Product Overview

  The FQW-type mine-use pneumatic submersible pump (formerly known as BQF and FWQB models) is an advanced pneumatic drainage device developed based on a centrifugal pump design and powered by compressed air. It features a coaxial connection between the rotor and the pump body, adopts a vertical, bottom-pump configuration, and complies with the standard Q/JNAT001-2016. This pump boasts advantages such as a compact structure, ease of mobility, convenient assembly and disassembly, simple maintenance, small size, strong wastewater discharge capability, large flow rate, and high head. It is suitable for drainage operations in environments where there is a risk of gas and coal dust explosions and can be widely used at any working face underground in coal mines. The pump is capable of conveying groundwater containing solid particles such as sewage, coal dust, and silt. It is safe and reliable, and effectively improves air quality on-site.

 Mine-use pneumatic submersible pump

  The volute of the FQW-type pneumatic submersible pump adopts a highly efficient and energy-saving hydraulic model, and its impeller features a specially designed configuration. This pump boasts strong sewage-discharging capability, is resistant to blockages caused by the intake of solid particles or fibrous materials, and will not suffer premature damage from the ingestion of particulate media. It delivers excellent performance with low air consumption.

Structural Features and Working Principle of the FQW Series Mine-Use Pneumatic Submersible Pump

The mine-use pneumatic submersible pump mainly consists of three parts: the pump body, the air motor, and the flow passage.

1. Pump Body Section: The pump body is divided into upper and lower chambers, separated by a sealing ring that isolates the air from the water. The sealing ring employs a spring-sealed design, and utilizes the pressure of both air and water to force high-pressure air and water into the inner walls of the upper and lower sealing rings, causing them to expand inward and thereby enhancing the sealing effect.

2. Pneumatic Motor Section: Composed of a rotor, turbine, upper and lower cylinders, bearings, and other components. Powered by compressed air, the turbine delivers an impact that drives the rotor to rotate at high speed and perform work.

3. Flow-through section: Composed of the turbine, pump cover suction port, pump base, and other components. The turbine is mounted on the rotor shaft in the lower cavity of the housing. Compressed air is fed into the inlet port, and as the rotor spins, it drives the turbine. Under the action of centrifugal force, the water inside the turbine is pressed into the discharge volute within the housing and then discharged through the outlet pipe.

Special structural point:

The FQW/W-type (formerly FWQB-type) pneumatic submersible pump for mining has broken through previous conventional design concepts by adopting a pneumatic turbine transmission and using compressed air as its power source. This new type of submersible pump overcomes the shortcomings of older pneumatic pumps, such as high noise levels, excessive air consumption, and low efficiency. It is widely applicable to mine shaft development, vertical shaft construction, and drainage operations in underground chambers. Its key features are:

1. Low noise, kept below 40 decibels;

2. Low air consumption and high efficiency;

3. Small in size, lightweight, with a compact structure, and easy to move;

4. Long service life, few wear parts, and easy maintenance.

Q

What is your typical delivery time?

A

Models in stock can be shipped the next day at the latest. All others are custom-made, with lead times generally ranging from 7 to 90 days depending on the product size and project specifics. Please contact our sales manager for details: 0731-88632200 。

Q

Do you have centrifugal pumps in stock?

A

Centrifugal pumps come in numerous models and configurations. Except for a small number of high-volume, standard models that are in stock, the vast majority are not stocked and are customized products. We need to select a pump based on your site's flow rate, head, media temperature, pH value, and installation conditions, etc., to determine the pump model and configuration before we can submit an order to the factory for production.

Q

What information should I provide when requesting a quote?

A

Generally, to obtain an accurate quotation, we recommend providing us with the following information: pump flow rate, head, on-site operating voltage and frequency, temperature, pH value, and solid particle content of the fluid being conveyed, and on-site installation conditions (horizontal or vertical installation), etc.

If you are not sure, don't worry, our business managers will assist you in determining this.

Q

What products do you mainly produce?

A

Zhonglian Pump Industry manufactures various large industrial centrifugal pumps. Main products include: self-balancing multi-stage pumps, multi-stage centrifugal pumps, single-stage centrifugal pumps, split-case pumps, chemical pumps, submersible pumps, pipeline pumps, long-shaft pumps, condensate pumps, etc.

Q

Could you help me with the selection?

A

Certainly! If the water pump model is not selected accurately, there will be big problems. If you choose a smaller one, it won't meet your needs; if you choose a larger one, it will waste electricity and fuel, increasing your costs.

Q

Why is it so slow to get a price quote?

A

Because centrifugal pumps are non-standard customized products with many models, the price range is also very large. Even for the same model, the price difference is also very large due to different materials and configurations. Taking the most common water pump accessory—the impeller—as an example, the price of a stainless steel impeller is several times that of a cast iron impeller. Therefore, we need to clarify the relevant information to give you an accurate price. Normally, if you provide relatively comprehensive information, we can quote within 5 minutes.
