KSB has announced what it says is a major growth of the GIW MDX product line, with the the MDX-850.
KSB’s line of GIW slurry pumps is designed to make sure optimal wear performance in harsh situations. The GIW Mill Duty Extra Heavy (MDX) product line is specially engineered to deal with the intense situations present in hard-rock mining applications, the corporate said.
“ Wacky are seeing an elevated demand for minerals and ores,” KSB explained. “Operators should now contemplate the prices of pump upkeep and substitute in addition to the fee advantage of utilising fewer bigger pumps versus a quantity of smaller pumps to perform the identical work.”
The bigger MDX-850 is the answer for operators who want to succeed in higher manufacturing ranges while sustaining a decrease whole price of possession, according to the company.
It added: “The MDX is broadly considered the best cyclone feed pump out there for the mining business, so extending the MDX product line was a natural choice.”
The MDX-850 is a significant step up in dimension, with an 850 mm (34 in) discharge and a pair of,600 mm (102 in) impeller compared with 750 mm (30 in)/2,350 mm (92 in) of the MDX-750, beforehand the biggest MDX pump. Design options of the MDX-850 additionally embody a selection of improvements applied to the MDX vary in latest years, such as an elevated pump width to allow for improved diverter design, and a thickness increase in critical areas of the impeller to improve operation and put on life. Thickened impeller vanes, cast in proprietary GasiteTM 28G and EndurasiteTM, improve wear life, so the lifecycles of wet-end elements match scheduled downtime, KSB mentioned.
The MDX-850 options an improved interface between the suction liner and the suction plate, which allows for using a put on ring and hydraulic options on the pump inlet. As with all GIW MDX pump assemblies, the MDX-850 has an adjustable suction liner. The MDX-850 is suitable with the GIW RAMSL (Remotely Adjusted Mechanical Suction Liner). RAMSL expertise makes for sooner and extra accurate nostril hole changes, KSB explained.
The MDX-850 is designed with high efficiency in mind.
Amy Lewis, KSB’s MDX-850 Product Manager, stated: “A vital period of time and a focus was dedicated to the impeller hydraulics to ensure it will offer the most effective performance. The MDX continues to be the best choice in mill circuit pumps and the 850 promises to shatter the limitations stopping prospects from attaining maximum efficiency.”
