Atlas Copco Portable Energy has added to its family of medium and large submersible dewatering pumps with the launch of the WEDA+ plug-and-play range. The new range has undergone a top-to-toe design overhaul, resulting in innovative new pumps that offer up to 20% overall reduction in power consumption compared to previous models; combined with greater efficiency, simplified maintenance and increased capacity.

The WEDA+ range comprises five models: the WEDA 50, with normal and high head variants, and the WEDA 60+, available in normal head, high head and super high head configuration. Delivering enhanced performance and extreme portability, the top-of-the-range Super High Head WEDA 60+ is 15% smaller and 20% lighter than other pumps in its class. The latest pumps offer flow rate capabilities of 1020 to 2425litres/min (61 to146m³/h) and a maximum head of up to 69m.

385 Atlas Copco has introduced rotation control and phase failure protection across all WEDA+ models to prevent the risk of the impeller rotating in the wrong direction. This stops the pump in the the event of phase failure.

In addition, the entry system can accommodate a wider range of cable configurations, with an advanced motor design offering higher efficiency and reduced start current.
