Sykes Group (headquartered in Perth, Australia) announces the release of the Sykes Acoustic Stackable Pumpset to complement its extensive range of high performing and efficient pumps.
The new product has automatic priming, solids handling capability and comes with 316 stainless steel wear plates and impeller as standard, enabling use for mildly corrosive fluids.
The stackable frame takes space efficiency and convenience to a whole new level, with the ability to stack pump units two high.
Key to this design is the ease of use. The pump can be operated without having to open doors; with the control panel, throttle control, suction and discharge pressure gauges all accessible from the outside. Servicing is trouble-free with all drain ports fitted with isolation valves and hosed to the outside of the acoustic canopy.
Powered by a fuel-efficient Perkins 400 Series or 1100 Series engine, oil change intervals are up to 500 hours, making not only the total cost of ownership lower but also a solid choice for the environmentally conscious.
With two external emergency stop buttons, a fire extinguisher recess and its robust design, safety is a key feature of this pumpset.
Over 50 years of innovative design and manufacturing their own equipment has given Sykes Group invaluable knowledge of how pumps operate in the most challenging and diverse environments. Sykes pumps are regarded worldwide as one of the most efficient dewatering pumps on the market. Feedback from the field helps their team refine their products that have been recognised around the world.
Glen Priestley, General Manager Pumps says, “We are excited to release the acoustic stackable to the market. We have taken an already great product and incorporated new features our customers have asked for and what is always expected of a Sykes acoustic pump – quiet, reliable, efficient, with automatic priming and material options for corrosion and abrasion resistance.”
