Weir introduces WARMAN MCR[2] pump for demanding mining operations. The mill circuit pump features eight patented technologies, with advances in hydraulics, wear management, serviceability and condition monitoring. UK-based mining technology company Weir has introduced the WARMAN MCR[2] mill circuit pump, designed to help mineral processing operations handle more complex ore types and greater throughput demands. The company says the new pump addresses challenges arising from tougher operating environments in the sector. Rising pressures in mineral processing can lead to greater fluctuations in equipment wear, maintenance schedules and asset condition, making it more difficult for operators to plan their campaigns. This often results in heightened uncertainty regarding production levels, maintenance and overall ownership costs. The WARMAN MCR[2] mill circuit pump incorporates eight patented technologies, combining developments in hydraulics, wear management, serviceability and condition monitoring. Weir global engineering and technology vice-president John McNulty said: "Mill circuit duties continue to evolve as operators process increasingly challenging ore bodies and look to maximise performance from existing assets. "WARMAN MCR[2] technology applies its expertise in hydraulics, materials science and digital technology to the areas of the pump that most influence wear, performance and ease of service. "Together, these advances represent a step-change in WARMAN mill circuit pump design, giving operators greater control over how they manage the asset throughout its operating life." According to Weir, the design draws on the company's long-standing experience in slurry pumping and insights gathered from a substantial installed base of mill circuit pumps globally. The WARMAN MCR[2] pump helps extend operating campaigns, simplify maintenance and improve visibility into asset condition. The new model maintains the same physical footprint as previous WARMAN mill circuit pumps, allowing for potential increases in plant throughput without significant infrastructure modifications. Field trials have taken place across three continents, exposing the pump to high-wear mill circuit environments. Weir reports that the trials demonstrated the pump can operate reliably under strenuous conditions, enabling longer and more predictable operating periods. Last month, Weir Group secured a contract to supply a new crushing circuit for Brightstar Resources' Laverton Processing Plant, part of the Goldfields gold project in Western Australia.

Weir launches WARMAN(R) MCR[2](R) next-generation pump to meet rising mill circuit demands. * Date: 27 August 2026 Weir has launched the WARMAN(R) MCR[2](R) mill circuit pump, the latest evolution in WARMAN(R) mill circuit pumping technology, developed to help mineral processing operations respond to more complex ores, higher throughput requirements and tougher operating conditions with greater control. As these pressures intensify, variability in wear, maintenance requirements and asset condition can make operating campaigns harder to plan, increasing uncertainty around production, maintenance and total cost of ownership. Developed in response, the new WARMAN(R) MCR[2](R) mill circuit pump integrates eight patented technologies across hydraulics, wear management, serviceability and condition monitoring in a single design. Drawing on Weir's decades of slurry pumping expertise and insights from the world's largest installed base of mill circuit pumps, the WARMAN(R) MCR[2](R) mill duty pump is designed to extend operating campaigns, simplify maintenance and improve visibility of asset condition. The pump retains the footprint of existing WARMAN(R) mill circuit pumps, helping support higher throughput requirements without major infrastructure changes. Field trials in high-wear mill circuit applications on three continents have validated the pump's performance under demanding operating conditions, reinforcing its role in supporting longer, more predictable operating campaigns.

NEXT condition and performance monitoring is integrated into the pump, providing operators with continuous visibility into critical health and operating parameters. These insights help identify changes in process behaviour earlier and support more consistent performance throughout the operating campaign. The pump helps customers manage total cost of ownership through longer wear life, fewer maintenance interruptions, simpler servicing, and greater use of existing infrastructure.
