  • Transferring viscous waste in a brewery
    Staff at a UK brewery had to manually empty mash waste from the equipment, costing time and energy. A pump was needed which could handle the highly viscous material at the production facility. Having approached a number of companies, a solution was provided which eliminated the labour intensive process and improved efficiency.
  • Moving the waters for tunnel construction
    The largest civil engineering project in Ireland entailed building a road tunnel under a roaring tidal river. The massive components had to be prepared in advance and floated into place. This involved moving thousands of gallons of water, so SPP Pumps were brought in to make the crossing possible.
  • Durable pump design for a hostile environment
    When an Arizona power plant wanted to increase the capacity of pumps used to avoid the possibility of overflow, it was imperative the pumps be protected from the elements, making conventional solutions untenable. However, fluid handling consultancy, Quadna Inc, came up with the answer.
  • Dewatering in deep tunnel construction
    The Marmaray project, linking the European and Asian sides of Istanbul will be the world’s deepest immersed tube tunnel. The industry’s drive to create ever deeper tunnels has placed increasing demands on dewatering and construction equipment. Tsurumi rose to the challenge with its ‘puddle sucker’ LSC series.
  • Chemical handling: Low maintenance high expectation
    Diversified Chemical Technologies supplies its products to many successful brands, but it believed that its production facilities could be more efficient. Aiming to improve maintenance downtime, streamline operations and eliminate waste of any kind it approached Wilden and Griswold to provide the solution.

TowerLight dry vac self priming pumps for hire

22 February 2010

Tool and equipment hire firm Speedy has invested £500,000 in a range of dry vacuum assisted centrifugal pumps from TowerLight, an Italian manufacturer of industrial lighting equipment and contractors’ pumps

The 4 in MVSS300 and 6 in MVSS350 are new pumps in the MVSS range. The pumps feature a mechanical seal and a twin-blade impeller. Both are dry vacuum, fully self priming units. Each model has an adjustable and replaceable front wear plate and the long-run fuel tanks are fully bunded to protect against oil spills.

The self priming pumps are powered by the Perkins 403C-15G diesel engine and housed in a noise-reducing canopy, with operating sound levels recorded at 65 decibels at 7 metres.
The diaphragm and viton valves are maintenance free for up to 2,000 hours, including the need to re-fill with oil or water.
The dry vac self priming pumps from TowerLight are suitable for a range of applications, including heavy sewage, construction and civil engineering.
