Southern Africa’s summer season rainfall areas, where much of the mining trade is located, face a seasonal danger from heavy rains – and have to be ready to rapidly dewater sites.
Now is due to this fact a great time to conduct a full verify on all pump installations, based on Justin Bawden, internal sales at Integrated Pump Technology. As the southern African distributor of Grindex submersible dewatering pumps, the corporate is devoted to helping prospects prevent flooding and disruption.
“Weather patterns have become much less predictable, with some areas experiencing drought circumstances for prolonged periods,” says Bawden. เกจวัดแรงดันน้ำราคา of the nation may experience heavy rainfall consistently that creates nice demand for pumps, whereas other areas may see extra arid conditions by which case pumps go unutilised for some time.”
He stresses the significance of pumps being checked for efficiency and reliability, as they want to typically be put into service at short discover. Grindex pumps are well-known for their purposes in dewatering as nicely as sludge and slurry pumping. One of his considerations is that some pumps are left unused in applications the place strong particles can clog up elements by way of sedimentation.
“In a muddy application, for instance, particles should not be allowed to thicken round a pump over a period of months,” he says. “If a pump is restarted underneath these conditions, it could lead to the impeller shaft snapping.”
He urges pump owners to take stock of which pumps they’ve available at the various dewatering ‘hot-spots’ round their sites. By re-assessing the calls for that the rainy season will soon place on every of these points, they may check that the pump capacities are properly aligned.
“Our Grindex agents are strategically located across the country, and across border with many undertaking regular web site visits,” he says. “This helps customers to ensure the proper pumps are in place, and to identify any drawback areas which may want extra consideration.”
It is important to grasp the key aspects of every pumping utility – from the required flow fee and vertical head to the pipeline and the nature of the material being pumped. This makes for price efficient choices that provide the required obligation when heavy rains arrive, he says.
The Grindex submersible pump vary consists of smaller units up to 10 kW that may be easily carried by a single person. For lots of the bigger models from 18 kW and up, Integrated Pump Technology also can provide trolleys that make mobility of the units easier for these on site tasked with installation of those units.
