TCO Calculator

5-Year TCO Calculator — Rubber Lined vs Chrome Alloy

Weir’s published global studies: <10% of pump TCO is capital + spares; ~60% is energy. Most buyers decide on the 10%. This tool shows you the other 90%.

Source framework: Mining Weekly, “More pump buyers prioritising long-term value over upfront costs” (12 Sep 2025) quoting Weir Group global studies. Energy cost model: hydraulic power P(kW) = flow × head × specific gravity ÷ (367 × efficiency). Chrome vs rubber wet-end life ratios reflect typical mining/tailings deployment averages; your specific duty point may vary. Submit via the quote form for a lot-certified project-specific model.
