Introducing the new P2003N, P3003N Sykes Pump releases

At Sykes Pumps, we are always striving to provide customised solutions by continuously investing in updating our product range.

We are excited to introduce the ideal submersible drainage pumps that deliver on these priorities – the newest P2003N and P3003N models.

These pumps are an extension of our most popular units, the P2002N and P3002N but with improved robustness and reliability. A key enhancement is the passive cooling system enabling slurping operation, allowing the pumps to operate even in low water levels as the water cools the motor while passing through.

For more than 160 years, Sykes Pumps has been the go-to name in pumping solutions. Our reputation for unparalleled quality and service remains unmatched, underpinned by our pledge to reach customers within four hours, regardless of location.

The key goals for this critical flushing operation were:

· Sustaining a flow rate of 72 litres per second to thoroughly flush the system.
· Maintaining consistent pressure to ensure efficiency.
· Thoroughly cleaning the pipework to guarantee optimal performance.

Rising to the challenge: adapting to overcome market obstacles

Posted Date 07/09/2023

At Sykes Pumps, we take pride in our ability to overcome challenges and provide innovative solutions for our clients. Recently, in Macclesfield, North Cheshire, we undertook a challenging project for the local council.

They required a new headwall to be installed on a concrete culvert, necessitating the removal of water from site to create a suitable base for the structure. Thanks to our expertise and the strategic planning process of our sales engineers, we devised an efficient and effective solution to tackle this demanding task.

Product of the month – May

Posted Date 04/05/2023

PX 12 submersible drainer pump

Our Product of the Month for May is the ever-popular PX12 submersible drainer – a pump that is consistently required all year round and largely unaffected by seasonal changes!

In fact, given that they are designed to address excessive water accumulation, we often find the increased risk of flooding often associated with this time of year means our PX12s are highly utilised!

These pumps are designed to tackle general dewatering applications and are seen as the perfect solution for moving nuisance water in a range of environments including construction, utilities, mines and quarries, shipyards, docks, and industrial sites.

Products of the Month – February

Posted Date 06/02/2023

February is the month of LOVE.

Love is in the air, and sometimes, in the water too! Our monthly product segment has returned again in February, and perhaps fittingly, now features a pair of units.

We’re not entirely sure how they met, but what we do know is that they are the perfect foil to Romeo & Juliet, or just about any other clichéd Valentine’s duo.

They say opposites attract, so let us introduce you to the new IT couple:

DE190 and Piranha S21

The DE190 is a high-capacity electrical heater with three different power settings – 21kW, 42kW, and fan only. It is ideal for heating large industrial spaces of up to 1,200m³ in size. This fully portable fan heater comes complete with an optional remote thermostat and is an ideal heating source for virtually any setting that requires high-capacity fume-free warm air. These include manufacturing facilities, building sites, and tank drying applications.

Cosmetics manufacturer seeks electric submersible pump replacement

Posted Date 07/09/2021

As the UK’s leading specialist supplier of bespoke pump solutions, we are used to devising complex arrangements that have been uniquely tailored to suit the niche requirements of customers. On some occasions, however, a straightforward replacement will more than suffice in instances where essential upgrades or maintenance work is being carried out.

Earlier in the summer, one of our local experts was contacted by the estates team of a cosmetic products factory in Wales. The customer had an electric pump on site which had begun to show signs of age, and as such was not operating as it previously had been. Our client explained that a replacement pump was due to be installed in between 6 and 10 weeks’ time, with a temporary stand-in unit required until then.
