New Wilden FIT Pumps for mining applications
November 2016
Valves, Actuators & Pump Control
The new FIT Pump range is an upgraded series of pumps, which have been designed with the same dimensions as the existing Wilden Original Series. “This new FIT Pump together with Wilden’s ProFlo Shift air valve technology utilises less air to achieve the same results, therefore saving on energy costs. Upgrades from the older series include better performance and efficiency,” says Letaba Industrial pumps general manager, Ian Duke.
Duke says the FIT pump range also introduces a robust bolted design, which is stronger and eliminates possible containment issues. “Our Original pumps are clamp banded, whereas the FIT pump is bolted. This means it is easier to align during assembly and with less chance of leaks occurring from critical areas.
“By matching the dimensions of the existing range, the FIT Pumps can eliminate the need to alter any existing pipe work and fits in perfectly on the same footprint as the Original clamped series,” says Duke. “Companies that prefer this bolted design now have the option of replacing their clamped series pumps with the FIT option as and when required.”
Wilden pumps excel in transferring difficult to pump fluids with a viscous, abrasive and corrosive nature. Due to their design and being air powered, they are inherently safe to operate in explosive environments and eliminate all the costly electrical components needed when operating other electric driven pumps.
Duke notes that the Wilden range in particular is well known in the mining industry. “These are specifically configured for rough applications, and are strong and reliable,” he concludes.
