South Africa-based Integrated Pump Technology has been appointed as the exclusive distributor for Godwin diesel driven dewatering pumps in Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Integrated Pump Technology MD Jordan Marsh says the company’s appointment not only grants customers access to the full spectrum of Godwin dewatering pump units but also marks the introduction of the powerful Godwin HL270, the largest dewatering pump in the range, to customers in the region.

The pump is designed to tackle the challenges posed by dewatering in deeper mines as well as in high pressure water transfer applications, such as encountered in mining operations in Zambia and the DRC. With a maximum head of 300 m and a higher efficiency impeller, it offers a solution for mines operating at greater depths while minimising power consumption.

The HL270 can automatically prime to 8.5 m of suction lift from a dry start and can handle various fluids and liquids, including those with solids up to 30 mm in diameter.

It can be equipped with either automatic or manual starting/stopping options through an integral mounted control panel or optional wireless remote access, depending on the specific application.

Marsh notes that the company has extensive experience in the Copperbelt region and offers comprehensive ongoing technical support for mining operations in remote regions of Zambia and the DRC.

Another member of the Godwin range is the Godwin BD150 which can be used for everyday dewatering applications. Its versatility makes it suitable for a range of tasks in the mining industry.

“Godwin dewatering pumps are not only powerful and efficient but also cost competitive, and this allows customers access to a quality manufactured product capable of meeting demanding dewatering needs,” he says. “This affordability makes Godwin pumps an attractive option for both large-scale mining operations and smaller ventures looking to optimise their dewatering processes,” says Marsh.
