64 PRODUCTS New pump range Among the first South African companies to adopt this pump technology was Hernic Ferrochrome, who currently plans to retrofit all the pumps at their OB-Plant to the CURVE range. The conversion project commenced with the installation of the first pump on 1 November 2016. Since then, this pump’s performance has surpassed all expectations while being closely monitored to validate the actual performance of the pumps in real-world applications. “This was in effect the first true test of the S150 pump,” says James Pienaar, Pump and Abrasion Technologies (PAT) sales director. “The changeover of all existing pumps at Hernic Ferrochrome’s OB-Plant to the new range is a process that takes time, but we are currently standing at close to 10 pumps installed and operating at the OB-Plant.” For more information, contact +27 (0) 12 666 0904/5.
