Abstract: Mining The article discusses the main failure causes of centrifugal pumps used in the mine dewatering plants. The factors causing intensive wear of the impellers used in centrifugal pumps of the CNS-33-66...330 type are analysed, as well as the ways of increasing their serviceability. The gas dynamic cold spraying is recognized as the most promising and efficient method of applying functional coatings, which makes it possible to improve the condition of the surface layer and eliminate surface defects of the initial impeller blanks, which have a significant impact on the serviceability of the parts. The main research trends are outlined in the studied area, and practical recommendations are provided on using the gas dynamic cold spraying methid both in the pump manufacturing process and in their overhaul. It is shown that one of the promising trends in development the gas dynamic cold spraying applications is the creation of multilayer coatings on the impeller blades based on compositions of various metal-ceramic powders. Along with the hardening treatment, this combination will allow to provide the impellers with a set of necessary functional characteristics for the hydro-abrasive wear conditions. technological process as a sequence of changing the natural state of the Earth's subsoil to obtain a certain quantity and quality of mineral products is characterized by departures from the specified normative parameter values, which is due to causes of different nature. Most of these causes are man-made, anf they are created during the performance of specific process operations by the personnel. The article presents an original approach to managing the control over the technological process parameters in a coal strip mine. To reduce the magnitude and probability of the process departures from the normative values, the authors propose to create technical and organizational control loops. Each loop is a closed chain of technical means and organizational tools, which secures up-keeping of the normative technological process state. Production risk is proposed to be used as a criterion to assess the efficiency of the control loops. The methodology allowing to calculate the risk is described. The results of the contour approach application to the technological process control at the Solntsevsky coal strip mine are presented.
