Airload 300 Pumps are designed for handling heavily solids laden slurries and sludges normally considered impossible with conventional pumps.The Airload (300) is a portable compressed air powered unit, intrinsically safe and low in height making it particularly suitable for applications in underground mining and tunnelling. It can pass solids up to 80mm in lump size.Unlike conventional pumps, which rely on vacuum displacement, the Airload 300 generates a high velocity suction airflow (17cu.mtr.min./600cfm.) combined with a powerful vacuum (-0.88 Bar/26"HG.) resulting in very effective suction performance.This enables the thickest and most viscous of materials to be suction loaded with horizontal distances in excess of 100 mtrs.and vertical suction lifts of up to 35mtrs. being achievable.
Material is discharged from the pumping vessel by compressed air with transport distances over 150 mtrs. horizontally and heads of up to 25 mtrs. easily achieved even with high solids content materials.
PERFORMANCE - With no moving parts in contact with the material, large lump solids inclusions, waxy, fibrous and abrasive materials may be handled. Performance is dependant on the type of material being handled, the suction lift and the discharge run. Flowable slurries are recovered at a higher rate than viscous sludges.
APPLICATIONS -
Safe for hazardous area operation and removal of material from confined locations.
Typical uses include: - sump cleaning, face slurry removal, pump lodge desilting, winding shaft sump cleaning, tank cleaning, sewer cleaning, mining services, culvert cleaning and pond desilting. |
