Mining

In mining, HIGRA pumps can be used in a variety of ways, such as in Samps, a booster system for water transfer and water withdrawal to lower the water table. Made from special material, one of its differentials is that it doesn’t suffer vibrations from frequent explosions. “It’s a single body, monoblock type, so there’s no need for alignment,” say the directors. One of the company’s clients is Vale, where there was a case that shows how the equipment excels in any situation. “There was one of our pumps and another from a competitor on the surface when the floater sank and remained submerged for almost a year.

Only the HIGRA pump continued to work, thanks to its amphibious characteristics,” the directors point out, noting that another advantage is that the equipment needs a minimum of water to completely drain a samp or lake.
