The Himax Pump is a true self-priming pump so does not require manual priming of the suction line or filling of a priming tank in order to begin its normal operation. The Sykes High Head range of pumpsets are fully automatic priming and designed to meet the stringent demands of the mining, construction and rental industries. Boasting one of the best shaft stiffness ratio’s of any automatic priming pump on the market, the Sykes High Head range provides the reliability to meet market expectations.
In addition the pump can run dry for extended periods due to the mechanical seal assembly which allows priming with long suction hoses and suction lifts of up to 9m (28 feet). As fluid levels fluctuate, the pump will “snore” until the liquid is available for the pump to fully reprime itself automatically.
