HCP TORO Pumps vacuum-assisted sets prime themselves, unattended. Choose high head, medium head or high flow, for clean or solids-laden water, driven by a diesel engine or an electric motor.
*Depends on the priming system and suction pipe. See the priming details below.
The entire TORO Pumps range can be driven by a diesel engine or an electric motor. Every model below comes either way.
For sites without power. Caterpillar engines preferred, with John Deere, Perkins, Cummins and Volvo depending on availability. Yanmar on the smaller units, with Hatz as an alternative. On a trailer, a skid or a custom mining unit, with an integrated fuel tank.
For sites with power. Electric sets are quick and easy to commission, quieter and kinder to the environment. Built on a skid, with stainless steel or duplex stainless steel pumps on request.
Choose a range by the head and flow you need, then add the model to your quote list. The TORO L Series is a surface pump set, not the HCP submersible L Series.
Discharge pressures of up to 25 bar (250 m), for demanding construction, municipal and mining work. On an open or sound-attenuated skid, or a site or roadworthy trailer.
Discharge pressures of up to 14 bar. Multi-purpose sets for rental, construction, municipal and mining work, on an open or sound-attenuated skid, or a site or roadworthy trailer.
High flow sets for sewer bypass, flood control and irrigation, passing solids up to 250 mm (10 inch). On an open or sound-attenuated skid, or a site or roadworthy trailer.
Designed and fabricated for specialist mining duty, with discharge pressures above 25 bar and flows above 14 000 m³/h. Configured to your site, with the engine, trailer and materials you need.
The vacuum pump draws air out of the suction line so the centrifugal pump primes without anyone on hand. It is driven from the main pump shaft.
| Single acting diaphragm pump (preferred) | Rotary vane vacuum pump (EPV) | |
|---|---|---|
| Air capacity | 50 cfm | 112 cfm |
| Vacuum | 25 to 26 inches of mercury, at 1 100 rpm | About 8 m |
| Priming time | About 8 to 10 seconds | About 4 seconds |
| Drive | Belt and pulley from the main pump shaft | Prime, idle, prime: switches to idle once primed |
Priming times are based on a 6 inch pump with a 6 m x 250 mm suction pipe, with the rotary vane pump at 2 200 rpm engine speed.
An oil reservoir lubricates the silicon carbide vs tungsten carbide mechanical seal, and grease-lubricated lip seals allow long run-dry periods.
Remove the vacuum pump cover to check the diaphragm. Inspect the mechanical seal without stripping the unit, and the impeller and wear ring through the suction cover.
We stock service kits for the upper and lower parts of the vacuum pump on TORO Pumps sets.
Ductile iron casing with a stainless steel impeller and shaft as standard. Stainless steel or duplex stainless steel pumps on request.
Every set is built in our workshop to suit the site: on a trailer, a skid or a pontoon.
Diesel sets on a site or roadworthy trailer, with an integrated fuel tank.
Open or closed sound-attenuated skid bases, with an electric motor or a diesel engine.
Fabricated to your site, with the engine, trailer and materials you need.
Ductile iron casing with a stainless steel impeller and shaft as standard.
Standard on every set. Long coupled units are also available.
Service kits for the upper and lower parts are kept in stock.
Performance curves for the H, M and L ranges, and the vacuum pump drawing.
Share the flow and head you need, what you are pumping and where the set will stand. We will match the range, priming system and build.
