KSB Visitors to PCS White Springs
 |
GIW Florida Service Center and Jonathan Samuel were pleased to host visitors from KSB this September. They were given a tour of PCS White Springs mine and mill to see where and how GIW pumps are applied. PCS graciously hosted the tour. Our hope is to improve cooperation between GIW and KSB and apply large GIW slurry pumps in new projects in Europe and Russia.

PECERA Golf Tournament
 | |
GIW Florida Service Center Participated in the PCS - White Springs PCERA Golf Tournament with four players. Additionally we supported them with a generous contribution to PCERA which is their Family Recreation Organization. Without the support of PCERA, many White Springs employees and their families would not have access to many family outings and social opportunities. Our participation was greatly appreciated.

 GIW Evolutions - September 2011 |
Have you tested yours?
New GIW Materials: Endurasite & Enduraclad
 GIW researchers have developed two new materials that extend the life of pump wear parts in extreme applications. These materials are being used and tested in the oil sands and will soon be available for other markets.
All GIW pump wear parts are built to last. But GIW enhanced those parts even further by developing a new white-iron alloy. The result is Endurasite™, a new material that has been proven in the field to increase wear life up to double the life of wear parts.
GIW is able to make all our pumps' essential wear-related components - shells, impellers and liners - from this new material. Endurasite differs from GIW's Gasite® material, which has until now been the gold standard for pump materials. A new mix of materials is processed through more complex steps to achieve the unique properties that set it apart from standard white irons.
Because of the additional manufacturing steps involved, production of Endurasite is more costly than Gasite. But customers who require extended wear life will immediately see significant value in the reduced downtime they experience.Tested in the field since 2009, Endurasite is currently available to oil sands customers and will soon be available to other markets as well. Endurasite features include:
- lab tested and field approved
- excellent results on impellers in tailings
- up to double the wear life for these parts
- less maintenance, longer wear life translates into more production
GIW has added another wear-resistant feature with its new Enduraclad™ material. For this new technology, GIW starts with a wear part made from Gasite or Endurasite. Then, Enduraclad material is applied to the white-iron surface - an extremely difficult and technical process developed by GIW's metallurgical scientist. The Enduraclad actually bonds to the surface of the wear part, creating an extraordinarily hard and wear-resistant surface that delivers a wear life up to three times longer than normal materials.
Currently, GIW is applying the Enduraclad layer to suction liners and will be offering the coating for other parts in the future. Features of Enduraclad include:
- material applied and bonded to white iron surface
- up to three times increased wear life
- currently applied to suction liners only
GIW exclusiveThese new materials were developed in-house by GIW engineers - not by an outside firm. As such, they are tested and approved in GIW's labs under our real-world testing conditions.
This in-house materials development process is unique to GIW. Scientists and engineers at our Hydraulic Test Lab work continuously to improve existing materials and create new and improved materials for every real-world application our customers encounter.

GIW Standardization Plan - LCC Bearing Assembly Transition from TDO to TDI (35 mm Bearing Assembly Not Available in Future)
Objective:Minimize variations and standardize on more robust design that facilitates use with expeller seals, mechanical seals and larger motors.
Summary
- GIW will no longer deliver new 35 mm LCC bearing assemblies. Change will start with the transition from back to back (TDO) to face to face (TDI) bearing assemblies. Transition is scheduled for the third quarter of 2012.
- The 35 mm units will be replaced with 50 mm units. Therefore, shaft sleeve, stuffing box assembly and impeller thread size will be affected.
- With exception of bearing housings and shafts, component parts for 35 mm face to face (TDI) bearing assemblies will remain available for ten years.
- If bearing housing or shaft is damaged, directive will be to use larger 50 mm face to face (TDI) bearing assembly.
Scope
- LCC pump range: 1000X through 1019X series
- Bearing assemblies: 6000X, 6005X, 6010X and 6015X series

Inactive LSA Assemblies - GIW goes Green!
GIW LSA-S pumps to offer the Throat Bush (TB) stuffing box design as the standard default instead of the Forward Flush (FF). The Forward Flush design will be available for special order and spares support.
Objective: Recognize industry trend, promote water conservation and cost savings for customers and streamline LSA-S product offering.
Summary
The standard default for the LSA-S pump stuffing box will be the Throat Bush (TB) design.
For LSA-S pumps GIW will:
- Designate the Throat Bushing (TB) stuffing box design as the standard default in SlySel
- Eliminate the Forward Flush (FF) stuffing box design as a standard option
- Inactivate all LSA-S assemblies in the AS400 and SlySel for the Forward Flush (FF) stuffing box
- Support the Forward Flush (FF) stuffing box design for spares and special order
- Continue to support the Minimum Dilution (KE) stuffing box as a standard option
1 Scope
LSA-S pump range:
- Obsolete LSA-S pump assemblies with item numbers 00, 02, 16 and 18 (i.e. 0570X-00, 0570X-02, 0570X-16, 0570-18)
- Designate LSA-S pump assemblies as the standard default with item numbers 08 and 10, (i.e. 0570X-08, 0570X-10)
2 Compatibility
LSA-S pump range: Pumps with the Throat Bushing (TB) stuffing box design can replace pumps with the Forward Flush (FF) stuffing box design. The required flow rate will be less as indicated in the LSA maintenance manual.

| Rubber Parts Transition Moves Forward
The transition from Linatex to Tega Rubber LCC Parts is moving along. Below is a brief summary of the current status and availability:
- Tega GN50R material code replaces Linatex LX40R and LD50R material codes.
- The LCC24 rubber casing liners had the highest priority. They became available July 2011.
- LCC16 liners became available August 2011.
- Availability of LCC12 and LCC20 liners expected by September 2011.
- First piece liners for LCC9 by September 2011. Availability by October 2011.
- For LCC26 and LCC28, we have a heavy supply of LX40R liners and LD50R impellers. Therefore, LX40R and LD50R part numbers will remain active until inventory levels are depleted.
- Rubber impellers for referenced sizes will lag behind the liners three to four months.
- All Tega parts will remain colored "Red" and parts are inter-changeable.
