In the late 1980’s we started the development of the Pumps 2000 range to create a new alternative to the heavy 80 kilogram-plus cast-iron diaphragm pumps that were predominantly used in Australian mines. Our focus was on the reduction of pump mass as well as improving the pump life and performance. With our past experience in plastics the first 2inch(50mm) Pumps 2000 air operated double diaphragm pumps were made from machined nylon and weighed approximately 34 kg. As well as reducing the pump mass we also developed and patented a new air motor component and diaphragm design which greatly outperformed and outlasted all others. With the need to decrease production time and cost, the machined nylon parts were superseded by injection moulded parts. This gave us the ability to further reduce pump mass with the use of ribbing for strength and the elimination of excess material. The standard 2inch(50mm) pump now only weighs 19kg. The use of injection moulding has also given us a greater freedom in material compositions and has led to lubrication free pumps and the development of FRASplas® our own approved fire retardant conductive plastic blend. In the mid 1990’s the second model in the range, the 1½inch(38mm) Pumps 2000 was completed and several other pumps are currently under development. As the designers and manufacturers of Pumps 2000 products it is our goal to provide the best, latest and most reliable product possible to the consumer. Our factory is located at 6 Burleigh street Toronto NSW 2283 in Australia where we have an in-house design, injection moulding, machining and service operation.
