running smoothly, even in the toughest conditions. Whether you need pumps for handling abrasive fluids and solids-laden slurries, tailings management, process feed pumps, or long-lasting, more efficient mine and quarry water systems, our experienced team can engineer a tailored solution to meet your needs.
Maximize efficiency for your quarry operations
Operating a quarry comes with unique challenges—from meeting customer demands to managing running costs and ensuring site and environmental safety. That’s where we come in. Our comprehensive range of equipment, parts, and support services is designed to:
- Boost productivity – Optimised solutions to keep production running smoothly
- Lower cost-per-ton – Reliable, efficient equipment to reduce operational expenses
- Enhance safety – Industry-leading technology to help mitigate risks
- Minimise downtime – Expert support, training and rapid response to keep you in production
- Reduce TOTEX (Total Expenditure) – Improve wear-life, increase energy efficiency, reduce maintenance, and maximise asset lifetime through better engineering
Applications – Where Our Pumps Are Utilised
Mining, quarrying, and site operations demand heavy-duty pumps built to withstand abrasive slurries, corrosive chemicals, and harsh environmental conditions. We specialise in reliable, efficient, high-performance pumping solutions for a wide range of mining and quarry applications.
Common Applications We Solve:
- Dewatering & Drainage – Removal and treatment of excess water to keep operations running smoothly.
- Contaminated Minewater Management – Safe handling of mine-water and quarry water impoundment and discharge.
- Abrasive Slurry Transfer – Designed to pump highly abrasive media with minimal wear.
- Process pump systems – Process pumps for wash-plant and filter press feeds
- Mineral Separation and Concentration – Flow and pressure-controlled pumps, and cyclone separators for mineral beneficiation
- Water Treatment & pH Adjustment – Essential for environmental compliance and product quality. Automated treatment and data recording.
- Aggregate & Mineral Washing – Supporting material processing and quality control.
- Raw Water Supply and Grey Water Recycling – Providing essential water for aggregate washing, truck washdowns/wheel washers, dust suppression and more.

Mining Equipment Product Range
At Atlantic Pumps, we deliver robust, high-performance quarry water transfer and slurry handling solutions engineered to withstand the toughest industrial environments.
Whether your in-house engineers want a single pump for a specific mining duty, or a custom-built quarry pumping system designed and fabricated for you, our well-trained and experienced team is ready to help.
With the key focus on meeting the needs of your duty and process outcomes, Atlantic Pumps works with many other manufacturers of quality pumps and associated mining equipment. Putting our client’s best interests at the heart of our design and specification conversations, we are happy to incorporate a range of brands where they are inter-operable and beneficial.
Many clients look to us to design, manufacture, install and commission a complete built-up package, while in other projects we work closely together with other specialist contractors to achieve the end-user’s goal.
Centrifugal Mining Pumps
SlurryPro – the Slurry Pump built for mines and quarries
- Heavy-duty centrifugal slurry pumps designed for extreme durability and superior abrasion resistance.
- Built with high tolerances to extend lifespan and reduce maintenance costs.
- Horizontal and vertical models, with many configurations available to best match performance and lifetime goals for the application.
Audex – Submersible pumps designed for mine and quarry duty
