We transform the future together with our customers with leading edge technology in portable air, energy solutions, dewatering and industrial pumps. We innovate to develop products, services, and solutions that are key to our customers’ success.
For construction, mining, quarrying, and other industrial dewatering applications, pumps need to balance the competing requirements of being nimble yet durable. With this in mind, Atlas Copco has launched a new range of Emergency Trash Pumps (ETP) to complement its existing dewatering portfolio. The new pumps provide a robust and portable solution for fast and reliable water removal in challenging environments. Plus, the ETP range offers dedicated models for both clean water and dirty water handling.
DEPENDABLE PERFORMANCE IN DEBRIS
The gas-powered Emergency Trash Pumps are engineered to deliver dependable performance in situations where water contains higher levels of solid debris such as sediments, organic matter, sand and stones—conditions that can cause conventional pumps to clog or fail. Compact, lightweight, and easy to deploy, EPT pumps provide contractors and site operators with a rapid-response dewatering solution when uptime is critical. Typical applications include stormwater control, stream diversion, system cleaning and settlement removal.
“Industrial operations like construction and mining often face unexpected flooding or water accumulation containing abrasive solids and debris,” says Niccolo Tivelli, product application manager, Atlas Copco. “Our new Emergency Trash Pumps give customers a reliable, easy-to-transport solution for handling clean and dirty water applications while maintaining high performance and serviceability.”
MATCH THE PUMP TO YOUR APPLICATION
The Emergency Trash Pumps range comprises seven different models, enabling users to select the most appropriate pump for their application. ETP clean water units are ideal for water transfer, tank filling and system cleaning applications, offering flow rates up to 432 gallons per minute and up to 197 feet maximum head, with maximum suction rates of 22.9 feet. These models can handle solids up to 0.32 inches in diameter and feature durable but lightweight aluminum components for ease of deployment.
For more demanding dewatering applications involving contaminated or debris-laden water, ETP wastewater models are engineered to handle solids up to 1.1 inches in diameter. Built with durable cast iron frames and impellers, these pumps are designed to withstand harsh operating conditions and maintain stability, even in floodwater. They deliver flow rates up to 343 gallons per minute at up to 98 feet maximum head and achieve the same maximum suction rates as the clean water units.
PERFORMANCE WHERE AND WHEN YOU NEED IT
In developing the EPT range, Atlas Copco has focused on portability, ease of use, and simplified maintenance. The pumps feature practical lifting handles and quick deployment capabilities to keep projects moving with minimal downtime. The open-frame design provides easy access to essential pump components for efficient servicing.
Integrated safety features, including exhaust protection and stable frame construction, help ensure reliable operation in demanding site conditions. The use of robust materials in all wear components and seals maximizes durability and long-term reliability.
CONCLUSION
The Emergency Trash Pump range is part of Atlas Copco’s broader portfolio, which includes dewatering pumps, generators, energy storage systems and light towers designed to support demanding industrial and construction applications worldwide.
