Zambia’s Copperbelt is witnessing a surge in demand for advanced dewatering solutions.
Integrated Pump Technology’s Grindex submersible pumps are gaining traction among mining companies in the region. The Grindex Bravo 400, a 14kW model, has proven effective in tackling severe sludge accumulation, addressing critical challenges faced by miners.
Grindex Pumps Revolutionizing Mining Operations
Integrated Pump Technology is making significant strides in Zambia’s mining sector with its robust Grindex submersible pumps. These pumps are specifically designed for challenging dewatering and slurry conditions, making them ideal for the Copperbelt region.
Alfred Kelsey, Sales Manager at Integrated Pump Technology, emphasizes the success of the Grindex Bravo 400 in desludging underground dams. Its hard-iron construction and integrated agitator allow it to efficiently handle high-density slurry, a task conventional pumps struggle with.
Zambia: Key figures on Grindex Pump Performance
- 14kW Grindex Bravo 400
- IP68 ingress protection for operation at depths of up to 20 metres
- Models range from 2.2kW to 90kW
Enhanced Features for Mining Efficiency
The Grindex pumps offer a range of features that enhance their performance in abrasive environments. Customers can choose from nitrile rubber or polyurethane linings, with internal polyurethane inserts being a popular option for added durability.
The stainless-steel construction of these pumps reduces weight, facilitating easier transport and handling in underground operations. Additionally, the split handle design allows for two-person carrying, further enhancing portability.
Proactive Support and Local Inventory Management
- Rapid response capability for repairs and support
- Close partnership with local distributor IES for skilled technicians
- Strategic management of local inventory levels for essential spare parts
Integrated Pump Technology is transforming dewatering operations in Zambia’s Copperbelt with innovative Grindex pumps.
