Powered by a 129kW Iveco engine, the unit is capable of heads up to 105m, with a maximum flow rate of 320m3/hr (or 89 litres/sec) and noise levels down to an average of 70 dBA at 7m. The pump is set to run at 1800 rpm which means that fuel costs can be lower and engine noise reduced, Sykes says.
When operating at best efficiency point, the fuel consumption is 21 litres/hr.
Pump development director Chris Graham said: “For a number of years now, we’ve made a very deliberate effort in bringing new pumps to the market that have a clear focus on sound attenuation, durability and fuel economy. It has been possible to develop this new Wispaset pump by understanding the unique needs our clients have in extremely demanding industries and market sectors. Our new MH150/100 pumps ensure clients do not have to choose between productivity, efficiency and having an environmental conscience.”
