Locally manufactured suction trailer launched

A 6-inch 4-cylinder suction trailer has been launched by Werner Pumps

A new trailer-mounted 6-inch centrifugal pump unit has been created by South African pump manufacturer Werner Pumps. The unit is designed to pump water and solids in maintenance and troubleshooting applications, such as clearing manholes or dealing with sewage spills.

The non-clogging, self-priming sewage pump unit is 100% locally manufactured and was developed to complement larger jetting trucks. It features a heavy-duty diesel tank, 4-cylinder air-cooled Kirloskar engine, SP6 self-priming sewage pump, heavy-duty strobe light and a side-mounted control panel. Designed for stable performance and reliable operation, the unit operates at 750 rpm to 1 450 rpm with a flow rate of 2 084 l/min to 4 167 l/min, between 5 kW and 30 kW. 

Its back-pull-out construction makes suitable for use in a variety of applications, from pumping rainwater and common sewage to use on municipal drainage projects and construction sites. It is also suited for use in the paper, textile, food processing, chemical, utilities, mining, tanning and water purification industries.

Based in Springs, Gauteng, Werner Pumps specialises in the design, manufacture, supply and maintenance of high-pressure jetting equipment.
