According to Steve du Toit, rental growth manager at Integrated Pump Rental. while the pumps themselves or pump elements are commonly available in stainless steel, the market has not yet made one thing like this available.
“Our focus on particular buyer requirements, built to order in our fashionable workshop, has led us to develop a completely chrome steel resolution – from the tank and skid to the lifting frame and different elements,” says du Toit. “We have seen a definite interest out there for this construct design, as prospects see the worth in having this corrosion resistant material in all features of the pump set.”

“Different grades of chrome steel are used in the design, depending on which parts have the most contact with the acidic medium,” he says. “A range of materials is subsequently employed to go properly with every utility, and to achieve optimum efficiency on the best cost.”
This customized engineering is made attainable by the company’s vary of technical expertise and specialist expertise that resides in its individuals. This in-house experience consists of draughting, fabrication and pump meeting, making use of coded welders and qualified boilermakers. Depending on the applying, the chrome steel construct can be supplied on a road trailer or with a web site trolley.
