In part a celebration of the 40th Anniversary of its automatic self-priming Dri-Prime pump line, Godwin Pumps’ newest addition to the HL series is the HL260M Dri-Prime pump. Capable of flow rates to 1,810 m 3/h and heads to 150 m,the 250 mm x 200 mm HL260M is a single-stage, automatic priming centrifugal pump with solids handling capability to 50 mm in diameter.

“The single-stage impeller design, close coupling, solids handling capability and Dri- Prime priming system combine to provide a very unique offering for portable pumps generating discharge heads to 150 m,” said Godwin President, John M. Paz. “The industry is trending towards larger pumps and our engineering team is dedicated to developing the most reliable range of high lift pumps on the market.” Built with a cast iron pump volute, cast chromium steel impeller and nickel chrome cast iron wear plates, the HL260M is engineered for tough pumping applications.

“In a wide variety of applications requiring medium flows and high head, the HL260M eliminates the need for mine superintendents to build intermediate water storage ponds and stage pumps at different elevations to dewater their pits. With the HL260M you can dewater the pit floor by pumping straight out with less pumps and pipes,” said John Miller, Managing Director of Godwin Pumps Ltd. The Dri-Prime venturi priming system on the HL260M provides suction lift capability to 8.5 m and continuous uninterrupted operation. In addition, its dry running, double high-pressure oil bath mechanical seal with abrasion-resistant solid silicon carbide faces enables the pump to run indefinitely without risk of overheating or failure.
