Product Description
P4 Vortex Pneumatic Pumps
P4 Vortex Pneumatic Pumps provide portable, air-powered dewatering for severe mining and industrial conditions. ATS 2000 developed the Mk4 pump with a lubrication-free pneumatic motor, rust-resistant motor components and a rugged vortex pumping section. Consequently, the unit delivers dependable performance without adding oil mist from a conventional lubricated air motor.
Moreover, the pump weighs only 17 kg and includes an ergonomic carrying handle. Therefore, operators can move it quickly between sumps, headings and drainage points where electrical pumps may not suit the site.
High-Performance Mine Dewatering
The P4 Vortex Mk4 combines an inverted impeller with a side-suction volute arrangement. This layout allows water and suspended material to enter from the sides while the pump rests on the bottom of a sump. As a result, the pump can handle grit, fibres and small stones without relying on a conventional bottom screen.
At 700 kPa air pressure, the published specification lists a maximum head of 80 metres and a maximum flow of 764 litres per minute. Meanwhile, at 400 kPa, the pump provides a maximum head of 53 metres and a maximum flow of 674 litres per minute. Actual performance depends on the air supply, hose length, discharge resistance and site conditions.
Main Features
Lubrication-Free Pneumatic Motor
P4 Vortex Pneumatic Pumps use a lubrication-free air motor. Consequently, operators do not need to introduce oil into the compressed-air supply for routine motor lubrication.
In addition, the motor uses a stainless steel cylinder and hardened rust-resistant components. Air passing through the motor also cools the motor-housing seal. Therefore, the pump can continue running outside the water without immediate seal damage.
Durable Vortex Pumping Section
The inverted impeller and volute use SG42 cast iron for toughness and wear resistance. Moreover, the design prevents high-pressure pumped water from acting directly on the spindle seals.
The detachable impeller cover uses an O-ring seal and three bolts. As a result, technicians can reach the impeller quickly for inspection or cleaning.
Built-In Air Filtration
A high-capacity inline microfilter protects the pneumatic motor from contaminated compressed air. The flushable and replaceable filter element removes particles down to 120 microns.
Therefore, routine filter cleaning helps maintain airflow and motor performance in dusty mining environments.
Portable and Easy to Operate
The Mk4 measures approximately 435 mm high and 340 mm wide. In addition, its 17 kg weight and integrated handle simplify transport around underground and surface sites.
P4 Vortex Pneumatic Pumps use a 1-inch BSP air inlet and a 2-inch BSP water outlet. The published power rating is 4 kW, while the operating air-pressure range is 100–700 kPa.
Typical Applications
The P4 Vortex Mk4 suits:
- Underground mine dewatering
- Severe mining environments
- Sump and excavation drainage
- Abrasive wastewater transfer
- Water containing grit and fibres
- Construction and civil dewatering
- Temporary industrial drainage
- Areas where pneumatic operation offers practical benefits
Moreover, the pump can continue operating when lifted from the water. Therefore, workers can reposition it while maintaining discharge pressure and limiting backflow when they use the correct setup.
Pump Selection and Air-Supply Requirements
Users should select P4 Vortex Pneumatic Pumps according to the required flow, discharge head, air pressure and available compressor capacity. They should also consider air-hose diameter, hose length, discharge piping and the type of suspended material.
Furthermore, restricted air lines can reduce pump performance. For this reason, the installation should provide clean, dry compressed air within the published 100–700 kPa operating range.
Why Choose P4 Vortex Pneumatic Pumps?
P4 Vortex Pneumatic Pumps combine low weight, high head, solids-handling capability and lubrication-free pneumatic technology.
Moreover, their rugged cast iron pumping section and rust-resistant motor components support demanding mining duties. Consequently, the P4 Vortex Mk4 provides a practical dewatering solution for mines, contractors and industrial operators across the UAE.
