Pumps meet East African demand
In a move to expand its regional stockholding and infrastructure, Integrated Pump Technology
has delivered two Godwin pumps to a gold mine in north-western Tanzania, supported by local distributor Pinnacle Engineering Solutions. It is also gearing up to increase its stock of Godwin and Grindex pumps and components, ensuring rapid availability for mining customers in the area.
The two Godwin HL250M Dri-Prime diesel-driven pumps were selected to transfer water to a holding dam at a rate of 550 m³ an hour over a 70 m discharge head, with the potential to deliver up to 790 m³ an hour at the same head if conditions require.
“The mine needed a solution that could scale up quickly without adding infrastructure or equipment, and the Godwin pumps provide exactly that. Given the acidic nature of the underground water at this site, we recommended a stainless steel configuration for the pump’s internal components,” explains Integrated Pump Technology Godwin product manager JD Nel.
The company carried out a comprehensive assessment of the dewatering system to determine the most effective long-term solution for the mine. The final recommendation included the Godwin HL250M diesel-driven pump, complemented by high performance, high head Grindex electric submersible units.
The pump features a high pressure oil bath mechanical seal system, which allows for prolonged dry running while continuously self-priming and repriming. Nel notes that this is a critical advantage in ongoing dewatering operations.
