KSB GIW introduced the GIW VMD as a new vertical slurry pump designed for abrasive and demanding slurry applications.
According to the company, the GIW VMD sets a new standard for vertical pump technology by combining heavy-duty reliability with a fully modular construction. Its wet end, mechanical end and cantilever components are all interchangeable, enabling quick adaptation to different operating requirements.
The flexible configuration facilitates rapid maintenance, simplified part replacements and easy customization to match specific site needs.
“Mining and industrial operations run under challenging conditions that require efficient processes and minimal downtime,” says Tyler Ferguson, engineering product manager at KSB GIW. “The VMD was engineered with that reality in mind. Its rugged, customizable design provides customers with a pump that is both dependable and adaptable to changing environments.”
KSB GIW says the GIW VMD pump is built to withstand severe slurry duties where durability is critical. High-chrome alloy materials provide exceptional wear resistance and long service life in abrasive applications, the company says, while the vertical cantilever design eliminates submerged bearings to reduce the risk of failure and lower service demands.
“The VMD is designed for mining and industrial processing plants that need equipment capable of handling abrasive slurries without compromising efficiency,” Ferguson says. “With its outstanding wear resistance and flexibility, it provides a dependable solution for plant managers, engineers and operations leaders focused on productivity and cost control. The GIW VMD gives customers confidence not only in meeting today’s challenges but also in ensuring longevity for the future.”
