pump from Aussie Pumps”

Aussie Pump goes to Sea
Model: BG2TMKA L100 17th October 2008
When Port Macquarie Sea Rescue
operators, Geoff Shelton, Ken
Fletcher and Peter Elson needed a
portable diesel fire pump that could
handle salt water, they knew Aussie
Pumps was the logical place to go.
Australian Pump Industries offers a
wide range of portable diesel driven
marine fire pumps, including the innovative
Aussie Seamaster.
Port Macquarie Sea Rescue selected
a zinc free bronze self priming centrifugal high pressure pump powered by a
Yanmar L100 10 HP electric start diesel engine.
The big bronze 2” self priming pump delivers a whopping 60 p.s.i. pressure,
and provides flows of up to 450 litres per minute. That’s 27,000 litres per
hour! The high pressure characteristics make the bronze Aussie ideal for
marine fire fighting.
The pump will self prime from depths of 6 metres, enabling the Sea Rescue
boys to just throw a suction line over the side and crank up the engine.
The pump comes with a heavy duty mechanical seal and doubles as a salvage
pump. It can also be used on deck wash down or bilge pump out applications.
