mud pump hire perth factory

Our hire customers come to us with one simple problem to solve. They say, "I need to move fluid from point A to point B”. In many this will be an urgent situation so people are interested in a very rapid response.

Underground mines use water in their production processes. This waste water needs to be removed from the tunnels so the drilling schedule is met. Dewatering can involve very heavy dirty water that contains all manner of materials, water that may damage normal pumping equipment. These customers need to hire pumps like our Raptor. Alternatively they might also use the Jetguard pump which is specifically designed to handle dewatering where shotcrete is present.

Mining operations also require pumps for environmental protection. They need to trap water that forms at the back of tailing stands. They have to prevent this water from running outside their mining lease. For example they will be keen to avoid run off contaminating a nearby national park or waterways.

Companies responsible for laying major pipelines will sometimes encounter natural ground water coming out of a spring. Submersible pumps will be required for groundwater suppression so that their work can progress on schedule.

Civil contractors sometimes need to divert a sewer pipe in order to replace old pipes with new pipes. They can"t tell everyone to stop flushing their toilet or showering. In cases like this they use bypass pumping. They will bypass the whole line, dig up the old pipe, replace it and then reconnect the new system.

The dredging of Fremantle harbour is another example of where a submersible pump might be required. The silt buildup is pumped out mixed up with the water from the harbour. The silt is gathered and the water is returned to the harbour.

Plant operators sometimes need to access a tank to clean or resurface the inside. They have to drop someone in there to remove the waste water, repaint it and then put it back into operation. Submersible pumps are often used in this context to clear out waste water used during the cleaning process.

Processing plants can also have spillages on site. An example of this is the Kwinana Strip of industrial sites. Those process plants will have concrete sumps. These will be a metre and a half by two metres deep. These operators will have pumps sitting in there. The plants were built so that in the event of a spillage, everything goes down into one spot where it can be pumped out or recycled.

Our hire customers come to us with one simple problem to solve. In each of these hiring situations there will be a set of variables relating to the type of waste water and the logistics of the job.

There are also the important factor of how fast the job needs to be done. Information like this is all gathered on our hiring form. Our objective is to match each job with the most appropriate hire pump and get your "fluid from point A to point B" sorted.

We offer these solutions with comprehensive service reports with follow ups and site audits to ensure you a obtaining the best service life out of your pumping equipment.

Berserker submersible pumps are available for hire, whether you need them for a temporary period or on an application where renting rather than buying is desired.

Unlike other submersible dewatering pumps, Berserker pumps are designed to last in highly erosive and corrosive environments. This means less downtime and no expensive overhaul costs. Plus, you have the option of a LD Series pump (for light duty dewatering) or a HD Series pump (for heavy duty slurry and acid service) to best suit your requirements.

We service all local industries in Perth and surrounding areas for pump, generator, compressor and plant hire. The industries in Perth and surrounding areas that we service for hire and sale of specialised equipment for long or short term hire include:

Those best quality components include Cat® C15 475 hp engines, which MPI have fitted to their industry-leading pumps. Peter says the C15’s were chosen for their reliability. The C15 boast a gear train with increased capacity and decreasing noise volume; the option of laminated front housing, which significantly diminishes decibel output; oil pan isolation, which reduces volume; and a multi-layered steel hard gasket for improved durability. The C15 also features a steel spacer between two layers of spring steel to increase the gasket’s resilience, which in turn increases the life of the engine by decreasing leakage; and a highly efficient oil filter that reduces engine wear and enhances contamination control. These are attributes that contribute to the efficiency and reliability of MPI’s mud pump offering.

“Many of our customers find that the rental of a world-class product is the most economic and efficient solution, especially for contractors, so the performance of the Cat engines, combined with their reliability and EPSA’s extensive Cat dealer partner network, makes them the standout choice for our mud pumps,” says Peter. “Safety and a speedy set-up is of major importance to all our contractors and clients,” he adds. EPSA has been supplying Cat engines to MPI for almost three years and we have a great relationship.

- The pump skid weighs only 2450 kg (wet) and only covers an area of 2.4 m x 1.92 m making it very easy to move into restricted areas due to its compact abilities.
