Equipment advancements improve water, electricity use

In conjunction with engineers Carleton Engineering Services, pump manufacturer Hawk High Pressure Pumps has designed a new stope water jetter, which is traditionally used by the mining industry to move rock with water. The new design, which was first introduced in 2011, is gaining popularity in the South African market as it focuses on increasing the equipment’s efficiency and improving its ease of use and maintenance, says Hawk MD Gavin Pote.
