Electric-operated double Diaphragm (EODD) Pumps for Mining and Industrial Applications and energy efficiency effectively drives down the total cost of ownership. The energy-related benefits are particularly noteworthy given the substantial role of energy expenses in mining and industrial operations. Furthering Sustainability QUANTM’s reduced energy usage translates to diminished emissions, aligning with the pursuit of reduced carbon footprints by organisations. Seamless Integration The QUANTM pump stands out with its ease of installation. Designed as a “plug-and-play solution,” it boasts features such as flexible connection options with existing rigid piping and utilisation of the current power supply. Commissioning the QUANTM pump requires no special precautions like priming or seal system protection.
This unique design allows for continuous dry runs without necessitating the replacement of stationary or rotating seals. Flux Core Technology Central to the QUANTM range of EODD pumps is the Flux Core – a transverse flux motor. This AC motor mimics the behaviour of a DC motor, obviating the need for a soft starter. The Flux Core motor delivers exceptional torque power, providing up to eight times more continuous torque at low speeds and power density compared to conventional motors. These attributes translate to minimized size and resistance losses. User Benefits QUANTM presents users in the mining and industrial sectors with an array of advantages: • Optimal Energy Efficiency • Reduced Maintenance Costs • Ultra-Low Total Cost of Ownership The benefits of reduced maintenance costs and a lowered cost of ownership stem from significant savings in spare parts expenditure. Notably, the wet side of the QUANTM EODD pump shares the same spare parts as the standard AODD pump range. The design inherently incorporates economies of scale and interchangeability, further enhancing cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the provided maintenance manual outlines preventative maintenance principles and regular intervals, contributing to prolonged pump lifespan and diminished maintenance expenses.
