The stainless steel hydraulic wet
end has proven itself over the
years as an option that could be
added to the standard cast iron
Mega pump. Now the stainless
steel Mega is completed by
even offering the stator
housing in stainless steel.
“When we’re out in the field
and visiting customers that for
many years make do with less
than perfect coated solutions, we
anticipate that the new Mega Inox
will solve a lot of their headache
applications,” says Peter Uvemo, Regional
Manager Grindex.
The most popular BBA Pumps products from
the dry self-priming BA series are now also
available in stainless steel 316. These pumps are
ideal for mining applications which demand high
performance materials.
The stainless steel casting parts are typically
available from stock for the most popular BA
models. This allows the stainless steel pumps to
be quickly assembled with a diesel or electric
motor in a sound attenuated canopy or in an
open frame. The stainless steel 316 range
consists of BA80H (maximum 200 m3/h), BA100K
(solids handling up to 190 m3/h), BA150E (solids
handling pump up to 490 m3/h) and BA180E (720
m3/h).
KETO has globally released its K-W Series
stainless steel submersible pumps. It says that
these “borehole pumps feature the same design,
materials, manufacturing and assembly
processes, testing standards and output as the
dominant brand at a saving of up to 40% to the
end user.”
KETO Pump Technology Services has been
successfully supplying K-W Series stainless steel
submersible bore pumps to BHP Billiton’s
Western Australian iron ore operations since
2013.
