A LAUNCH TO BE PUMPED FOR

SOUTHERN PUMPING HAS PARTNERED WITH ORBIT PUMPS TO LAUNCH THE NEW VIGA RANGE, BRINGING A COMPACT AND EFFICIENT HELICAL ROTOR PUMP SOLUTION TO THE MINING INDUSTRY.

In an effort to bolster Australia’s pumping industry, Southern Pumping has teamed up with Franklin Electric's Orbit Pumps to launch the VIGA range.

VIGA is an advanced helical rotor pump designed to reduce downtime, cut energy consumption and thrive in some of the toughest mining environments.

Backed by decades of engineering experience, the partnership gives Orbit a powerful national presence while bolstering Southern Pumping’s growing turnkey solutions portfolio.

For the mining industry, it’s a timely development that promises performance and rapid support.

“We're excited and welcome the opportunity to partner with Franklin Electric on Orbit Pumps and the new VIGA range,” Southern Pumping director Michael Wallace told Australian Mining.

“We're well positioned to represent this product Australia-wide, given our knowledge of the industry, the requirements of clients, and our history with the Orbit brand.”

Having worked with Orbit products for more than 30 years, Wallace said the new VIGA pump — just launched in Australia — is not just an upgrade but a reimagining of what's possible in the progressive cavity space.

The VIGA range is designed for space-constrained sites and fluids with abrasive content or viscosity, making it well suited to mining applications such as dewatering and slurry handling.
