Submersible drainage pump for extreme environments

Grindex has launched Master Inox, the first model in the new pump series Inox, comprising three drainage and three sludge pumps in stainless steel.

The pumps originate from the company's well known red Proline pumps, with the casted aluminium replaced by casted stainless steel. However, the biggest difference between the red Proline pumps and the new Inox pumps is the casted parts; in Inox all casted aluminium parts have been replaced by acid proof stainless steel (SS2343/EN316). The Inox pumps have many spare parts in common; for example, the shaft seal fits all Inox pumps, Grindex says.

The stainless steel pumps are intended for use in corrosive applications with pH values from 2-10 such as mines, process industries, harbours and leach water applications. Master Inox is designed for use in applications where conventional pumps are destroyed quickly, due to the extreme pH values in the fluids. While a Proline pump is made of aluminium and designed for work in fluids with pH values from 5-8, the Inox series can pump fluids with pH values from 2-10.
