Self-priming Diesel-powered Pump
The newest addition to Godwin Pumps’ HL
series is the HL260M Dri-Prime pump,
capable of flow rates to 4,760 gpm (1810
m3/h) and heads to 500 ft (150 m). The 10
x 8-in. (250 x 200-mm) HL260M is a single-
stage, automatic self-priming centrifugal
pump with solids handling capability to
2-in. (50-mm) in diameter. According to the
company, the Dri-Prime venturi priming system
on the HL260M provides suction lift
capability to 28 ft (8.5 m) and continuous
uninterrupted operation. In addition, its dry
running, double high-pressure oil bath
mechanical seal with abrasion-resistant
solid silicon carbide faces enables the
pump to run indefinitely without overheating.
The skid-mounted HL260M has a single-
point lifting frame and built-in fork truck
pockets are standard on all machines for
easy lifting and transporting. A Godwin
PrimeGuard controller provides remote
monitoring and programmable operations
that start and stop the pump with no operator
intervention required. Other PrimeGuard
features include maintenance reminders,
event history, real-time response to changing
pressure transducer signals and a safety
shutdown system to prevent equipment
damage from engine fault or failure.
