Thompson Pump and Manufacturing Company, one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of heavy-duty portable diesel-powered bypass and dewatering pumps, debuted its 6” rotary wellpoint pump (Model: 6RW-DIS-4LE2T-X) at this year’s CONEXPO-Con/AGG trade show in Las Vegas.

The Thompson Pump rotary wellpoint pumps are the “original” rotary wellpoint pumps designed by the company’s co-founder, George Thompson, and trusted by contractors worldwide for decades. With unassisted priming and automatic re-priming, the 6RW pump features high air handling and large water volume capabilities – up to 1,400 gpm and heads up to 80 feet; operating speeds up to 2,000 rpm; and a low HP engine for better fuel efficiency – an EPA Final Tier 4 Isuzu engine (Model: 4LE2T), with diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) after treatment.

The 6RW pump is designed for wellpoint and sock dewatering applications, and can be used in place of a comparable 6” vacuum or piston pump, making it a cost-effective dewatering option.

“This 6” version was created, in part, due to the high demand to expand the rotary pump family’s dewatering capabilities,” said Chris Thompson, President of Thompson Pump and Manufacturing Company.

For more information on the 6RW model please contact the Thompson Pump factory for details. There is also an 8RW and 12RW version. The pumps are equipped with abrasion and corrosion resistant parts, polyurethane rotors, and stainless steel wear plates that can handle intense industrial and plant applications.

Thompson Pump and Manufacturing Company, a family-owned company currently celebrating its 50th year in business, is a full-service manufacturer and provider of high-quality pumps, pumping equipment and engineering expertise for bypass pumping, dewatering, mining and flood control.
