The new landfill/remediation pumps from Blackhawk Technology share the same low-cost/high-efficiency DNA – fraternal twins engineered to do more with less, pumping virtually anything flowable with above-ground drive.
One is pneumatic, the other electric; both are low-profile and worker-friendly, with TDH depths to 280 feet (85 meters) and controlled flows from 1.2 to 5.0 gpm (4.5 to 19 lpm).
Blackhawk’s advanced-design Edge Pneumatic Piston Pump™ provides up to 20% more lift than comparably priced air-push pumps, with matching SCFM air consumption and lower all-in purchase prices.
Edge’s greater surface clearance and innovative closed secondary-containment system improve stuffing box efficiency and significantly reduce seal wear.
Above-ground drive motor and power means no pneumatic air can enter the well, sump or discharge. No fugitive air means far less bio-fouling, carbonate crystallization and air locks along the discharge line, allowing greater efficiency with longer pump life.
Edge Model 101 operates to depths of 280 feet at flows to 2.0 gpm; Model 102 offers flows to 5.0 gpm at depths of 119 feet.
Blackhawk’s Apollo-AC Electric Piston Pump™ responds to customer requests for a grid-power version of the highly regarded Apollo Solar Piston Pump™ and its simple, linear-rod driver.
In addition to lower purchase prices and lower amp draws, the low-profile Apollo-AC combines the convenience and consistency of 24/7 grid power with the reliability, low-maintenance and easy installation that define Apollo pumps.
Apollo-AC 101 operates to depths of 280 feet at flows to 1.2 gpm; Model 102 offers flows to 3.0 gpm at depths of 120 feet. The 3/8-hp motor runs on virtually any converted AC source.
