Elastomer Update | |
Linatex was officially acquired by Weir Group and they have sent a termination letter that ends our supplier relationship with Linatex for rubber pump parts. GIW Purchasing has ordered enough stock to take care of our customer requirements based upon the 2011 forecast. Materials Management is asking that sales, customer service, and marketing team members use Syncrono Scheduling System for availability of rubber parts that are not currently in our inventory.
Please direct all your questions regarding the Elastomer Transition to Andre RhoDess and Jim Pintar or his team members for questions on availability of rubber pump parts.
This will help get the correct information to our customers and reduce confusion while we are going through this transition.
Email Andre RhoDess
or call him at ext. 2211.

Product Modification:
LSA-S Straight Shaft Option |
GIW will no longer sell new LSA-S standard pump assemblies with straight shaft options (assembly numbers with odd item numbers). The LSA-S assemblies with stiffened shaft (even numbered item numbers) are direct replacements. Component parts for the straight shaft versions of the LSA-S pump range, including the straight shaft part numbers, will remain available for spare parts sales.
GIW will inactivate all straight shaft LSA-S standard pump assembly numbers (odd item numbers) in the AS400 and SLYSEL and designate stiffened shaft LSA-S options (even numbered item numbers) as direct replacements.
LSA-S stiffened shaft assembly option (even item numbers) is a direct replacement for LSA-S straight shaft assembly.

GIW Fall Tradeshows Are A Success!
 We are proud to announce that the Oil Sands Tradeshow in Ft. McMurray, Canada and the Phosphate Conference in Lakeland, Florida was a success. In Canada our sales team benefited from many networking opportunities at the Ft. McMurray REGEN Center Open House. Plans are already underway for next years show. We will be doubling the size of our booth and bringing in large equipment to feature our newest product the Froth Pump.

 | | Slurry Loop Demonstration |
At the Phosphate Conference in Lakeland, Florida, GIW's Florida sales team along with Grovetown's engineering department featured an educational Slurry Loop exhibit. This crowd pleasing presentation demonstrates how solids are transported through a pipeline. The exhibit was very popular and led to many potential leads.
Thanks to all who helped make these shows a success. Our goal is to expand our presence in these ever growing markets.

Product Modification:
Bearing Assembly and Shaft Combination
Engineering has changed the structure of the non-LCC pump BOM. This is not a design change. The current LSA BOM structure as seen in the example below maintains the shaft and cartridge bearing assembly (CBA) parts as two separate parts in the top level of the pump assembly BOM. The new structure now has the CBA/Shaft combination part as a subassembly in the top level of the pump assembly BOM. The new subassembly is marked in bold lettering in the New Pump BOM Structure below. The LCC pump BOM structure has already been changed to this structure on 08/17/2009.

Benefits
1. Change provides consistency with our STD LCC BOM structure that we changed to support the new TDI (face to face bearing CBA).
2. BOM structure change supports customer service for spare part orders.

MARSA - Lima, Peru
GIW Outlasts the Competitor
The Minera Aurífera Retamas S.A. Plant, or MARSA Gold Mine, is located in the Pataz region of Northeast Peru. This remote province is situated on the western flank of the Eastern Mountain range, 110 miles from the city of Trujillo at an altitude of 3900 m.s.n.m. A narrow 250 mile long road through steep slopes is the only access to the mining camp; there is limited access via a small airfield to the city of Chagual where you must then take a car for the remaining 45 mile journey to the plant. The climate of the Pataz region is predominately cold; with only two seasons; heavy rain throughout the months of November and April and dry for the rest of the year.
This harsh environment set the scene for GIW's success against two of its top competitors. In 2009, GIW rose to the challenge and installed a 150 LCC 20 (XH) cyclone feed pump. MARSA was currently testing two competitor pumps. Competitor 1 installed an 8x6 x 18 and Competitor 2 installed an 8x6 x 20; however, both were unsuccessful.Competitor 1's suction plate lasted for only 10 days (240 hrs.); and Competitor 2's suction plate lasted only 40 days (960 hrs.). The competitor's impellers could not surpass GIW's record of 900 hours and GIW's shell operated 45% better than either of the competitor's casings.
 | | Testing the flow rate for the LCC. |
Currently, GIW's 150 LCC 20 (XH) pump is in operation; which was selected for a flow rate of 350 (m3/H) with a TDH of 23 (m.c.p.). The current total life cycle is 1500 hours for the suction liner, 1500 hours for the impeller and over 2500 hours for the shell. MARSA is extremely pleased with the continued success of the LCC pump and is interested in testing GIW's LSA pump for their heavy duty applications in the future.
GIW's suction liner, impeller and casing, dramatically improved performance in relation to any previous pumps used in the MARSA Mine. MARSA recognized GIW's LCC pump a success due to the 1.6 improvement in wear life and for matching the required cycle time.GIW's pump components had much better responses to the changes in the flow rate at which internal recirculation decreased. Ultimately, the competitors and could not contend with the life cycle of the GIW LCC pump.
