The Ni-HARD series

submersible slurry pumps for rugged usage

Slurry revival is an essential part of day-to-day operations in a wide range

of industries, such as mining, ore dressing, sand contracting, ash handling
and steel milling. The applications in these industries make heavy demands
on slurry pumps, particularly in terms of the cost incurred when it comes
to wear and tear, repairs and maintenance. In Ni-HARD series of pumps
the wet end, indeed all wear parts, are made of Ni-HARD which provides
complete wear protection.

Higher pump efficiency over time

State-of-the-art technology makes MBH Ni-HARD series pumps extremely

efficient & highly dependable. Innovative features such as the unique
adjusting Impeller clearance system provides low cost of ownership.

Less downtime

The excellent Solid handling capability of our channel-impeller pumps

guarantees maximum operating time and substantial reductions in
maintenance costs caused by pump jamming or clogging.

Lifelong reliability

The NI-HARD series pumps are designed for continuous pumping under
the most difficult operating conditions. The well-proven design is based
on our long experience in the waste water and slurry related industries.

Why Submersible ?
The submersible concept offers numerous benefits over dry-mounted
pumps. As it doesn’t require any support superstructure, it requires less
space for operation and is very easy to install. Being submersible means its
flood-proof. Operating underwater also means quiet operation. On top of
that, the time for maintenance can be greatly reduced.

The Ni-Hard Series Submersible pumps are made to operate over the
complete pump curve, not just one specific duty point. This means that
the pump can be used in numerous applications within its range, instead
of being “one pump-one application”.

 Extensive Range of MBH wastewater pumps now comes with Optimal cooling solution for various pumping
applications. This comprehensive selection of pump options will provide optimal performance and power,
while reducing operating costs and simplifying maintenance.

Cooling is a key aspect of submersible pump performance. MBH offers several types of cooling systems, including
advanced closed loop cooling, which delivers the ultimate flexibility and reliability.

Closed-loop cooling system with glycol cooling

MBH closed loop cooling system uses the latest technology to secure industry leading performance. It is suited to all
DRY-INSTALLATIONS, as well as wet installations where the motor is not sufficiently submerged. Coolant is circulated
between the inner and outer cooling jacket, down to the cooling bottom. The main strength of closed-loop cooling is
that it is not sensitive to impurities in the pumped media. The close loop ensures the coolant is never contaminated.
The Heat from stator body is transferred to the coolant, and the coolant at the same time is pumped at high speed
inside the jacket with the help of specially designed 3D printed Impeller.

The coolant in the closed loop system is a precise mixture of pure distilled water and a special glycol formulation.
It has excellent heat transfer and corrosion resistance properties and is freeze-proof upto -45 C.

Now ask for Closed loop jacketed submersible pumps for all variety of MBH submersible waste water pumps as an
option.

Design
Bearings
The bearing arrangements with double angular contact ball bearings
with deep groove ball bearings give the best resistance to the radial
and axial thrust load combination & generously oversized to give
extended life when pumping
high specific gravity slurries.

Moisture Detection Probe

The moisture detector indicates any moisture penetration into the
motor.

Thermal Motor Protection

Built-in temperature sensors enable tripping of the motor if the
temperature rises above 110 deg. C and restarts at 90 deg. C, giving
complete dry run protection.

Double Mechanical Seals

All “MBH” pumps have as standard equipment double mechanical
seals which seal off the motor from the pump section. The seal has
seal faces made from silicon carbide for long life. The design of the
oil chamber ensures efficient cooling of the seals.

Shaft with Rotor

Rotor is designed with two cage such that it take care of starting
torque to handle thick slurry and A shaft with a die-cast rotor on the
motor side and a shaft protection sleeve on the pump side, ensures
better life for the shaft. The compact seal arrangement has minimised
shaft over-hang and consequently minimises shaft deflection.

Wet Parts
Wet parts like volute, impeller & agitator are of Ni-hard or SS 316 de-
pend on slurry to be handled & impeller is open type such that there
is no chance to block the pump.

Cable
The cable has a special triple protection with waterproof insulation
as such is much more resistant against damage. The IP68 rated cable
gland seals against both the inner and outer sheathes. It is almost
impossible for water to ingress to the electrical connections.

 Accessories
Hose
MBH recommends all its submersible slurry pumps are suspended
on chains, followed by a length of reinforced flexible slurry hose pipe,
before connecting to any rigid pipe. This enables the pump to operate
correctly when it is in thick heavy slurries, as when the pump is
started and slurry has settled around it there is chance of vibrations.
As the pump is suspended on chains, the vibration doesn’t harm the
pump and the surrounding structure, allowing standing water to get
to the impeller.

MBH hoses are supplied with PN 16 flanges on both ends as standard.

Lifting Chain (with Shackles)

Custom made lifting chains are recommended so the slurry pump is
lifted from a single point. This means that the pump remains vertical
at all times, and is not lifted on an angle, which can happen on site
if only one of the lifting points is used. Additionally when starting
the pump when it is submerged in settled slurry it allows the pump
to vibrate as described above.

As it is a submersible pump the shackles and chain unit come in a

galvanised finish to minimise corrosion and maximise working life.

The chain unit is supplied with two shackles to couple it directly

to the Pump.

Control Panel
We at MBH, understand the Investment a customer is making in
buying our Submersible Ni-Hard series pumps and for getting
optimum output of your investment, we recommend you to opt for
our Control Max series Control panels.

The MBH fully automatic control panel has Two main modes
of operation.

1. Manual mode
The operation can start Stop the pump as required.
2. Automatic with level control switches or Float switch
When the high level Sensor is activated, the pump will start.
When the low current relay senses the drop in power the
pump will stop.

In option to these we can also offer Fully automated PLC based

Control panels with Timer Start Features.

All MBH panels Protect against :

• Earth leakage faults - damage to the cable or pump
• current overload of the pump
• Phase imbalance - voltage variation of the incoming supply phases
• phase rotation - to ensure the pump runs in the correct direction
• phase loss- the loss of one or more of the incoming phases
• under voltage - if the incoming voltage is too low
• over voltage - if the incoming voltage is too high

Agitator Details
MBH Ni-hard slurry pump is fitted with agitator which
eliminates solids accumulating on the sump floor
and can significantly reduce maintenance costs
resulting from digging out sumps and downtime
due to solids building up and choking off the suction
of conventional pumps. it is because of MBH Agitator blade
that the highest efficiency in material mixing can be achieved.

Heavy duty blades situated in Front of the pump’s suction

agitates, chops, cuts shreds incoming solids such as metal,
plastic, wood, solid waste prior to them entering the impeller.
The Agitator eliminates the pump and system from
getting clogged.

Best Operating Practice

To ensure that you get the best performance from your
MBH Submersible Slurry Pump, we recommend that you Cable
follow the best practice procedures laid out on this page.

Correct Installation Example Pump

• A good water to slurry ratio

• Sump level control - If the sump empties, the pump should
switch itself off via the automatic control panel. The pump
will switch on via a float switch or timer when the level rises
• Pump should not exceed 20 starts per hour
• The pump should be suspended by chains at least 200 mm C-Bend
from base of the sump to ensure maximum concentration
of solids pumped

Power Supply & Servicing

Always ensure that the pump is correctly connected and protected by using the MBH
Fully Automatic Control System which has Earth Fault Leakage Protection.

The pump should be inspected as per the recommendations in the operating and
maintenance manual.

Incorrect Installation Examples
