Comprehensive water treatment and monitoring solutions
Small, lightweight seal-less plastic pumps for the safe handling of corrosive chemicals.
General-purpose, seal-less, chemical-resistant pumps for medium-duty chemical applications.
Leak-free, compact, variable frequency chemical pumps for applications where process control is crucial.
Sealless, plastic-lined pumps ideal for outdoor applications in utilities, chemical and wastewater treatment processing.
Reinforced, high-capacity pumps used for handling large volumes in chemical unloading and transfer applications.
Heavy-duty process pumps with metallic armor and PFA-lining for handling high-purity aggressive chemicals up to 150 degrees.
Mechanically-sealed thermoplastic pumps suited to larger flowrates and applications with solids.
A compact horizontal end-suction pump suited to small-scale applications with minimal flow of corrosive or aggressive chemicals.
Rugged chemical pumps that mount internally or externally. Seal-less , patented run-dry design. Machined from solid plastic with 2-year warranty.
Built for low flow, higher-head applications for highly corrosive chemical transfer over long distances or at higher pressure.
Positive-displacement pumps that transfer medium-high viscosity fluids with minimal lubricating properties and no suspended solids.
Corrosion-resistant, durable submersibles used to transfer clean or slightly contaminated water up to 40 degrees.
Self-priming, multi-stage pumps offering low NPSH for medium-to-high-pressure applications for fluids with high gas content.
Wangen's KL-S, KB-S and KB22S self-priming PC pumps convey high viscous media up to 200,000mPA-s with or without solids. The KB22S is designed specifically for dosing.
Prime Fluid Management supplies genuine parts for our pump brands, holding stock of common wear parts in New Zealand.
Here are some examples of our solutions being used.
At Prime Fluid Management, we understand that every fluid management challenge brings unique considerations. Here, you’ll find clear, practical answers and expert guidance to help you maximise uptime, achieve regulatory compliance, extend equipment life, and implement the most effective solution for your site.
On a lot of drawings and pump schedules, dry-prime pump or dry-prime dewatering pump is used as shorthand for a surface pump that can handle air and doesn’t need manual priming. In practice, the auto-prime units that Prime Fluid supplies are vacuum-assisted pumps with a dedicated priming system, so they meet the intent of most “dry prime” specs while giving you a modern, quieter and more efficient package.
Auto-prime units are usually the better option when the pump has to sit above the water, suction conditions might change, or you expect a lot of air to enter the line during setup and operation. A self-priming dewatering pump or submersible can still be the right choice on simpler, more static jobs, and Prime can talk you through which option will be more reliable and cost-effective for your site.
Yes – Prime can supply auto-prime packages as diesel dewatering pump sets or electric sets, depending on what power you have available and how the system will run. With the right control panel and level sensors, those same units can be configured as an automated pump or “auto water pump” that starts and stops itself, which is helpful on remote or 24/7 sites where you don’t want someone constantly watching the pump.
Auto-prime units are a good fit for temporary flood control pumps because they can be moved quickly, cope with long suction and discharge lines, and re-prime themselves as water levels change. Prime Fluid can set up high-flow Auto-prime Pump solutions for New Zealand councils and contractors that form part of a wider flood or stormwater contingency plan.
To match an Auto-Prime Pump New Zealand job, one of our sales engineers will usually ask for your required flow, total dynamic head, suction depth, discharge route, expected solids size and how long the pump needs to run. If your documents mention terms like autoprime dewatering pumps, auto vacuum pump or use a generic “dry prime” note, sending those details through with a simple sketch of the setup helps the team recommend the most suitable package for your project.
