The self balancing multistage pump by virtue of it's design completely eliminates any of the threats posed by axial thrust.
High Lift, High Volume - Multi-stage Clear Water Pumps
The Grifo Self Balancing multi-stage centrifugal pump units are suitable for pumping clear water at a maximum temperature of 40°C. They represent a major advance in high lift multi-stage pump technology and are designed to meet the stringent demands of modern day mine dewatering methods. Scamont Engineering manufactures four different pump models for effective operation under varying conditions.
GSB250
Operates at 1490 rpm, pumping to heads of 1 500 metres at a volumetric output of 240 litres per second.
GSB200
Operates at 1490 rpm, pumping to heads of 1 330 metres at a volumetric output of 120 litres per second.
GSB 150
Operates at 1490 rpm, pumping to heads of 650 metres at a volumetric output of 60 litres per second.
GSB 150
Operates at 2980 rpm, pumping to heads of 2 100 metres at a volumetric output of 105 litres per second.
The pump units are robustly constructed to withstand the harshest mining environments, and incorporate modern hydraulic design principles.
Conventional balancing discs and the associated maintenance problems are completely excluded by fitment of opposing impellers on either side of the centre casing section which eliminate hydraulic thrust.
Spun cast bronze impellers ensure mechanical and metallurgical integrity.
