Since acquiring Varisco we’ve established a consistent presence in the dewatering market. The new single-brand portfolio provides our customers with the best choice and widest flexibility when selecting a high-quality pump for their application.

Up to 6 modular configurations per dewatering pump range

Dependent on the range, pumps can be supplied on a standard pump block, a basic or flexi-skid, or as part of a trailer, crate or fully containerised package.

Atlas Copco’s offering for the dewatering market comprises of highly efficient wet and dry prime centrifugal pumps for construction, drainage and emergency applications, plus specialised models for wellpoint applications and pumping abrasive liquids and bentonite mud. A new piston positive displacement pump has been launched that is specially designed to run dry without damaging internal components. It is ideally suited for wellpoint applications where the volume and depth of water is low.

The new pump range is Atlas Copco branded, although the Varisco name is retained as part of the VAR range of centrifugal wet prime pumps and will therefore remain synonymous with first-class dewatering solutions. The Varisco brand will also continue be used exclusively for the industrial pump range.

To offer customers extra flexibility, all ranges can be supplied with a diesel engine or an electric motor as part of Atlas Copco’s E-Pump concept. Furthermore, up to six modular configurations are possible per range. Dependent on the range, pumps can be supplied on a standard pump block, a basic or flexi-skid, or as part of a trailer, crate or fully containerised package.

The new pumps from Atlas Copco Portable Energy are capable of accommodating flows of up to 1400 cubic metres per hour.

As well as its seven centrifugal and piston positive placement pump ranges, Atlas Copco offers portable submersible dewatering pumps as part of its WEDA+ range. The range recently underwent a design overhaul, resulting in the introduction of five innovative pumps that offer up to 20 per cent overall reduction in power consumption compared to previous models.
