ADVERTORIAL PUMPED UP TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF MINING

By offering a wide variety of products from one source, Busch Africa has removed the costly and onerous burden of sourcing vacuum pumps, blowers and compressors from multiple suppliers.

Mining companies have realised that sourcing products and services from one supplier is more cost effective and improves efficiency in their operations, as they seek practical ways of coping with a generally sluggish industry. And, as a worldwide provider of vacuum pumps (including liquid ring vacuum pumps), blowers and compressors, Busch Africa is addressing this demand through a commitment to meeting customers’ needs right along the value chain – from procurement through to after-sales service. Busch Africa is part of the international Busch Group of companies established in Germany over 50 years ago, and one of the world’s leading providers of vacuum pumps and systems to a wide range of industries. With its Africa head office in Johannesburg, supported by sales and service branches in Cape Town, Durban, Accra and Kenya and a network of representatives across the continent, Busch Africa has the local presence needed to meet the demands of the mining industry at all times, providing vacuum pumps and service in all African countries.

Fully-geared

Explaining how Busch Africa is always able to accommodate large order volumes from mining companies, Reeza Hoosen, Technical Director of Busch Africa, explains: “We are able to supply most vacuum pumps, blowers, compressors and spare part kits ex-stock, and are fully geared to service and overhaul pumps in our workshop, or to carry out service work and commissioning at the customer’s site. We pride ourselves on being able to offer service on our own products as well as on any competitor products.”

The new Dolphin LG/LR series of liquid ring vacuum pumps has now been released for sale.

Release of the new Dolphin LG/LR series expands the Dolphin portfolio to a pumping speed of 26,800m3 /h. The Dolphin LG/LR range is a series of eight robust and reliable single-stage liquid ring vacuum pumps in a base plate design, for 160 mbar and 33 mbar end pressure respectively.

Their proven operating principle enables these high-capacity vacuum pumps to be used in many industrial sectors, including power plants, sugar production as well as the pulp and paper industry. Even demanding applications, such as the discharge of particle-laden gases or highly saturated vapours, can easily be carried out. The Dolphin series encompasses decades of experience in the manufacture and use of liquid ring vacuum pumps, offering perfect vacuum generation in challenging environments. The precisely dimensioned range of sizes, extensive range of accessories and choice of construction materials, including cast iron (EN-GJL-200) and 316 grade stainless steel, allow these vacuum pumps to be perfectly adapted to many different industrial processes. Due to their modular design, various assemblies are possible to suit many applications.
