Atlas Copco developed a new range of electric self-priming dewatering pumps for applications such as mining.
According to Atlas Copco, its new E-Pumps manage demanding flows and large solids with a reduced carbon footprint and lower total cost of ownership. The E-Pump range, which includes the PAC high-head and high-flow models, offers an electric alternative to diesel-powered dewatering pumps, the company says. The E-Pump range allows users to reduce their carbon footprint and operate in emission-restrictive areas with no fuel consumption.
Atlas Copco says the need for dewatering pumps that can operate in noise-sensitive and low-emission zones is growing because of environmental regulations. The E-Pumps enable operators to reduce energy consumption and noise generation under normal operating conditions, the company adds.
The company says one of the most significant cost benefits of the E-Pump range is its compact size for storage. With a reduced footprint, PAC electric models offer increased transport and storage efficiency.
“The PAC line of automatic self-priming dewatering pumps is an exciting addition to the electric-powered range of products from Atlas Copco,” says Hunter Powell, product and applications manager for pumps at Atlas Copco. “With a lower investment cost and low operational costs, they are a great choice for both long- and short-term dewatering projects.”
