XH 200
Diesel Drive Auto Prime XTRA High Head Pump
As Mines and Quarries go deeper the Xtra High Head automatic priming solids handling pumpset is designed to dewater more efficiently and effectively.
Boasting one of the best shaft stiffness ratio’s of any automatic priming pump on the market the Sykes Xtra High Head range provides the reliability to meet the market expectations.
Sykes engineers have ensured that the enormous pressures and heads associated with such performance do not compromise seal integrity through shaft flexing.
Sykes Xtra High Head Pump range caters to the demands of the global mining industry and all models have the ability to operate unattended at high discharge heads.

MH 300i
The Sykes MH300i is the first product in a new medium-head pump range developed to operate in harsh mining, construction and sewerage by-pass environments which feature both high water flow and long pipe runs.
Exhaustive field trials showed that standard cast iron impeller and plates can corrode before they wear out. Fitting the MH300i with 316 stainless steel front and rear wear plates and impeller instead, has helped increase pumping efficiency to 77%.
As well as the switch to 316 stainless steel and the introduction of a new bearing bracket, the pump features a drive coupling to suit power requirements and resonance conditions (ie torsional vibration). This also makes the pump unusually robust as well as helping to reduce fuel consumption, emissions and maintenance costs.
Other MH300i innovations include the introduction of a flooded, oil-lubricated pump bearing set-up and leak-free pump bearing isolator in place of the grease lubrication system featured in many other pumps. This neatly sidesteps the usual threat of pump failure due to either too much or too little grease – or because of contamination.
