Submersible Dewatering Pumps

Submersible dewatering pumps are an effective, inexpensive solution for dewatering whether on an opencast mine or quarry site, in an underground mine, on a construction site or anywhere else that dewatering needs to be done. These encapsulated pumps can be completely submerged in liquid and are most frequently used to transport drainage water, excess groundwater or any other liquids with suspended solids.

At IPR, we offer leading submersible dewatering pump brands suitable for operation in a variety of tough environments and all are built to withstand the arduous operating conditions on these types of sites. The wide range of electrically driven submersible dewatering pumps available from IPR include portable mini-pumps through to large drainage pumps allowing us to cater for diverse applications including those found in industries such as manufacturing, food processing, agriculture, petrochemical, oil and gas, quarrying, construction and both surface and underground mining.

All submersible dewatering pumps available from IPR are covered by the OEM warranty.
