UBMERSIBLE PUMP sales to mines worldwide are increasing at the expense of alternative designs because of the advantages of space saving, ease of installation due to no pump house required, the elimination of the need to prime the pumps and savings. Among the submersible pump options available locally is the horizontally mounted model SV submersible pump from the EIM Electric Company of Japan. Sold and supported in South Africa by Mather + Platt, the SV pump has the advantages of high efficiency, heavy construction for long service life, low maintenance and an impeller that resists clogging. An operational duty equivalent to a standard centrifugal machine makes the EIM SV suitable for transferring fines, coal chip slurries and similar media, while the pump’s
non-clogging vortex impeller ensures that solids travel through the vortex passage rather than through the impeller, increasing the impeller’s wear life. Double mechanical seals protect the motor from the slurry being pumped. The pumps are explosion proofed for mining applications and are suitable for environments up to 40°C. Technical specifications include a power rating of 5.5 kW to 22 kW, a total head from 10 m to 20 m, a discharge of between 0.9 and 2.0 m3/min, and a voltage from 200 V to 1 100 V.
