Atlas Copco launches the E-Pump, a fully electric self-priming dewatering pump range with a lower Total Cost of Ownership
February 21, 2023
Atlas Copco has developed a new versatile range of electric self-priming dewatering pumps for a wide variety of applications. This flexible solution is ideally suited for many applications like sewage bypass, quarry/mine dewatering, and urban construction projects with access to a power source. E-Pumps successfully manage demanding flows and large solids with a reduced CO2 footprint and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Due to recent environmental regulations, the need for dewatering pumps which can operate in noise-sensitive and low emission zones is growing. The E-Pumps have been designed to enable operators to reduce energy consumption and noise generation under normal operating conditions.
With an extended pump life, these reliable and efficient self-priming pumps offer sustainable energy savings. Also, the maintenance and servicing costs of electric motors are substantially lower than diesel engines. Service quality is high, with ensured ease of access to the key elements of the pump with the patented hinge door access to the impeller. In addition, the electric motor does not need oil changes or shutdowns for engine services.
However, one of the most significant cost benefits of the E-Pump range is its compact size for storage. With a reduced footprint, PAC electric models offer increased transport and storage efficiency. As many as 12 open set units can fit into a 48-foot flatbed truck, resulting in improved transportation efficiency for operators. Additionally, having more compact units is critical in certain jobs, like mining and industrial applications, where operators benefit by taking up less space in the work site.

The PAC line of automatic self-priming dewatering pumps is an exciting addition to the electric-powered range of products from Atlas Copco,” says Hunter Powell, Product and Applications Manager for pumps at Atlas Copco. “With a lower investment cost and low operational costs, they are a great choice for both long and short-term dewatering projects.”
