Mining’s First High-Head Pumping Solution for Highly Abrasive Water Dramatically Simplifies Dewatering
“Water shouldn’t have to be a complicated aspect of mining,” said Ken Albaugh, director, Dewatering Services for Xylem. “Anything we can do to simplify water management enables the mine to boost efficiency and productivity. The Flygt 2450 addresses the specific challenges that mine water presents and makes water management simpler, safer and less expensive.” The pump drastically reduces wear and extends the time between servicing to up to 6,000 h – 3 times the hours of standard submersible pumping equipment – due to a Hard-Iron™ hydraulic end and Dura-Spin™ diffuser technology. At a large U.S. open-pit gold mine, operators replaced a parallel pumping system with a single Flygt 2450. To date, it has delivered 5,500 h of continuous, trouble-free runtime without requiring maintenance, cutting costs dramatically. Building on this innovation, Xylem is also introducing the Flygt 2401, a redesigned version of the Flygt 2400 submersible pump. This versatile model offers mining application flexibility with two hydraulic configurations: one optimized for high head lifting and the other for high-volume flow. Additional enhancements allow for faster servicing and longer pump life, including a redesigned bearing arrangement, larger connection box and streamlined pump housing. Xylem showcased the Flygt 2450 and 2401 at the World of Asphalt/AGG1 show in St. Louis, Missouri, from March 25-27.
