PowerPrime Pumps Launches Versatile New SiteMax Pump
Power Prime Pumps recently announced availability of their newest centrifugal pump the SiteMax pump.
The SiteMax pump’s patent-pending features make it ideal and suitable across a wide variety of liquid handling applications. With available skid or trailer mount options, the SiteMax pump is ultra-portable and easy to maneuver through even the most difficult to reach areas. For extra flexibility on site, SiteMax features side-by-side suction intake and discharge connections.
With high-efficiency Kubota engines, SiteMax helps manage operating and labor costs. The large 88.5-gallon fuel tank provides up to 65 hours of continuous runtime, features a Venturi or vacuum priming system and is able to prime and re-prime in less than 20 seconds and prime on long suction lengths (more than 100 feet).
For around-the-clock operations, the SiteMax pump boasts standard sound attenuation at 70 dBA from 23 feet and is noticeably quiet. A high-density polyethylene canopy is standard and greatly reduces operating noise. The canopy is also resistant to excessive damage and denting compared to metal, and offers added protection against vandalism and tampering.
An innovative new impeller design has an exclusive pull/push function that improves performance and efficiency. SiteMax allows for clear water efficiency combined with solids handling up to three inches and reduces clogging even with the most non-compressible or stringy solids. The impeller design also allows SiteMax to pull greater suction lift, thereby improving performance on deep dewatering or sewer bypass lifts. The pump is available in three sizes: 4, 6 and 8 inch.
Other unique features of SiteMax include its double containment fluid basin that holds up to 150 percent of the onboard engine fluids and fuel, and an emergency stop button on the control panel.
To reduce maintenance costs and downtime, PowerPrime Pumps also designed SiteMax with greater part interchangeability and reduced number of individual spare parts; features that are important to customers with large pump fleets like Rain for Rent and rental companies worldwide.
SiteMax is available for purchase direct from PowerPrime or rental at select Rain for Rent branch locations. 661.399.9058, powerprime.com
