Varisco’s J-Series self-priming centrifugal pumps are ideal for applications requiring rapid priming from high suction heights while handling polluted, waste, and abrasive fluids with suspended solids. Their inspectable pump casing doubles as a water reservoir, enabling quick priming without auxiliary systems, simplifying management and reducing maintenance.
Use Alpha Pompe ORA-A cast-iron, self-priming open impeller pumps for separated or treated effluent. Their straightforward design keeps maintenance simple and wear parts to a minimum.
Very low maintenance and highly dependable, Wangen KL Series of effluent PC pumps perform at very low rpm and features a unique, encapsulated cardon joint that is wear and maintenance-free.
LJM's TPA-Series slurry pump is an economical solution where dry-mounting is an option. Offering built-in cutters for fine shredding of straw and feed residues, the TPA is ideal for liquid manure with very high dry solid content.
Varisco J-Series pumps suit applications that require fast priming from demanding suction heights, and the ability to manage polluted, waste and abrasive fluids with suspended solids.
Designed for agricultural use, Wangen’s PTO shaft pumps vacuum-load, unload and distribute tank manure supplies, or convey liquid feed.
Varisco J-Series pumps suit applications that require fast priming from demanding suction heights, and the ability to manage polluted, waste and abrasive fluids with suspended solids.
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.
It depends on the fluid, temperature, viscosity, and how the tank and pipework are laid out. A flooded suction setup is usually the most stable option for consistent performance, especially with higher viscosity oils, because the pump is always supplied with product.
If the pump needs to draw from a lower level or from a longer suction line, suction lift and self priming capability become important. However, the setup needs to be sized correctly to avoid issues like poor priming, air ingress, or cavitation. If you share your suction conditions and duty point, we can recommend a pump type and configuration that suits the installation.
For fuel and oil applications, reliability often comes down to protecting the pump from pressure spikes and contamination, and selecting the right sealing arrangement. Depending on the pump type and duty, options can include an internal relief or bypass valve to protect against dead heading, and an inline suction strainer to reduce the risk of damage from debris.
Seal selection also matters for demanding services, with configurations such as double mechanical seals used on certain duties where additional containment or reliability is required. We can guide you on what features make sense based on the product, operating conditions, and site requirements.
To specify the right fuel transfer pump for a New Zealand site, we typically need the fuel type, required flow rate, temperature, and viscosity, along with suction conditions such as flooded suction or suction lift.
Once we have those details, we can confirm the most suitable pump type and configuration for your application – including options for heavier fuels where viscosity is higher.
