Prime performers from Atlas Copco
At the heart of Atlas Copco’s PAS (Pumping Application Solutions) centrifugal pumps is a system comprising a pump and a SuperDuo separator. This is
designed to enable air to be separated from the liquid and then sucked up by a vacuum pump. The system makes automatic priming possible, even with suction heights of several metres, the company states. The machine rapidly evacuates the air from the suction pipe and starts
to pump. Having a semi-open impeller, the machines are also suitable for dealing with liquids containing solids in suspension. The line-up includes 4in, 6in, 8in and 12in models.

Makita’s submersible pumps can be used for dewatering cellars and trenches, with selected models designed to handle dirty or heavily contaminated water. The electric PF1010 and PF0410 can deal with water containing particles of up to 35mm in size, often encountered in the aftermath of a flood. The EW2051H and EW3051H 4-stroke models
incorporate Makita’s ‘mini’ MM4 engine. This is designed to minimise fuel wastage as the exhaust and outlet are never open at the same time, so fuel is recycled back into the engine rather than being lost through the exhaust port.
