A wear-levelling apparatus () for a cyclone () includes: an upper section () defining an upper portion of a frusto-conical channel configured to receive material for delivery to a lower portion of the channel; a bearing assembly connected to the upper section; and a lower section () coupled to the upper section by the bearing assembly to permit rotation of the lower section about an axis of the channel; the lower section defining a lower portion of the channel configured to receive the material from the upper portion for discharge toward an outlet () of the cyclone.

Wear-levelling apparatus for cyclones

A pump support assembly includes a skid having a top surface and a bottom surface configured to movably rest on the ground; and a frame for supporting a pump, the frame having a main body, and two wings extending from opposite sides of the main body substantially perpendicular to the main body, the frame supported on the top surface of the skid and connected to the skid at an end of one of the wings to isolate a pump support surface of the frame from deformations of the skid.

Mobile pump house

A hose is provided, including: a liner having a channel extending between opposing open ends; a reinforcing member surrounding the liner; and a plurality of spaced apart wrapped stiffening members surrounding the reinforcing member.

Gimbal hose

According to embodiments described in the specification, a pumping system for use in a tailings pond is provided. The pumping system comprises a pump support and at least one mooring element coupled to the pump support. The at least one mooring element has an extended position for fixing the pump support to a bed of the tailings pond, and a retracted position for permitting movement of the pump support towards a shore of the tailings pond. The at least one mooring element is configured for transitioning from the extended position to the retracted position when a distance from the shore to the pump support exceeds a threshold as a result of a change to tailings pond geometry, and for returning to the extended position following movement of the pump support to reduce the distance below the threshold.
