Integrated Pump Technology has delivered its first two Godwin pump units to a major gold mining operation in north-western Tanzania, marking a milestone for the brand’s growing footprint across Africa.
“The Godwin range continues to gain traction in the region, proving its reliability and performance inharsh operating conditions. Given the acidic nature of the underground water at this site, we recommended a stainless steel configuration for the pump’s internal components,” says JD Nel, Godwin Product Manager at Integrated Pump Technology.

Strong presence
A key factor in the project was Integrated Pump Technology’s strong local presence through its fully Tanzanian-owned distributor, Pinnacle Engineering Solutions, based in Mwanza near the mine site. The two Godwin HL250M Dri-Prime diesel-driven pumps were selected to transfer water to a holding dam at a rate of 550 m³ per hour over a 70 metre discharge head. Nel notes that the Godwin HL250M units are more than capable of this duty and can deliver up to 790 m³ per hour at the same head if conditions require.
“This additional capacity is critical during the rainy season, when underground water inflows can rise dramatically,” he explains. “The mine needed a solution that could scale up quickly without adding infrastructure or equipment, and the Godwin pumps provide exactly that.”
