New pumps from Wilden

4th Quarter 2016 Shaft power components

Letaba Group’s new FIT pump range from Wilden is an upgraded series which has been designed with the same dimensions as the existing Wilden series. Together with Wilden’s Pro –Flo Shift air valve technology the pumps utilise less air to achieve the same results, therefore saving on energy costs. The FIT range also has a robust bolted design, which is stronger than the previous clamp-based pumps and eliminates possible containment issues as it is easier to align during assembly and has less chance of leaks occurring from critical areas.

By matching the dimensions of the existing range, Wilden has eliminated the need to alter any existing pipe work and the new range fits in perfectly on the same footprint as the original clamped series. Wilden pumps excel in transferring difficult to pump fluids of a viscous, abrasive and corrosive nature. Being air operated, they are inherently safe to operate in explosive environments and eliminate all the costly electrical components needed when operating other electric driven pumps.

The Wilden Stallion range is well known in the mining industry. These pumps are specifically configured for rough applications,and are strong and reliable. They provide miners with durability, portability, and ease of maintenance. They can handle large solids up to 25 mm and are equipped with collapsible handles for ease of handling. The Stallion Range also has a shock absorbing base which protects the inlet housings from unwanted damage in harsh underground environments.
