Hevvy/Toyo Pumps

Hevvy Pumps is the evolution of Toyo Pumps N.A. In Hevvy Pumps we’ve created a company that embodies the values of imagination and continuous improvement.

Hevvy pushes the limits of design to propel the future and challenge the industry to wake up and challenge itself to be more reliable, efficient and accountable to its customers and the environment. It’s an exciting new future when “Heritage” and “Imagination” meet for the best of both worlds.

A house's siding is a less visible slurry-handling application.
At a major fibre cement manufacturer in the southeastern United States, Hevvy/Toyo HNC cantilever pumps handle fibre cement slurry in the facility’s general sumps.

The finished boards are used on building exteriors. In the manufacturing facility, our pumps handle a very different form of that material: a slurry of cement and cellulose fibres.
“General sump” describes where the material collects, but says little about what the pump actually needs to handle. The sump contents are what make the application specific.

This is one example of slurry pumping beyond mining and mineral processing, and why understanding the material remains central to understanding the job.

Have a sump application that needs a closer look? Talk with our team about the material you’re handling and your operating requirements.

A corrosive liquid is one challenge. Add abrasive solids, and material selection gets more complicated.

Solids can strip away surface layers, exposing fresh metal to further chemical attack. That interaction means you need to consider corrosion and erosion together when selecting materials for the application.

So what should you prioritize when the liquid attacks the metal and the solids keep wearing it away?

In “What about Corrosion & Chemicals?”, our team explores that question, from clear liquids to concentrated slurries, with a dredging application involving discarded lead-acid batteries and sulphuric acid.

It’s a useful look at the trade-offs between corrosion resistance, erosion resistance, service life, and cost.

Day two at IMARC in Sydney, and there’s plenty to talk pumps about.

Our team has been making the most of the opportunity to discuss pumping challenges and the solutions behind them. Those conversations are where the application details come out: what’s being pumped, how the system operates, and what the equipment needs to handle.

We’ve also brought our DPF pump along. Seeing the equipment up close gives those discussions a useful starting point, with our team right there to get into the details.

If you’re at IMARC, stop by booth G30 to meet the team and take a closer look. Bring your pumping questions.

IMARC 2026 is just around the corner, and the Hevvy team is heading to Sydney!

From abrasive slurries to demanding operating conditions, mining presents some of the toughest challenges in pumping. Addressing them takes more than heavy-duty equipment. It takes a thorough understanding of the application and the engineering behind it.

At Booth G30, our team will be showcasing Hevvy's slurry pumping solutions and discussing how innovative engineering, application-specific designs, and decades of industry experience can help mining operations improve performance and reduce total cost of ownership.

Whether you're evaluating a new application, looking to optimize an existing pumping system, or exploring new technologies, we'd welcome the opportunity to connect.

We look forward to seeing you there!

A pump curve might look like a few lines on a screen. But there's a lot of engineering behind those lines.

During centrifugal pump performance testing, measurements such as flow, head, and power input are collected at different operating conditions. These measurements help establish performance curves and determine pump efficiency.

And here's where things get interesting.

Two operating points on the same head-versus-flow curve can have different efficiencies. One may be closer to the Best Efficiency Point (BEP), where the pump achieves its maximum efficiency for a given configuration and operating conditions, while the other may be farther away.

Both points may satisfy different system requirements, but that doesn't mean the pump operates equally efficiently at each one.

That's why reading a pump curve is about more than checking flow and head. It's about understanding where the operating point falls on the curve and what that means for pump performance.

The curves tell the story. The test data help us understand it.

Imagine having to deal with a pump breakdown 75 feet below ground. Now imagine doing that regularly.

That was the reality at a coal-handling terminal in Alabama, where submersible pumps were handling abrasive coal slurry with solids concentrations reaching 40% by weight. Wear was taking its toll, and every maintenance intervention brought another challenge: accessing equipment deep below ground.

Rather than replacing the pumps with more of the same, the terminal took a different approach.

Our HNC true cantilever pump changed how the team could maintain the equipment, eliminating the need for submerged servicing and making inspections and repairs more accessible.

The result? Less downtime, lower life-cycle costs, improved safety, and eventually a broader pump replacement program.

Sometimes the smartest engineering decision isn't another repair. It's rethinking the setup altogether.

Dealing with a slurry application that's giving your maintenance team a hard time? Maybe it's time to rethink the approach, not just replace the pump.

More flow sounds like a good thing. Until your pump's suction requirements start climbing.

Here's something worth paying attention to on a centrifugal pump curve: NPSHR (Net Positive Suction Head Required) doesn't necessarily increase gradually as flow rises. Once you move beyond the mid-range of the curve, it can climb sharply.

Why? As the impeller moves more liquid per unit of time, the pump needs sufficient suction head to keep that flow entering the impeller. Higher rotational speeds can increase that requirement further.

And here's where it matters: your system needs to provide enough NPSHA (Net Positive Suction Head Available) to meet the pump's requirements, with an appropriate margin. Otherwise, pushing for more flow could bring you closer to cavitation rather than better performance.
More flow isn't automatically better if the suction conditions can't support it.

We break down the relationship between flow, impeller speed, and NPSHR in our Pump School:

At Hevvy/Toyo Pumps, quality control doesn’t start when a finished pump reaches the test area. It starts much earlier.

We inspect components throughout the manufacturing process, check assemblies, and test finished equipment before it leaves our shop. Because in slurry service, a detail that seems small during manufacturing can become a much bigger problem once the pump is in the field.

That’s what quality control is about: catching those details here, where we can fix them,, not later, when someone is trying to keep an operation running.

Our ISO 9001:2015 certification provides a framework for that process, but the certificate isn’t the point. The point is having consistent systems, documentation and checks behind the equipment we build.

A lot happens between an engineering drawing and a pump leaving our shop. Doing it right means paying attention to every step.

Australia knows tough mining. So do we. 🇦🇺

This October, Hevvy/Toyo Pumps is heading to Sydney for IMARC 2026.

We’re bringing decades of slurry-pumping experience, engineering know-how, and equipment built for the applications that make mining difficult — from process sumps and dewatering to tailings, backfill and everything in between.

If you’re dealing with abrasive slurries, high solids, difficult sumps or a pumping application that refuses to behave, come talk pumps with us.

The world’s toughest mines demand tougher pumps.

Building a good slurry pump is one thing. Understanding what that pump will handle is another.

Every application brings its own set of conditions: solids, chemistry, operating point, wear, system layout, maintenance requirements and sometimes a few surprises that weren't on the original drawing.

That's where our engineering team comes in. Sometimes the right answer is one of our proven pump designs. Other times, the application calls for different materials, a design modification, or an engineered solution built around a very specific challenge.

Either way, the process starts in the same place: understanding the application before deciding what the pump needs to be.

We've spent decades solving slurry problems, and the hardest ones are still the most interesting. That's the kind of work we like.
