Extremes become possible with Pioneer pumps
Wear resistant pumps for solids handling or high pressure
In the bulk handling branch things get tough. The wear on the equipment is severe due to solid and abrasive dust. Water plays a major part during the handling of dry bulk. No customer likes to see his coal or iron ore in a pool of water during heavy rainfall. During dry seasons, dust fighting becomes an important issue. The formation of dust will cause problems with authorities and surrounding companies or urban areas.
A diversity of bulk handling companies like EMO, OVET and OBA relies on Pioneer pumps for dust fighting by high pressure pumps and emergency pumping by diesel driven trailer sets with high solids handling capacity.
At EMO and OVET Pioneer pumps are used for dust fighting by pumping water with a capacity of 200 m³/h at 15 bar through a water canon. As long as the small particles are kept wet they will not be blown away by the wind. The problem with surface water during maintenance, leakage or heavy rainfall is being dealt with by a Pioneer solid handling pump with diesel engine on a mobile trailer. The pump has a capacity of 600 m³/h and handles solids up to 75 mm!!
The pumps are suitable for indefinite dry running and can run without supervision. Just place the suction hose and start up the pump, the employee can go back to his daily routine.
