Verder Pumps SA has DURA-bility!

Date: 23-07-2008

Verder Pumps to launch new Verderflex DURA model at Electra Mining.

The latest addition to the new generation DURA range in the Verderflex peristaltic hose pump series will be launched by Verder Pumps SA (Pty) Ltd. (VPSA) at the Electra Mining show taking place at Nasrec Expo Centre from 8 to 12 September 2008.

The Verderflex DURA model has an ultra-compact construction dramatically reducing required floor space by up to 70% and rigid pump housing designed for heat dispersion and strength. Due to the viscous nature of the products pumped by Verderflex peristaltic hose pumps, the range has been designed to provide much lower capital running costs. The pump has a ‘greased for life’ bearing and centrally absorbs the forces released in the pump, offering lower maintenance and a durable pump drive – ideal for the pumping of slurries, 80% solids, abrasives or viscous liquids.

VPSA is a trusted supplier of high quality industrial pumps and accessories to the mining industry in South African and sub-Saharan Africa. The company will once again be showcasing their impressive range of peristaltic hose pumps, air-diaphragm pumps, and magnetic drive centrifugal pumps at the show.

For close to six years, the number of pumps sold by VPSA has grown exceptionally. VPSA is the fastest growing business unit of the Verder Group, founded in The Netherlands in 1959 by Andre Verder, with 28 branches represented in 15 countries worldwide today. Established in 2002, VPSA has since firmly cemented its leading brands, reputation and position in the South African marketplace around the company’s ground-breaking products.

The worlds largest peristaltic hose pump - Verderflex VF125 – continues to be popular in the mining industry in South Africa as well as throughout southern African and the rest of the world alike,” states VPSA Director Keith Gass. The latest order for two VF125s was received from DRA Mineral Projects for the Thickener Underflow pumps at Pilansberg Platinum Mines, bringing the total number of VF125 pumps sold to 40 – the most sold within the entire Verder Group. With a further two VF125 pumps in the pipeline for Suzdal Mine Kazakstan Russia, VPSA hope to break the 50th pump sold before year end.

The Verderflex pump range has grown in acceptance by the market due to the design features and durability. With the latest addition to the DURA range, sales are expected to increase substantially.

Verderair sales remain on the increase. With the unique air valve, it is expected that sales for the product will continue to grow exponentially. More significantly, a trend is being seen where the Verdermag pumps are being favoured over conventional centrifugal pumps with mechanical seals. Their leak-free feature makes them a sensation for applications where environmental aspects must be taken into consideration.

Gass believes “Our ability to provide expert advice to solve difficult pumping applications, and having the right products available to the market and support them are integral to our success. This is certainly supported by our growing sales and profitability over the past six years.”

This is demonstrated by the pumping solutions technology specialist’s recent move to bigger premises in Northriding. “This investment secures VPSA's long term future and demonstrates the company’s commitment to remain independent and provide excellent service and support,” insists Gass.

The new premises allow for increased stock holding, and improved service and efficiencies. The company will continue to strive to deliver the best range of complete pumping solutions.

“Verder understands the need in today’s world for cost-effective, efficient and long-lasting solutions; with our range of pumps we are able to fully meet this need. Our knowledgeable staff, efficient dealer network, reliable pumps and excellent customer service have enabled us to grow to become a leading pump supplier,” concludes Gass.
