AUSTRALIAN Pump Industries has released the high-capacity five centimetre Aussie Quik Prime QP209 pump which is suitable for use in the mining industry.
The Aussie Quik Prime QP209 pump has a maximum flow of 800 L per minute. It is designed to offer a 25% increase in flow rates over conventional five centimetre pumps.
The supplier says the unit offers excellent self-priming characteristics, with the ability to draught water through a 7.6 m vertical lift.
The pump features an open cast iron impeller capable of passing small solids in suspension, which enables it to handle silty water without problems. It is powered by either Honda petrol or Yanmar diesel engines.
