Weir Minerals Netherlands is pleased to present the new GEHO^® positive displacement pump technology at the Achema exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany: the GEHO^® APEXS pump.

The GEHO^® APEXS pump system is suitable:

• to transport medium volumes of clean fluids or unsettled mine-water at medium to high pressures (up to 300 bars)
• to act as a single lift alternative against conventional multiple lifting lay-outs
• to comply with operational knowledge standards of hydraulic systems in mining

This GEHO^® APEXS pump technology - named after the operating principle for Annular Pressure EXchange System - is a two chamber, single-acting hose diaphragm pump, driven by a full flow hydraulic drive.

Benefits of the GEHO^® APEXS pump system are tailored around a beneficial total cost of ownership:

• protection against abrasive minerals which is inherent to its design
• high overall efficiency to save power consumption
• minimum of foundation requirements
• modular construction to solve many underground transport restrictions;
• reliable operation and high availability, > 98%
• low parts usage that minimizes operating costs

You are welcome to visit us at the Achema exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany, booth nr. D-6-D10, Hall 9, to learn more about this unique and attractive pumping technology. Weir Minerals delivers proven results with the GEHO^® APEXS pump.
