IEC (SANS) standards

To pump in explosive environments all Hippo Submersible Pumps comply to:

  • IEC (SANS) 60079:0 2005
  • IEC (SANS) 60079:1 2004

Applications

The Hippo VT slurry pumps are excellent for dewatering and drainage pumping applications and can be used pumping liquids with entrapped air (Froth Pumping) applications.The combination of compact design with high-pressure capability makes the pumps suitable for use in pits, on pontoons or can be installed in a temporary or fixed installation. Can also be installed in series for accommodating very high heads like acid mine water drainage the installation design options provide the flexibility requirements to cover all industry needs.

Some applications include:

  • General Hard De-watering & Drainage
  • Slag Pits
  • Tailings ponds
  • Slurry Froth Pumping
  • Mineral ProcessingPhosphoric Acid Plants
  • Mine De-watering
