After nine years of consistent growth, pump and dredging specialist IPR has built its capability as a one-stop solutions provider, while representing some the world’s leading pump brands. Lee Vine and Steve du Toit explain how this streamlines the work of its customers.
IPR recently launched its new generation dredging system – the SlurrySucker MK III. This powerful unit now incorporates the world renowned Toyo heavy duty slurry pump, making it the most efficient and cost effective electrically powered floating dredge system designed on the market.
As a leader in pump dewatering solutions, IPR has added another string to its bow – with a range of quality lighting towers from Olikara. This adds to the one-stop-shop convenience that IPR offers to customers, who frequently need appropriate lighting for sites that operate through the night.
Dewatering is not a task that can be conducted with pumps alone; specialised and fit-for-purpose accessories are also vital to achieve the expected result. Dewatering specialist IPR works with customers to ensure they have everything they need, from hoses and valves to flotation devices.
Ruaan Venter, Rental Development Manager at IPR, says that while engineers have various solutions at their fingertips, submersible pumps often stand out especially when compared to vertical spindle pumps. The decision between submersible pumps and vertical spindle pumps comes down to the unique demands of the application in question, but the vast array of benefits submersibles bring to the table present a compelling argument for their widespread adoption across various sectors.
The Atlas Copco pump selection programme provides a streamlined approach to pump selection, saving time, costs and effort. By accurately assessing user requirements, performing hydraulic calculations, analysing performance and offering recommendations, this programme – accessed via the IPR website – enables users to choose the optimal pump for their specific needs.
Ruaan Venter, Business Development Manager at IPR – the official distributor of Toyo heavy duty slurry pumps in southern Africa, sheds light on the functions and applications of these components, offering valuable insights into their importance in pump systems.

These robust pumps can function both above the water (dry) and under the water (submerged), making them an ideal solution for diverse applications across the mining, oil and gas, construction and agricultural sectors.
Every project is faster and easier with the right tools, and a job as complex as dewatering a construction, quarrying or mining site is no exception. Finding the appropriate tools, though, starts with asking the right questions, according to industry specialist IPR – the Southern African master dealer for Atlas Copco dewatering pumps. IPR’s product manager, Steve du Toit, gives some practical guidance.
