Self-priming pumps for sand traps
To avoid this situation, at Protech Continental, we have self-aspirating units with solids management, which minimise the problem and offer the following BENEFITS:
- They significantly reduce the number of stoppages due to blockages, thanks to the exclusive patented ‘Eradicator’ solid waste management system.
- In the event of blockages, it reduces intervention time from hours to 10-15 minutes, allowing the blockage to be cleared using common tools and without the need for technical skills.
- We minimise maintenance and operating costs compared to other solutions on the market, making this equipment a profitable investment.
