Atlas Copco’s super high head game-changer range Atlas Copco has unveiled its new robust lineup of PAS-PAC H/SH super-high-head portable pumps, designed to overcome Africa’s harshest environments and sustainably elevate operations to new heights of efficiency. W ith an industry-leading 235 m maximum head and ex- ceptional flow rates up to 1 980 m³/h, Atlas Copco’s low maintenance, and ultimately, a lower total cost of ownership.

isn’t an option, Atlas Copco’s PAS-PAC H/ SH super high head portable pumps stand head and shoulders above the rest, tackling challenges that others can’t. The ability of these workhorses to deliver high levels of reliability, efficiency and cost-effectiveness drives maximum and measurable return on investment. Boasting class-leading super high heads and maximum flows, these robust, pre- mium-quality pumps are the backbone of operations where high performance and unwavering reliability aren’t just priorities: they’re everything. www.atlascopcogroup.com

All engine service points, including criti- cal wear components, are easily accessible on the super-high-head pumps, streamlining maintenance. This effortless upkeep supports continuous operation and ultimately boosts productivity. The heavy-duty diaphragm vacuum pump, with an optional compressor for priming, delivers long-lasting perfor- mance. The integrated mechanical seal oil bath extends dry running capability, further enhancing operational reliability. When only peak performance and abso- lute reliability are required and downtime

super-high-head pumps are engineered for maximum performance and efficiency. Purpose-built to withstand the harsh realities of Africa’s open-pit and underground min- ing environments, the rugged PAS-PAC H/ SH high-pressure pumps are engineered for exceptional reliability and durability, excel- ling in the management of a wide range of demanding dewatering and liquid handling applications across diverse sectors. Atlas Copco understands not only pumps, pump technologies and their wide-ranging applications but also the end-users who rely on these products. “As a recognised and trusted authority in portable pumping solu- tions, Atlas Copco offers a comprehensive portfolio of diesel- and electric-driven pumps engineered for exceptional durability and long service life,” states Theuns Viljoen, Business Development Manager at Atlas Copco Power Technique. Equipped with cutting-edge features and engineered to maintain peak performance and high flow volumes under extreme pres - sures across various industries, the PAS-PAC H/SH high-pressure pumps excel in the most challenging conditions, ensuring productivity while significantly reducing operational costs. Viljoen emphasises that, thanks to their versatile design, a single pump can efficiently handle multiple high-pressure tasks ranging from groundwater control and flood manage - ment to site dewatering and tank filling. “Built to handle abrasive materials, these robust high heads can handle liquids and media for varying specific gravity, acidity and composi - tion specific to mines.” Viljoen also highlights the new PAC H cen- trifugal surface pump’s capability to handle liquids containing solids of up to 89 mm. “This makes the unit particularly well suited to industrial applications such as water transfer in the oil & gas, quarrying, construction and municipal sectors.” The heavy-duty construction of these super-high-head pumps comprises a wear-, corrosion-, and impact-resistant galvanised skid and engine cover, providing robust pro- tection and supporting an extended lifespan,

Atlas Copco high-head portable pumps feature an industry-leading maximum pressure head of 235 m and exceptional flow rates.
