MOBILE ON-SITE AIR, POWER, LIGHT
and pump solutions
A
tlas Copco Portable Energy leads the
market as a single source supplier of
turnkey on-site mobile solutions with
the development and extension of its pump
portfolio to complement the division’s already
well-established range of compressors, gen-
erators and light towers.
“The shared synergies between Portable En-
ergy’s three pillars – compressors, generators
and light towers – made the development
of our dewatering pump ranges to form a
fourth pillar within the division a natural pro-
gression,” explains Portable Energy Business
Line Manager, David Stanford. He notes that
pumps are not newcomers to the Atlas Cop-
co portfolio with small hydraulic as well as
pneumatic and electrical submersible pumps
having been part of the offering for quite a
few years. “We have now made a solid stra-
tegic commitment that will ensure our pumps
enjoy the same focus and investment as our
compressors, generators and light towers.”
Roll out of the expanded pump portfolio which
relates to both pressure and flow-rate capac-
ities, will take place over the coming months.
The efficient and safe removal and disposal of
water from a job site is fundamental to main-
taining safety and productivity. “Performance
under pressure within the most challenging
environments is where our pump ranges

Suitable for transporting or lifting water with
abrasive solids in suspension, the pumps are
ideal for applications such as construction and
mine-site dewatering and diversion of flood
water or streams. The comprehensive range
of electrical submersible and self-priming die-
sel pumps available from Atlas Copco Porta-
ble Energy provide solutions for virtually any
mobile dewatering application within the flow
range of 210 to 16 500 ℓ/min.
The portable dewatering pump range saw
further extension in January 2016 with Atlas
Copco’s acquisition of Varisco. “Varisco’s
Padua location has become the dedicated
global competence centre for pump
development within Atlas Copco Portable
Energy complementing our other two global
competency centres in Antwerp (air) and
Zaragoza (power and light),” says Stanford.
The new motor design of the Weda 50 and
60 electrical submersible pumps has resulted
in improved power to weight ratios. The Weda
hydraulic parts deliver enhanced performance
with flow management from 225 to 16 500 ℓ
per minute with a maximum head of 85 m.
Stanford reveals that as a result of customer
demand, a diesel driven open canopy range
will also be introduced in Q4 2016.
Portable Energy’s value proposition differen-
tiates it as a preferred supplier of portable
energy products that are inherently energy
efficient, light-weight, compact, easy to move
and transport. This meets customers’ exact
needs and contributes to enhanced customer
productivity at the lowest cost of ownership
over the products’ lifetime. Stanford points out
that Atlas Copco Portable Energy customers
invest in so much more than just a product,
they invest in a massive support network that
includes factory trained technicians who de-
liver fast, reliable, expert service to help main-
tain uptime and production levels.
