CASE STUDY: Jet-Pump Fluidizer Technology Across mining operations, one challenge is both universal and notoriously costly: the ongoing build-up of compacted slimes and solids in process-water dams. Over time, these dams accumulate dense layers of sediment on the floor, material that becomes so compacted that conventional pumps can’t move it. As the sludge layer grows, … Read More
CASE STUDY: Knife gate valve seal rings THE PROBLEM: One of our mining clients was facing a recurring and costly issue with their knife gate valves operating in a highly abrasive slurry environment. The standard seal rings within these valves were wearing out prematurely due to the coarse nature of the slurry. This rapid wear … Read More
Know Your Fill. Plan with Confidence. Introducing the Aranzu Backfill Monitoring System In underground mining, backfill strength isn’t just important, it’s critical. Yet, without reliable in-situ data, operators are often forced to take a conservative approach, extending curing times and delaying production in key areas. At Aranzu, we’re changing that. Our Backfill Monitoring System provides real-time, high-resolution data on stope … Read More
Real-Time Flow Data. Anywhere You Need It. Introducing the Aranzu Mobile Battery Powered Flow Meter Skid In dynamic mining environments, flexibility is critical, especially when monitoring slurry or water flow to changing stopes or temporary lines. Traditional flow meters, tied to fixed infrastructure and wired power, simply can’t keep up. That’s why Aranzu has developed … Read More
Eliminate Downtime. Protect Your Pumps. With the Aranzu Mobile Gland Service Water Skid. In remote mining environments, centrifugal pump performance hinges on one often-overlooked detail: a reliable gland service water supply. Without it, pump gland seals fail and unplanned downtime become inevitable. Inconsistent water pressure and poor-quality installations only compound the issue, putting production and … Read More

Our Aranzu Junior Engineer will ideally live in Cape Town already and will be involved in the design and development of mining process equipment and … Read More
In mining operations, the movement of haul trucks between different zones can unintentionally carry more than just payload. Cross-contamination – whether of ore, concentrate, or hazardous materials – poses a serious risk to process integrity, safety, and compliance. At Aranzu, we’ve developed a solution that stops contamination at the source. Our Automated Truck Wash Station … Read More
Cemented Paste Backfill (CPB) and high-density slurry transport systems are essential to modern underground mining—but they also bring a serious operational challenge: pipeline blockages caused by settled solids, thickened slurry, or premature setting of paste. Once blocked, paste lines are notoriously difficult (and costly) to clean, often requiring mechanical removal, line replacement, or even re-drilling. … Read More
