Pump and dredging specialist IPR has announced that it has been appointed as a distributer of the Toyo heavy duty slurry submersible pumps range in Southern Africa by Toyo Pumps Europe (TPE).

TPE selected IPR as its official distributor in the region based on the company’s established presence and reputation and capacity to support customers, said TPE business development representative Edoardo Palmisano. Increasing sales in Africa is an important part of TPE’s development strategy, he added. Based in Belgium, TPE is a subsidiary of Japanese company Toyo Denki Industrial, which manufactures Toyo pumps. TPE manages the distribution of Toyo pumps in Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Palmisano highlighted the value of IPR not only selling Toyo pumps but also renting them to customers and asserted that the Toyo brand is recognised globally owing to its high quality, robust construction and efficiency in dealing with abrasive material, offering the largest range in this type of heavy duty slurry pump.

“Africa is a continent with important economic growth potential, and as a future market for our pumps, is important,” he says, adding that, as one of the most advanced countries on the continent, South Africa’s potential justifies a specific effort. In particular, continued development will require growing investments in mining, construction and other industries, and will include dredging works.

“TPE is mainly present in north, western and central Africa with pumps in applications such as dredging and transporting slurries and other abrasive liquids,” says Palmisano. “We have also been selling Toyo pumps in South Africa, but not through a continuous local distribution channel.”

IPR rental development manager Ruaan Venter highlights the benefit to customers of having access to the Toyo range. The heavy duty slurry pumps are engineered to deal with solids that have settled out of fluid suspension, he explains, a situation where conventional pumps often fail.

“The pumps feature a patented built-in agitator that lifts the sediments and creates a homogenous slurry mixture which enables continuous pumping of slurries with high solids concentrations,” notes Venter.
