Xylem The new and improved Flygt range offers customers a reliable and robust selection of large and mid-sized drainage pumps. Xylem Water Solutions South Africa debuted enhancements to its Flygt 2000 drainage pump range at the Electra Mining Africa Expo this year. The new and improved Flygt pumps offer customers an even more reliable and robust selection of large and mid-sized drainage pumps, engineered for the most challenging dewatering conditions and applications. Xylem’s new 25kW Flygt 2190 mid-sized submersible dewatering pump is built to handle tough, abrasives-laden liquids. The Flygt 2190 pump is available with two impeller options: the signature closed impeller with Dura-Spin safeguards, which protect against wear by sweeping abrasive particles away from the impeller neck, while the semi-open impeller increases uptime by preventing fibrous solids from obstructing the pump. The new and improved Flygt 2201SH shares the same proven technology as its robust and reliable sibling the Flygt 2190, in addition to providing customers with a super-high head alternative with its two-stage hydraulics version. Xylem’s Flygt 2400 stainless steel pump, the first stainless steel-only pump in the Flygt 2400 series, provides customers in the mining sector with a durable, super-high head pump suitable for transporting chemically-aggressive mine water.
