Sliding Shoe Drainage Pumps
Function and Benefits

• Hydraulic pressure behind shoes causing wear
  self-adjustment

• Outstanding suction lift, even when the pump is
  no longer new

• Constant flow, even when the head increases

• Will pump varying viscosities, and tolerate
  run-dry situations

• Low shear operation ideal for separation
  applications

Remote installation and simple on-site
maintenace....

Dolphin Floating Strainer

• Megator Dolphin floating strainer
• - Simple floating suction strainer that draw from
  just below the surface, avoiding sand, mud and
  floating debris

• Plastic and stainless steel design that will
  tolerate agressive fluids acids, seawater, bilge
  etc

• Will allways flow upright, even if ruptured

Reduce pump wear, prevent stoppages, lessen
cavitation risk - save their cost many times
over....

Megator mine pump installation

• The Megator mine pump is supplied as a complete
  pump set pump mounted to a mild steel skid base,
  complete with NEMA/IEC drive motor, flexible
  coupling and Dolphin strainer.

• Install the pump in a tunnel / adit, with easy
  acces.

Megator pump fitted with both Dolphin strainer
and optional SIGMA skimmer.

• Install the Dolphin strainer in the area to
  dewatered. The Dolphin may be kept in place, by
  using the mooring eye fitted to it.

• One pump may be fed via more than one Dolphin,
  by the use of a manifold.

• Fill up the pump with water (initial prime) -
  and start pumping !

Sliding Shoe Drainage Pumps
Compared with submersible pumps

• Lower installation cost as often lower grade
  roof support will be accepted, as frequent acces
  to remote areas is not required (underground
  mining).

• Lower operational cost due to higher tolerances,
  lower speed and power consumption

• High suction allows remote location which
  minimizes the risk of run-over damages

• On-site maintenance and self-adjusts for wear

• Delivers high flow at high head, which means
  that fewer pumps are required for a given head.
  Saves energy, installation and maintenance cost.
