A quick response lately saved the day for an IPR buyer, who needed an pressing contaminated water bypass.
“We immediately despatched a pump rental quote following the customer’s name, and specified four Sykes CP150 medium head dewatering pumps,” says Andre Strydom, rental improvement supervisor at IPR. “These have been delivered and commissioned on web site the following day, with 1,500 m of 150 mm lay-flat hose and all other necessary gear.”
Time was of the essence, as these pumps had to supply 4 bypass water traces for a contaminated water supply which couldn’t be released into the river system. The four Sykes pumps easily maintained a constant circulate price of a hundred ninety m³ per hour over a distance of seven hundred m. They ran on a 24-hour foundation to ensure a constant water move via the 4 pipelines.
Strydom says the Sykes CP150 dewatering pumps have been best for the job. They supply a maximum head of 60 m with a circulate rate of 172 litres per second. It can be capable of dealing with solids with particle sizes of as a lot as seventy seven mm.
“The Sykes CP150 units additionally function subtle automated priming capabilities,” he says. “ Savings are primarily based on a Venturi system that can deliver suction lifts of as a lot as 9 metres.”
The sturdy construction of the pumps ensures optimum reliability and long life. Importantly, they will run dry for prolonged intervals of time without damage. The pumps also boast low gas usage and lower maintenance prices, and may operate in ‘snore’ conditions.

“This time, the necessity was for four high head Sykes XH150 rental pumps,” says Strydom. “They have been delivered on the identical day, with 2,800 m of lay-flat hose with clamps and straight connectors.”
Each of these Sykes additional high head pumps delivered a move of 220 mᵌ/h over 1,200 m. He highlights that the pumps could be primed with long suction hoses and might manage suction lifts of up to nine metres.
The Sykes XH150 dewatering pumps, offering a maximum head of a hundred and seventy m with a most move price of a hundred and forty litres per second and capable of handling solids with particle sizes of up to forty three mm, have been more than suitable for the task.
“The Sykes XH150 pump presents automatic priming and solids dealing with capability,” he says. “It additionally has probably the greatest shaft stiffness ratios of any automatic priming pump available on the market.”
