GRUNDFOS MINESCOPE PANELS Grundfos has developed a range of Minescope Control Panels, designed specifically for use within the mining sector. The range is available in two sizes, to cover power ranges 0-30 kW and 37-92 kW – resulting in greater flexibility onsite and allowing operators to use the control panels with a wider range of pump motor sizes. The Minescope control panels are available as ‘off the shelf items’, this allows Grundfos to pass the benefits of economies of scales and scope onto customers in the form of cost savings. The lead times are also reduced by stocking Minescope control panels in numerous regional warehouses to ensure they arrive to site with minimal delay.
