MULTIQUIP’s new InstaPrime pumps are designed for moving large quantities of water quickly and efficiently in a diverse range of applications. The InstaPrime series moves up to 19,000 litres per minute in model sizes ranging from 150 to 300 mm. They are suitable in the dewatering, sludge, sewer-by-pass and well point jobs performed by pumping contractors, councils and rental operators.
Among the InstaPrime’s new features is a patented screw-type impeller for increased flow using the same horsepower as many competitive models.
The pumps eliminate the need for wear parts and each is fitted with a 563 litre fuel tank for extended continuous run times of up to 100 hours. Powered by 40-96 hp Deutz diesel engines, these high-flow InstaPrime pumps showcase heads of up to 43m and can generate lift of 9m in 30 seconds.
Each also handles solids up to 91 mm, pump and priming system drain valves to eliminate the risk of water freezing in the unit, and a water lube vacuum pump to prevent oil leaks and other unwanted priming discharge.
A host of accessories are offered with each InstaPrime model. These include suction hoses, quick disconnect fittings and discharge hoses.
