Just start the engine — water flows fast
SPP flood pumps are fitted with the Autoprime system: an integrated vacuum pump that automatically evacuates air from the suction line. There is no manual priming and no need to fill the pump with water — simply start the diesel engine and the pump quickly lifts the water and delivers it at full flow. Whenever air enters the suction line, Autoprime automatically comes back into action, so pumping continues without constant supervision.
01
Start & air evacuation
When the engine starts, the Autoprime vacuum pump draws air out of the suction line and pump casing through the priming tank, lifting the water into the pump with no manual priming.
02
Full flow, fast
As soon as the casing fills, the centrifugal impeller takes over and water is discharged quickly. A float and non-return valve in the priming tank keep water out of the vacuum system.
03
Automatic re-priming
If air enters the suction — for example when the water level drops and the suction starts to draw air (snoring) — Autoprime evacuates it again whenever needed, and flow recovers without operator intervention.
04
Direct-coupled, no pulleys
The diesel engine drives the pump shaft directly through a coupling — no belts and no pulleys. Power transfer is more efficient, and there are no belts to slip, wear out or re-tension, so maintenance is lighter and the unit is more reliable.
05
Built for dirty water
Handles water carrying sand, mud, sewage and solids up to 120 mm — from flood water and excavations to ponds and channels.
06
Ready on site
Diesel-driven on a skid or trailer, so it keeps working when mains power fails — a common situation during floods.
