Brubin leads the way in sustainable pumps

4th Quarter 2016 Shaft power components

Represented locally through Letaba Pumps, Brubin offers the unique T Series pump range, which is 100% manufactured in South Africa, and is mainly used in chemical and mineral processing plants, as well as where health, safety and environmental considerations are important.

The T Series is an armoured high performance magnetic drive pump fitted with replaceable liners in PVDF and ETFE materials. These are applied mainly in process applications that require a completely leak-free design with a high level of corrosion resistance. The T Series offers a seal-less design, replaceable liners, SIC bearing bushes and a non-metallic reinforced rear casting. The T51-T57 Series is used for medium flow and medium head, while the T47 Series is used to achieve low flow and high head. Further, the T Series is more economically priced relative to imported products and has a low cost of ownership. “Because of its competitive price and reliability, we are the preferred supplier at Sasol and Denel for this unique series,” says Brubin general manager, Hannes Liebenberg.

He adds that the pumps in the T Series use liner material in PVDF and ETFE for reduced maintenance costs. There is therefore no need for end-user declarations or licences. This is also beneficial for the end-users, as they simply need to replace the moulded liner once damaged. This is much more cost-effective. Brubin Pumps is ISO 9001 2008 accredited by TUV and the company also manufactures the BMC Series in complete stainless steel.
