Atlas Copco is extremely proud to unleash its new robust lineup of PAS-PAC H/SH super high head portable pumps that are built tough to conquer Africa’s harshest environments, sustainably taking operations to new efficiency heights.


With an industry-leading 235m maximum head and exceptional flow rates up to 1 980m³/h, these super high head pumps are engineered for maximum performance and efficiency. Purpose-built to withstand the harsh realities of Africa’s open-pit and underground mining environments, the rugged PAS-PAC H/SH high-pressure pumps are engineered for exceptional reliability and durability, excelling in the management of a wide range of demanding dewatering and liquid handling applications across diverse sectors.

Atlas Copco understands not only pumps, pump technologies and their wide-ranging applications but also the end-users who rely on these products. “As a recognised and trusted authority in portable pumping solutions, Atlas Copco offers a comprehensive portfolio of diesel- and electric-driven pumps engineered for exceptional durability and long service life,” states Theuns Viljoen, Business Development Manager at Atlas Copco Power Technique.

 

Equipped with cutting-edge features and engineered for maintaining peak performance and high flow volumes under extreme pressures across industries, the PAS-PAC H/SH high-pressure pumps excel in the toughest conditions, maintaining productivity while significantly reducing operational costs.

Viljoen emphasises that, thanks to their versatile design, a single pump can efficiently handle multiple high-pressure tasks ranging from groundwater control and flood management to site dewatering and tank filling. “Built to handle abrasive materials, these robust high heads can handle liquids and media for varying specific gravity, acidity and composition specific to mines.” Viljoen also highlights the new PAC H centrifugal surface pump’s capability to handle liquids containing solids of up to 89mm in size. “This makes the unit particularly well suited to industrial applications such as water transfer in the oil & gas, quarrying, construction and municipal sectors.”


The heavy-duty construction of these super high head pumps comprises a wear-, corrosion- and impact-resistant galvanised skid and engine cover, providing robust protection and supporting an extended lifespan, low maintenance and ultimately, a low total cost of ownership.

All engine service points, including critical wear components, are easily accessible on the super high head pumps, streamlining maintenance. This effortless upkeep supports continuous operation and ultimately boosts productivity.  The heavy-duty diaphragm vacuum pump (with optional compressor prime) delivers long-lasting performance, while the integrated mechanical seal oil bath extends dry running capability, further enhancing operational reliability. 

 

When only peak performance and absolute reliability will do and downtime simply isn’t an option, Atlas Copco’s PAS-PAC H/SH super high head portable pumps stand head and shoulders above the rest, tackle challenges others can’t. The ability of these workhorses to deliver high levels of reliability, efficiency and cost-effectiveness drives maximum and measurable return on investment. Boasting class-leading super high heads and maximum flows, these robust premium quality pumps are the backbone of operations where high performance and unwavering reliability aren’t just priorities - they’re everything.
