A customer in South Africa contacted us regarding some urgent dewatering multistage pumps that were required to remove nuisance water from the mine to the surface.

ATEX is a broad term used to describe equipment which will be placed within an explosive atmosphere. Codes are used to rate equipment according to several factors depending on the zone the equipment will be placed, the temperatures that the pumps will reach, gases present, and whether there is flammable dust.

Hand pumps are available in a variety of different types and designs but what factors should be considered during selection?
