Xylem launched new dewatering pumps at BAUMA 2013 under its Flygt and Godwin brands. The new series of submersible dewatering pumps are modelled on the Flygt BIBO pump. Xylem also released a powerful and compact Godwin pump, designed for lower head dewatering applications. Head of Xylem’s dewatering business, Andrew Jones said “Demanding conditions on a worksite and a changed business environment where resources are limited mean that customers need ever more reliable and durable technologies, and we are responding to that need with some smart new dewatering solutions. We believe the new Flygt BIBO will make a big impression within the mining sector when launched globally later this year. We will also launch our new Godwin Vac-Prime, a highly efficient, automatic self-priming dewatering solution ideally suited to well-pointing. It features Godwin’s trademark reliability and high performance in a compact, lightweight model.”

Xylem’s Flygt BIBO has been designed for the toughest dewatering environments, including mining, quarrying, construction and tunnelling. Xylem have also released the Godwin Vac-Prime range of Dri-Prime pumps for medium to high head applications as well as an update to the Flygt 2600 series and Godwin NC series, which features non-clog Flygt N-technology.
