Mefcor: Switches and pumps endorsed by Carroll Technologies

Mefcor is a trusted manufacturer of switches and pumps for the mining, tunnelling and natural gas industries. Over the years, Mefcor has built a portfolio of high-quality products that are distributed to mines across the US.

The company’s concise portfolio of expertly designed switches and pumping solutions consist of:

• Natural gas pumps 
• Mining borehole pumps 
• Belt switches
• Tipple belt switches
• Conveyer-powered dewatering pumps
• Spillage protection
• Solid-state belt wetters
• Dust suppression water control valves
• Solid-state chute spray actuators
• Material level control switch
• Cable-operated conveyer safety switch
• Permissible warning lights

Belt switches are designed to be robust and easy to install on-site. The CS2100 belt switch has a simple mechanism and rigid structure that fits almost any type of belt size. Mefcor’s spillage protection is rugged and erosion-proof to prevent spillages in locations such as transfer areas and bins, cutting cleaning expenses and decreasing downtime.

Mefcor’s pumping solutions are simple, clog-resistant designs for difficult dewatering applications. Its nylon-bristled drive wheel taps do not require a power source, significantly reducing costs associated with running electrical pumps.

The effective, easy-to-install automatic dust suppression control valve allows water to flow only when the conveyor is loaded and moving, or anytime conveyor is moving, depending on user requirements.

“We have been distributing for Mefcor for decades,” explains Carroll Technologies president Allen Haywood. “They’re a small company that offer great products that Carroll can also service and repair.”

In addition to factory-authorised repair and certification, customers who purchase Mefcor products such as natural gas pumps or mining borehole pumps through Carroll Technologies also gain access to 24/7 technical support, rapid response to mining emergencies, and a widely stocked spare parts inventory.
