On November 10, ITT Corp unveiled its new Gould Pumps XHD (Extra Heavy Duty) lined slurry pump.

The pump is designed for use in mining and related industries, including applications involving primary metals, mineral processing, non-metallic mining, power utilities, and sand and aggregates.

It is suited specifically for use in Hydraulic Institute Service Class III (heavy) applications, including thickener underflow, tailings disposal, slurry transfer and dilute media, and Class IV (very heavy) applications such as primary grinding circuits, heavy media, thickener underflow and tailings disposal.

The capacity range of the XHD pump is 2,950m3/h, with up to 85m of discharge pressure. The product range includes six models with between 80-300mm discharge and in four different power frames.

The XHD range will be available globally with metal liners as of December 1, and ITT expects shipments to start in the March quarter 2012. The company will introduce rubber-lined versions in late 2012 and an expeller option will also be available in mid-2012. In addition, ITT plans to add more pump sizes and higher pressure capabilities to the range in the future.
