Here's one for any dewatering enthusiasts out there - or for anyone who has clients working in muddy and rain-sodden jobsites - as Atlas Copco announces the launch of a new range of Emergency Trash Pumps (ETP).
The new pumps provide a robust and portable solution for fast and reliable water removal in challenging environments. Designed for construction, mining, quarrying and other industrial dewatering applications - the ETP range offers dedicated models for clean water and dirty water handling.
The petrol powered Emergency Trash Pumps are engineered to perform in situations where water contains higher levels of solid debris, such as sediments, organic matter, sand and stones. Compact, lightweight and easy to deploy, EPT pumps provide contractors and site operators with a rapid-response dewatering solution when uptime is critical.
The ETP range comprises seven models, enabling users to select the most appropriate pump for their application. Clean water units are ideal for water transfer, tank filling and system cleaning applications, offering flow rates up to 1,600l/min and up to 60m maximum head, with maximum suction rates of 7m. These models can handle solids up to 8mm in diameter and feature durable aluminium components for ease of deployment.
ETP wastewater models are engineered to handle solids up to 29mm in diameter. Built with cast iron frames and impellers, these pumps are designed to withstand harsh operating conditions and maintain stability - even in floodwater. They deliver flow rates up to 1,300l/min at up to 30m maximum head and achieve the same maximum suction rates as the clean water units.
The ETP range is part of Atlas Copco’s broader portfolio, which includes dewatering pumps, generators, energy storage systems and light towers designed to support demanding industrial and construction applications worldwide.
