KEEPING UP WITH THE CURVE The new Curve D150 dewatering pump, developed by Pump and Abrasion Technologies, allows for efficient water management on mines
Local pump original-equipment manufacturer Pump & Abrasion Technologies launched its Curve D150 dewatering pump in May, which has been designed to improve water handling in mining operations.
In the competitive realm of mining operations, efficient water management is not just an operational necessity, Pump & Abrasion states that it is a strategic asset – a concept the company says it understands as part of the critical nature of effective dewatering.
The new Curve D150 dewatering pump offers advanced sealing, which in turn reduces maintenance.
Pump & Abrasion posits that the Curve D150 is designed to drive down costs and boost efficiency in challenging environments.
“Understanding the challenges of wear and tear in the impeller eye, the Curve D150 incorporates dual axial and vertical sealing surfaces,” the company explains.
This design innovation, states Pump & Abrasion, significantly curtails recirculation within the pump, boosting efficiency and extending wear life.
Such features ensure prolonged operational intervals and reliability.
The Curve D150 includes modern design features such as fully profiled vane profiles featuring incidence angled vanes, which efficiently direct flow into the impeller, promoting even wear distribution and enhancing overall performance.
Each pump is equipped with a hardened shaft sleeve, customised for the use of high-specification packing that extends maintenance intervals by resisting wear and tear more effectively than traditional materials.
Pump & Abrasion stresses that it prioritises not only the performance, but also the integration and maintenance of its solutions. As an example, the Curve D150 features additional lifting points that simplify the pump assembly process.
Its compatibility with common high-pressure dewatering mechanical ends ensures it can be integrated into existing systems with less fuss, aligning with Pump & Abrasion’s commitment to seamless upgrades and operational quality.
The company offers comprehensive after-sales support on a 24/7 and 365 days-a-year basis, ensuring that help is always at hand, no matter where clients are located.
