Atlas Copco has developed a range of electric surface self-priming dewatering pumps for a wide variety of applications.

The new 'E-Pump' range comprises the E PAS and PAC electric models, each offering an all electric/zero CO2 alternative to diesel-powered equipment. This allows customers to reduce their emission footprint and operate in emission-restrictive areas with no fuel consumption at site. The PAC electric pumps will mostly address the North American market, while the canopied E PAS is designed to meet customer needs in Europe.

The E PAS includes an intelligent priming solution that ensures that the priming system only runs when strictly necessary, reducing energy consumption and noise generation under normal operating conditions. The priming system also ensures no carryover contamination, and the canopy set units are up to 120% spillage-free, keeping the workplace and environment clean. 

The operating expense of the E PAS is up to 40% lower, depending on the difference between local diesel and electricity costs. Also, the maintenance and servicing costs of electric motors are substantially lower than diesel engines. However, one of the most significant cost benefits of the E-Pump range is its compact size for storage. With a reduced footprint, canopy set units can also be stacked in a two-plus-one configuration, making them easy to store. In addition, as many as 20 E PAS units can fit into a Euro Truck in a one-plus-one stacking set, resulting in improved operational efficiency for customers.
