Goodwin International Limited
Steel Applications
Goodwin submersible slurry pumps, are proven worldwide to succeed in the most demanding environments, like pumping Mill Scale at high temperatures.
What makes our submersible slurry pump particularly suited to working in the Steel industry are the following features:
- It has our own proprietary design of oil filled motor, which has proven itself in the industry for over 30 years. The motor is built to withstand pumping continuously based on all steel copper and brass construction (no aluminium), with a slurry temperature of 90°C carrying up to 65% solids by weight, handling particles up to 32mm diameter.
- Where other submersible pumps will burn out if they are accidentally left and run dry, the Goodwin submersible slurry pump can run indefinitely pumping no media without burning out or tripping.
- The patented Inducer on the Goodwin submersible slurry pump creates a hydraulic shock wave that puts very dense particles in to suspension to be pumped with ease.
- The “wet-end” of the pump is made of highly abrasion resistant materials suited to working in the most demanding environments with the minimum of wear.
- The twin volute design exerts a balanced force on the pump shaft, maximising the bearing and mechanical seal life. By minimising any vibration whether pumping no media / water / or a heavy slurry.
- The mechanical seal is not subjected to pumped media pressure (just the depth of pump submergence - up to 28m) reducing the possibility of any failure.
- The ‘open vane impeller’ and ‘wear plate’ combination give unsurpassed performance for dealing with heavy slurries giving up to 60m Head and a maximum pumping distance of 1000m
- It easily achieves required running interval to be able to plan maintenance for scheduled shutdowns
- As the ‘wet end’ is immersed in the product the Goodwin submersible slurry pump does not need priming.
Continuous Casting and Hot Rolling Mills
Our pumps can be installed in the scale pits underneath the Croppers, for both removing the Scale, and "Flume Flush" operation.
The Basic Oxygen Plant (B.O.S)
Goodwin submersible slurry pumps are regularly installed in the Basic Oxygen Plants (B.O.S) running in sumps below the precipitators, pumping high temperature limestone sludge back into the system for re-processing.
Slag Granulation
Goodwin submersible slurry pumps pump high temperature granulated slag when water is used as the granulating medium. Our pumps can handle particle sizes up to 40mm (200 ANZE), handling all particles from micron sizes up to their maximum particle size. Our pumps are primarily utilised after the slag has been granulised, pumping slag granules from the quenching pond to the de watering systems. Goodwin submersible slurry pump are capable of pumping slag at a continuous rate at up to 65% solids by weight.
Summary
The Goodwin Submersible Slurry submersible slurry pump eliminates the problems associated with standard horizontal and vertical centrifugal pumps due to its compact size requiring no foundations, can replace more expensive capital equipment such as conveyors, drag lines and diggers, saving you money on running and maintenance costs.
There are a host of additional features that contribute to the reliability of this Submersible Slurry Pump in the most demanding environments, some of which are shown on other application examples, to see all of them please contact us so that we can send a full brochure and arrange to come and visit you.
