Self Cleaning Sump – eliminate blockages with the easy to install sloping collector pipe

Ask Our Team

The Gorman-Rupp Self Cleaning Sump (SCS) is a revolution in wastewater pump station wet well design. The SCS is an easy to install sloping collector pipe (fabricated from heavy duty HDPE) that is directly connected to the control manhole, and used in conjunction with Gorman-Rupp self priming sewage pumps.

The Self Cleaning Sump has been designed to replace the conventional cylindrical wet well and to remove the flaws associated with this current design. The negatives of the conventional design are considered to be the amount of intervention (number of personnel per call and the number of calls) required with these stations, the risks to operators associated with accessing the wet well for blockage removal and maintenance, and the longevity and reliability of equipment.

The aim of the SCS design is to:

  • Eliminate blockages caused by the build-up of rags and stringy matter
  • Eliminate sediment build-up
  • Eliminate fat and grease build-up
  • Eliminate air entrainment
  • Reduce energy consumption
  • Greatly reduce blockages in pumps
  • Greatly reduce maintenance costs
  • Reduce civil costs
  • Used in conjunction with Gorman-Rupp Ultra V Series and Super T Series Grey Water Pumps

It is simpler, performs better, and is suitable for projects of all types. This is the ideal solution for wastewater treatment in both urban and industrial environments.

Current pumping systems all have a main sump. Their installation involves heavy civil engineering work and not only that, they regularly silt up, requiring frequent costly maintenance.

The concept developed by Gorman-Rupp eliminates the main sump and at the same time increases pumping efficiency.

LAMPO Trailer_0v2
Emergency Response Trailer – Lampo

Download the Brochure | Ask Our Team

The Lampo emergency response trailer unit is designed to speed up and simplify the deployment of emergency response equipment for municipalities, emergency services and contractors.

Advantages include:

  • Enables deployment of multiple pieces of equipment, using only one vehicle.
  • Diesel-driven power generator complete with variable frequency drive [VFD] powers a lighting tower and a rugged and reliable Gorman-Rupp pump.
  • The cleverly designed unit can light up a work area while operators set up the self-priming pump or operate numerous electric tools from the power generator.
  • The VFD allows for soft starting electrical equipment, including the pump, and can vary the speeds of these machines to suit the duty at hand. While all this is happening, the compressor can be driving air nibblers, air-operated nail guns, wrenches or tyre inflators.
  • The Lampo units also come standard with an air compressor, discharge hose reel, suction hoses and a robust mounted toolbox.

The central components of the Lampo – the generator, VFD and lighting system are manufactured by quality equipment manufacturer, Euromacchine in Italy. They are housed in an acoustically rated enclosure constructed from powder-coated galvanised steel plates.

The Lampo emergency response unit are then mounted on an Australian heavy-duty built hot-dip galvanised double axle trailer and fitted with a self-priming Gorman-Rupp trash pump.

ES Base Mounted Sewage Pump Station
ES Base Mounted Base Station

Ask Our Team

The Gorman-Rupp ES Base Mounted pump stations are pre-engineered packaged units with one, two or more sewage pumps, motors, all valves, and interconnecting piping and can be supplied with or without controls and liquid level control systems.

The pumps in the station can either be Gorman-Rupp’s Super T or Ultra V Series  pumps. Flows to 250 l/s for a single pump can be achieved, and this can be expanded with self priming pumps, because only the suction line needs to be in the wet well [not whole pumps], so that 3 or more pumps can be utilised. A variety of enclosures are available to house the  pump equipment.

Advantages include:

  • Lower civil costs/ engineering
  • Pump stations are fully equipped and ready to “plug and play”
  • Lower operational costs
  • Greatly reduced OH&S issues
  • Easy access for monitoring or service
  • Intuitive control system
  • New advanced level control system keeps electrical equipment out of the wet well
  • Able to solve many application problems, including those with steep system head curves
  • All components within Gorman-Rupp packaged pump stations are warranted for 5 years
  • Can work with the revolutionary Self Cleaning Sump (SCS) for a complete sustainable system

EDUR PBU DAF Pump For Liquid-Gas Mixture

Download the Brochure | Ask Our Team

The EDUR PBU multiphase pump is a single-stage peripheral centrifugal pump with the unique capability of being able to pump a liquid/gas mixture. The centrifugal pump is constructed of stainless steel, so may be used to handle a variety of liquids. Air, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide and Ozone gases can be introduced into the suction line and transported and used to mix or disperse the gases. This makes the pump ideal for DAF plants, where the multiphase pumps provide the task of air saturation without the use of compressed air (no compressor, air saturation tank or associated controls).

Advantages include:

  • Liquid flows to 1 l/s
  • Gas content up to 15%
  • Stainless steel construction
  • Completely replace the “old” DAF system with a single pump
