Truflo Pumps: Powering PH Mining Operations

By: Philippine Resources December 18, 2025

As one of the world's most mineralised nations, with an estimated USD 1 trillion in untapped reserves, mining operations across the Philippines face a consistent challenge — effective water management.

Whether deep underground or in expansive open-pit operations, managing water efficiently can make the difference between operational success and costly downtime.

Truflo Pumps has built its reputation over more than 35 years by understanding exactly what mining operations need when it comes to dewatering solutions. For mines developing their resources, reliable pumping systems are more than just equipment — they are critical infrastructure.

Underground Mining Excellence

Underground mining environments present unique challenges and demand specialised dewatering systems.

Truflo Pumps provides purpose-engineered underground mining pumps designed to handle the unique challenges of subsurface operations — HeliFlo helical rotor pumps, Jumbo Face Pumps, Explosion Proof submersible pumps, High Lift bottom electric pump stations, and Fishtank pumping systems.

Each pump type addresses specific underground mining requirements, from hypersaline water conditions to explosive atmosphere safety, ensuring your operation maintains productivity while meeting the highest safety and environmental standards.

HeliFlo helical rotor pumps are heavy-duty positive displacement pumps designed for harsh hypersaline water. They can handle high solids content and abrasive particles, and require minimal maintenance due to their robust design. These innovative pumps deliver consistent performance where other pumps may struggle with varying water conditions and high mineral content.

Truflo Pumps’ Jumbo Face Pumps feature an open impeller that allows the pump to pass shotcrete fibres and drilling fines. Superior engineering — including hard metal parts, auto-prime, and dry-run mechanical seals — delivers approximately 80% lower cost of ownership than conventional submersibles.

The Jumbo Face Pumps also provide safer operating features than standard pumps — the electric motor is located away from the water, there is no electric cable that can be damaged in front of the pump while drilling, and heavy pumps do not need to be lifted — only the light suction hose.

Truflo Pumps also offers a range of submersible pumps designed and engineered to meet the strictest safety standards for hazardous environments — moving water efficiently while keeping workers safe.

World-Class Solutions for Open-Pit Operations

The company's expertise extends to open-pit mining operations, where scale and reliability are paramount. Truflo Pumps designs and builds bespoke industrial-strength wet ends and complete pumping systems that handle the harsh environment of open-cut mining.

Whether it's diesel-powered pump sets for remote locations, electric systems for established sites, or auto-prime pumps for varying conditions, Truflo Pumps’ world-class equipment is backed by engineering expertise and local support. Their pump sets are available in several configurations — skid, pontoon, or trailer-mounted.

Partnership Approach

What sets Truflo Pumps apart is their partnership approach, designing solutions tailored to Philippine-specific site conditions. Working with Philippine-based Power Systems Inc. ensures that pumps, parts, maintenance, and support are readily available, minimising downtime and maximising operational efficiency.

For Philippine mining operations looking to optimise their dewatering performance — whether underground or across open-pit sites — Truflo Pumps delivers the engineering excellence, product range, and support services that world-class mining demands.
