Atlas Copco
Atlas Copco’s new small range of WEDA pumps provides fast and efficient dewatering. In addition to the original nine pumps, the WEDA04 and WEDA08 provide drainage pumping, with the WEDA08S for sludge pumping. The WEDA04 drainage pump is equipped with a 400-watt electric motor, while the WEDA08 features a 750-watt electric motor. The polyurethane semi-vortex impeller reduces the risk of clogging, making it ideal for construction sites or industrial pits. Both models were designed with built-in motor protection, high torque capacitor and a three-terminal automatic cutoff to prevent motor overload and dry burning. Featuring a 400-watt electric motor, the Atlas Copco WEDA04B residual pump has the ability to pump down to 1 mm of water. It is well suited for applications requiring low-suction pumping such as emptying pools or flooding cleanup. A rubber-coated bottom plate protects against scratches or damages.

BJM Pumps
BJM Pumps’ KZN heavy-duty submersible slurry pumps are uniquely engineered for industries challenged with the toughest of conditions. A more robust construction and design make the KZN able to perform even in harsh environments. The agitator, wear plate and semi-open impeller are all constructed of abrasive-resistant, 28 percent chrome iron (600 Brinell, 57 Rockwell C). The agitator helps keep solids suspended in liquid and helps prevent the pump from clogging, reducing capital and operating costs. A top discharge and slim design allow for an easy fit into tight, thin spaces. The KZN has a Class H motor insulation, double silicon carbide mechanical seals and heavy-duty lip seal. Volutes are cast from hardened ductile iron. Applications include lime slurries, mill scale, coal runoff sumps, ash down sumps, ash transfer, tailings ponds, slag pits, food wastes, silt removal, sand and gravel dewatering and barge and tank cleanout.

Gorman-Rupp Co.
The Gorman-Rupp line of Prime Aire Plus pumps employs the same venturi/compressor priming system as the Prime Aire line. Increased head, flow and enhanced maintenance features are additional benefits. Models feature up to 8-in. flanged discharge sizes, provide flows up to 4,950 gpm, heads to 475 ft and are suitable for both clear liquids and liquids containing large solids. All PAH Series pumps are available coupled to the latest EPA Tier-compliant engines or premium efficiency electric motors. The pumps feature externally adjustable running clearances (on solids-handling models) and an integral seal oil chamber, as well as a ductile iron body and impeller. Two lip seals and atmospheric vent assure bearing protection. The models also offer oil-lubricated versus grease-lubricated bearings and the ability to fit other pumping installations. A fuel level monitoring system is available on Tier 4 Interim engine-driven models. For more information, visit www.GRpumps.com.

Griffin
Griffin non-clog pumps are an ideal solution for sewer bypasses, sumping or any other application requiring high volume and the ability to move trash laden effluent. The pumps feature non-clog impellers which are capable of handling stringy materials and solids up to 4 in. and larger, as well as large clean-out ports so contractors can remove large debris without the need to remove the suction pipe or hose. There are many options with Griffin’s pump line including both vacuum assist or compressor prime and the choice of electric- or diesel-powered engines. Most models boost internal fuel tanks for 24-hour operation. Trailer mounted and sound-attenuated options are also available on certain models. The pumps’ rugged, quality construction allow them to operate efficiently in a wide variety of conditions. For more information, visit www.griffinpump.com.

Honda Power Equipment
Honda’s construction — or trash — pumps are specially designed for jobsites and applications where high volume trash water capacity is required. Honda’s construction pumps are also ideal for heavy-duty commercial and agricultural applications. The WT series pumps offer an easy-starting and reliable OHV commercial-grade engine, rugged full frame protection, quick release clean-out and durable silicon carbide mechanical seals. The WT trash pumps also include: a unique conical-shaped cast iron impeller for improved priming and durability; replaceable stainless-steel wear plates for extended life; long-life silicon carbide water seals; lightweight cast aluminum pump housing; high performance mounts, which minimize vibration; and a convenient multi-tool for on-site pump servicing and clean-out. A unique combination of features such as a die-cast aluminum case, special rock channel for solids to easily pass and rugged neoprene diaphragm ensure performance and durability. Each model is protected by Honda’s Oil Alert system. For more information, visit www.powerequipment.honda.com.

Thompson Pump
Thompson Pump offers the 6-in., solids-handling 6JSCEN pump. The portable 6JSCEN pump is designed for high flows and delivers flow rates up to 2,700 gpm, heads to 195 ft and solids handling to 3 in. The 6JSCEN is ideal for applications requiring high pressure, easy mobility and accessibility where space is limited without sacrificing flow and performance. The portable pump is part of the Compact Series which offers all the features of the Thompson Pump JSC Series with the added benefits of a smaller compact size, lighter weight, fewer parts, less maintenance and lower price. The 6JSCEN offers Thompson Pump’s exclusive Enviroprime System. The Enviroprime System provides ultra-reliable, automatic initial priming and re-priming.

Wacker Neuson
Wacker Neuson’s 2-in., PT 2 series of centrifugal trash pumps are versatile, lightweight units that can pump up to 172 gpm with solids up to 1 in. The PT 2 weighs 96 lbs and is powered by a 6-hp WM Wacker Neuson engine. The PT 2A also weighs 96 lbs and is equipped with a 5.5-hp Honda engine. The PT 2H has a 4.6-hp Hatz diesel engine and weighs in at 131 lbs. The PT 2 series features a hardened ductile iron impeller and volute with a patented volute insert that provides a rugged, easy-to-maintain pump that will stay on the job longer.  The compact, lightweight design, using high-strength aluminum housing with easy access and large fill and drain plugs, provides extra years of trouble-free operation. A radial-flow design produces high volume and head for superior pump performance. For more information, visit www.wackerneuson.com.
