Integrated Pump Technology’s firm foundation of expertise allows it to expand into valuable new solutions for its customers. Key accounts manager Justin Bawden explains that diesel driven pumps now augment the company’s value offering.
Its offering recently grew from its established range of Grindex and Faggiolati submersible pumps to include the well-respected Godwin range of diesel driven pumps. Bawden explains that this adds considerable value to customers – as the pumping business is all about matching the right pump to each specific duty and application.
“The Godwin range of diesel-powered pumps is a great boost for customers wanting to deploy a robust pumping solution in locations where electricity is not available,” says Bawden. “As important as the quality of these pumps, though, is our ability to support them to the demanding standards set by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).”
To service its submersible and diesel driven ranges of pumps, Integrated Pump Technology boasts a modern technical workshop and warehouse which ensures that customers experience quick access to the equipment, servicing and spare parts they need. He highlights that the company’s active network of distributors around southern Africa visit customers regularly to offer support and technical advice.
“We are pleased to now be able to offer the diesel driven option too, allowing customers to conduct pumping operations in areas where there may be no electrical power supply,” says Bawden. The versatile Godwin range extends from entry level units reaching heads of 15 metres and maximum flow rates of 200 m³ per hour – right up to large units pumping to 180 metre heads and achieving flow rates of 1 300 m³ per hour.
The company is also the Southern African distributor of the world class Grindex submersible pump range, and among the smart features of the Grindex pumps, which range from 0,42 kW to 90 kW, are extra protection such as phase rotation and phase loss to avoid overheating.
There is also high chrome, wear resistant material in the slurry pumps to extend service life. Included in the company’s pump offering is the Faggiolati pump range which addresses important specific applications as it can be flameproofed, and can also be fitted with chopping impellers to deal with fibrous material in water.
