Pumps for small  mining applications

USER-FRIENDLY The rear-entry feature of the XST pump enables the impeller, the control valve and the motor to be extracted without disconnecting the pump body from the pipe

The XST series of centrifugal pumps, made by China-based pumps manufacturer Leo and distributed in South Africa by pumps supplier Raptech, features a robust design and is suited for mining applications that require circulation and the transfer of clean and chemically nonaggressive water or other liquids.

XST pumps operate on a 50 Hz power supply, feature a 95 m head, and deliver up to 220 m³/h. These pumps are able to pump liquids at temperatures ranging from –10 ºC to 85 ºC; however, models able to pump liquids ranging from –20 ºC up to 120 ºC are also available on request.

With a maximum operating pressure of 12 bar, the XST series pump has a mechanical seal that complies with DIN 24960 standards and is lubricated by an internal recirculated pumped liquid. A counter flange is also available on request from Raptech.

The XST range includes a variety of pumps that range from 0.75 kW to 55 kW, and from 1 hp to 75 hp.

The rear-entry feature of this product enables the impeller, the control valve and the motor to be extracted without disconnecting the pump body from the pipe. The motor meets IP54 protection requirements and is overload-protected.
