Self-priming pumps for sand traps

The best alternative to submersible pumps, minimising blockages

Pumping sand containing solids often causes blockages that interrupt purging operations for longer than desired.

To avoid this situation, at Protech Continental, we have self-aspirating units with solids management, which minimise the problem and offer the following BENEFITS:

  1. They significantly reduce the number of stoppages due to blockages, thanks to the exclusive patented ‘Eradicator’ solid waste management system.
  2. 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.
  3. We minimise maintenance and operating costs compared to other solutions on the market, making this equipment a profitable investment.
