Recently, Fast Flow Pumps participated in a coal mine reliability test and outperformed electric submersible pumps in the key fields of safety and reliability. The Fast Flow pumps were immune to the electrical deterioration effects that plagued the other submersibles, including burnt electrical heads, damaged electrical windings, and cable wiring failure. More importantly, Fast Flow pumps completely eliminate the danger of running the three-phase electric service to electric submersibles, and eliminates the hazard of standing in several inches of water with 480 volts of electricity nearby.
Fast Flow’s pumps have several other key advantages when working in the mines, including portability, self-priming design, and the ability to handle material like coal fines without clogging. Fast Flow pumps performed favorably when attached to the auxiliary hydraulics of a mine pinner, and can be run from several other equipment types.
