When people think of industrial infrastructure, they often imagine towering chimneys, complex machinery, or high-tech assembly lines.

Rarely do they think of sewage pumps, quietly operating in the background, but without them, much of modern industry would quite literally grind to a halt, or worse, overflow in chaos.

Industrial sewage pumps are the backbone of any facility’s waste management system, handling some of the dirtiest, most hazardous tasks with relentless efficiency.

WHY THEY MATTER

Industrial sewage pumps keep critical systems running safely and efficiently.

Whether it’s preventing toxic spills, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations, or simply keeping a factory floor dry, these pumps are the silent workhorses of industry.

Ignoring the importance of sewage pumping solutions can lead to catastrophic downtime and potential environmental damage.

Investing in the right pump and maintaining it properly is not just a technical decision but a business-critical one.

Due to their special design, 100% free passage and low flow resistance, STRATE AWASTOP non-return valves are ideal for:

✅ Sewage technology, media with solids and coarse solids, sludge (up to 5% TM)
✅ Fresh and service water technology, including in areas where high pressure losses make powerful pumps necessary
✅ On request: pumping of fluids deviating from the media listed
✅ Areas where quiet operation is particularly important

PRODUCT FEATURES

✅ Non-return valves are recognised all over the world for universal applications in the pumping of fresh water, effluent, sludge and air
✅ Stand for high operational safety
✅ Stand out thanks to their excellent value-for-money and low maintenance requirements
✅ 100% free passage
✅ Low flow resistance
✅ Quiet operation thanks to the inclined valve seat which shortens the closing distance
✅ Minimum clogging tendency through optimum hydraulic design. Fail-safe closing of the valve since the closing element is fixed securely into the valve cover
✅ Easy installation due to the screwless valve attachment for simple replacement of the closing element
✅ Leakproof even with low counterpressure
✅ Flow resistance (water, effluent)
✅ Pumping of liquid media with flow speeds up to 1.5 + 0.5 m/s
✅ Vertical installation position – upward direction of flow
✅ Horizontal installation position – inspection cover at the top; recommended installation position where there is a high solids share (e.g. sand, gravel, stones)

When Inverter drives were new, many promises were made about how much money you could save by buying and installing them.

Unfortunately, those promises were rarely realised. How do we know this?

Because whilst servicing pumps on site we find many of the fitted inverters running at their maximum settings, and no account has been taken of the actual needs of the system they are in. The cost of the inverter has brought no advantage in terms of performance or produced the power savings they were designed to deliver.

To accrue the benefits of inverter drives they must be tuned to the system demands, whether it is by reacting to flow, pressure, or some other variable.

Properly applied inverter driven pumps can save a fortune, quite literally.

If you want to know if your pumps and inverters are working book a service call and learn if your systems can be better optimised. The exercise could easily pay for itself many times over.

As we head through November, we wanted to get in touch regarding ordering pumps and spares before Christmas.

You may have noticed that we live in an increasingly disposable world. Single use plastics, cars that you cannot get parts for after they are ten years old.

Even the pump world has this symptom in many places, where spares especially for early inverter drives are not available.

Peerless pumps have been making pumps for over 100 years and are still manufacturing spares for pumps that might be older than you.

We recently supplied parts for pumps made in 1974, and the factory records go back to 1923.

Should you need parts for your Peerless pumps, irrespective of their age, do let us know.

You eat regularly, and sleep regularly, and yet you don’t necessarily look after other important things in the same way.

For example, the machinery around us that keeps industry moving, or that thing in the corner that does the work we have forgotten about, until it breaks.

The old saying was that “a stitch in time, saved nine”, and the same can be said of servicing pumps and pump systems.

Planned and regular servicing of such systems will save you stress, bring to your attention things that are going wrong, and reduce the number of system outages and downtime you may suffer.

You can help yourself in many ways, the first one being to look at your systems regularly to identify any leaks, unusual noises, and even smells like an electrical scorch or burning can alert you to a problem.

What to do once you have noticed an unwanted change?

If you have the skills and the time, then you could fix it within your own organisation.

If not, call a specialist.

And for the ultimate peace of mind, get a planned and regular service arrangement in place designed around the needs of your systems, which not surprisingly, we can help you with.
