S81 Submersible

A design enhancement from the popular dewatering submersible elevates this pump into a class of its own.

This pump is 100% manufactured in-house by our team of specialised technicians and engineered to meet the demanding application in underground deep mining.

Ask us for our references and we will be happy to share with you how mining managers have saved capital and operating costs by switching to PRZ.

100% Made in South Africa

DW PUMP

Available in 150mm and 200mm discharge sizes. These pumps can achieve 13 bar pressure at 290 l/s with best efficiency 78%. They are designed to withstand working pressure of 50bar and are statically tested at 75bar and are therefore safe and efficient in series pump configurations. Larger vein sizes decrease probability of clogging. 

  • 1000 m3/hr B.E.P @ 120 meter head. Specific Gravity 1.05
  • Volute Casing test pressure 7500 kpa. Working pressure 5000 kpa.
  • Longevity is achieved with unique sealing and bearing design resulting in minimum delays and standing time.
  • These significant improvements have reduced the total cost of ownership to company with case studies to prove these claims.

No Description

Advantages over submersibles or self-priming pumps:

1) Vertical spindle pumps on floating barges require minimum maintenance and maximize intervals between maintenance on account of they being powered electrically and not diesel driven in the case of self-priming pumps and due to the robust design of the vertical spindle pumps with cantilever shafts and oversized bearings and no mechanical seal requirement. Resulting in opex savings.

2) The pumps spindle depth (NPSHA) remains constant as the pit water level rises and falls in flash flooding occurrences. No need to prime the pumps.

3) Pumps continue to operate even in flash flooding scenarios translating into a safer work environment because crews are not required to move pumps to higher ground.

 4) As much as 30% more cost effective from a capital expenditure point of view. 

5) Simple run dry water seal arrangement, eliminating expensive mechanical seals.

6) Eliminating the replacement costs and maintenance expenses of a diesel engine.

9) Cost saving by eliminating diesel refueling in the pit.

10) Diesel Refueling in the pit in flash flooding conditions could contribute to a safety hazard.

VS Range

Heavy Duty Hard Metal or Elastomer – This has been enhanced from the original design with the hydro-dynamic expeller labyrinth seal which when operating pressurizes and keeps contaminants from entering the bearings. 

  • Due to the OEM design weaknesses, we introduced our design improvements that have increased the working life of this pump significantly resulting in huge cost savings.
  • A PRZ Hydro-dynamic expeller labyrinth seal was introduced, the pressurized seal design keeps contaminants from entering the bearings with an additional shrink-on securing ring.
  • A heavy-duty five-foot column extension design for additional support.
  • A standard heavy-duty five-foot volute design to match.
  • The cantilever shaft design together with improved material selection enables high impact resistance from large pumped objects.
  • A complete test and Case study was conducted and concluded by a Mining Company quality department.
  • Monthly operating expense’s and improved overall cost of ownership have been achieved.

Vigilance Smart Lamps

NLT Digital’s line of Smart lamps debuted with Messenger, the world’s first cap lamp to accommodate bi-directional messaging. Our new Vigilance Smart Lamp is the culmination of years of experience and engineering to supply a lamp unrivalled in its functionality, capabilities and design. 

For use in the harshest environments, the intrinsically safe (IS) Vigilance has the capacity to accommodate a variety of tracking tag options while keeping the quality of the battery and light source at the forefront. 

Two-way messaging, the integrated camera and smart apps are where Vigilance shines. With a massive 3.5 inch touch screen and integrated smart apps, the Vigilance lamp aims to improve work flow and communication for the most demanding underground environments.

IO Modules – Fans, Pumps, Sensors

Condition monitoring of sensors and remote control of pumps, valves and fans is made possible with this state-of-the-art gigabit backbone low latency and high-speed WiFi network. 

Both digital and analog IO modules are compatible with any PLC or control network using Modbus TCP. 

Enhance your mines safety when paired with NLT’s flagship software (Digital Mine), the event composer, the GUI display of critical gas sensors, fan speeds or other instrumentation is made possible. 

This enables ventilation on demand based on blending and manipulating data you’re your tracking and environmental condition monitoring apparatus
