Dewatering pump capable of pumping 250 litres/second at 200 metres head.<br />
operates seven mines – including the<br />
Ravensthorpe nickel mine in Western<br />
Australia – and is currently developing<br />
other world class projects. At the request<br />
of FQM the unit was custom-engineered<br />
and manufactured to be powered by<br />
the <strong>Cummins</strong> QST30 CustomPak.<br />
The CustomPak powerpack is designed<br />
around <strong>Cummins</strong>’ QST30 engine, a<br />
30-litre V12 rated at 1050 hp. In high<br />
duty cycle mining applications such as<br />
rotary blasthole drilling, the QST30 is<br />
noted for its reliability and durability.<br />
<strong>Cummins</strong> CustomPaks have earned<br />
a reputation for robustness and the<br />
ability to operate in intense heat. All<br />
CustomPak cooling systems provide<br />
for continuous operation in ambient<br />
temperatures of plus 50 deg. Celsius.<br />
WMM points out that its Multiflo MF-<br />
420E pump was upgraded in late 2011<br />
to achieve the higher pressure ratings the<br />
market was seeking. This was done by<br />
improving the wet-end casing, allowing<br />
the system to go from running at 1400<br />
rpm to a maximum of 1700 rpm.<br />
With operations based in Coolum on<br />
Queensland’s Sunshine Coast and in<br />
Balikpapan, Indonesia, WMM is a leading<br />
supplier of custom-engineered dewatering<br />
pump units in the Asia Pacific region.<br />
