Pumps manufacturer Franklin Electric South Africa will be demonstrating at Electra Mining Africa how the new Mono EZstrip transfer pump can make a day-long maintenance operation a 30-minute job.

Considered as the biggest leap forward in progressing cavity pump technology in 30 years, the Mono EZstrip transfer pump is the first industrial progressing cavity pump unit that can be stripped without the need for electrical disconnection or removal of pipework. The new transfer pump is easy to install and presents the opportunity to see downtime drastically reduced as maintenance, cleaning and repairs to the pump can be carried out in situ.

Franklin Electric will demonstrate how to access the pump internals to either maintain the pump or clear out any build-up in less than a minute, with reassembly of the suction chamber taking the same time. Franklin Electric will also show how the entire drivetrain of the Mono EZstrip transfer pump, including rotor, stator, shaft, rod and seal, can be removed in less than four minutes, and reassembled as quickly. Currently, the removal of rotating parts from a conventional progressing cavity pump can take up to a full day.

The Mono EZstrip transfer pump is suitable for applications such as dewatering, coal washing, gland service, sludges, slurries, flocculants and industrial chemicals.

Following its launch in South Africa in 2015, the pump has been well received by local industry and is used to pump flocculants, water and personal care products.

Franklin Electric will also showcase the company’s entire range of positive displacement pumps, other industrial models of varying sizes, and positive displacement borehole pumps for dewatering applications, as well as demonstrate how a positive displacement pump can pump highly viscous products.
