 The concept

More people trust Flygt Bibo

than any other brand

Today, there are more Flygt Bibo dewatering pumps in

operation around the world than any other competitive
brand. In fact, it’s not unusual for an original Flygt Bibo
to turn up on a site, still working after 40 years or more
of excellent service.

Construction
The Flygt Bibo range is the ideal choice for all
construction site dewatering tasks. Whether it is active
dewatering of ground water, with slim line pumps,
passive dewatering of ground water, or the removal of
seawater in a harbour for bridge construction. And
because they are portable, the pumps can simply be
moved to another part of the site, when they have
completed a task.

Mining & quarrying

With over 50 years of experience in some of the most
demanding mines and quarries in the world, the Flygt
Bibo range of pumps have been designed to handle the
toughest conditions. And many models are available in
explosion proof versions, which means they can be used
just about anywhere in a mine that requires dewatering.

Tunnelling
Whether you are tunnelling under a lake, seabed,
mountain range, or city, you need to know that the
pumps removing the water are reliable. That’s why Flygt
Bibo pumps are in operation in tunnelling projects the
world over. Manufactured strictly in accordance with
international standards, a Flygt Bibo pump won’t let
you down, wherever you are.

Other industries
Flygt Bibo pumps can also be found performing general
dewatering duties in many other industries. These
include fish farms, pulp and paper mills, power stations,
shipyards and oil and gas facilities. Often performing
temporary or emergency dewatering tasks, they will
always meet your demands.

Flygt Bibo reputation

The toughest impellers in the business

All Flygt Bibo impellers are manufactured and designed by ITT Flygt.
The high-chromium content and special hardening (to HRC 60) ensure
outstanding wear resistance, prolonged operation at rated
performance and reduced maintenance costs.
Whether you choose an open or semi-open multi-vane impeller with
adjustable diffuser and strainer for abrasive media and demanding
operating conditions, or a stainless steel impeller for corrosive Cables

Discharge options
The discharges are available in a variety
of configurations including hose
connections and threaded for pipe or
quick release couplings.

Internal wear-part protection

All major components subjected to
wear are coated with nitrile rubber,
or polyurethene for extreme abrasion
