Given that ProMinent Fluid Controls’ goal is to increase product efficiency and ensure safety for your customers, how has this translated in terms of product development? All of the ProMinent products are developed in-house at our factory in Germany. This ensures a high-quality product that is continuously developed. With the current focus on Industry 4.0 and remote monitoring of processes, the DFYa and DFXa offer not only control options that are currently not found on any other peristaltic pump in the market, but also the option to monitor all pumps via a cloud platform. How do the DFYa and DFXa peristaltic pump ranges meet the drive for increased efficiency and safety? The internal electronics in the pump offer a wide range of fault detection, and via the extensive range of communication options, faults and possible situations can be detected before they become a safety hazard. Are the latest products available to the African market? The products were launched in 2020 and are available to the African market, including South Africa. Already, one of the pumps

has been shipped to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with six more awaiting dispatch to a local mine, while another is earmarked for a sweets manufacturer in Johannesburg. Further to this, we have demo pumps available for testing at our warehouse in Johannesburg. What are other key defining features of the new products, and how well suited are they to the African mining market? The ProMinent peristaltic pumps have been on the market for years and have an extremely good reputation for quality and reliability. Control for the pumps is new and offers customers better functionality than just the standard on-off pumps that are on the market. Other key features on the DFYa and DFXa are: Adjustment of the metering rate directly in l/h or gph. Simple hose change. Metering abrasive fluids, possibly containing particles. No problems with very gaseous media or air locks. Suitable for viscosities of up to 50 000 mPas. Sole contact with media in the hose. ■
