Grindex launches its upgraded drainage pump range

Pump upgrade

Grindex has unveiled its upgraded drainage pump range and the company claims that the new design triples the durability of the units. The added service life comes from increased wear resistance in the impellor which has been achieved by preventing abrasive particles from reaching the vulnerable parts of the pump. The newly designed hydraulics section with its closed impeller dramatically reduces the performance drop caused by long-term wear, according to Grindex.
Maintenance on the units has been improved with a screw adjustment for impellor realignment to take account of wear. "Before it might have taken an engineer 30 minutes to an hour to adjust the impellor but the revised design allows it to be done in five minutes," explained Grindex general manager Dan Schaffer. "The oil inspection has also been eased with access on the outside of the casing where as previously the casing would have to be removed to carry out checks."
The modular design of the base of the pump allows all the units to be converted on site from dewatering configurations to slurry pumping
