Selwood’s range of contractor’s pumps was
originally designed and developed for its own
hire fleet, which is why it claims the pumps are

Another new pump on the market
comes from SPP, which presented its
new E Series autoprime pump at this
year’s Flood Defence Forum, which took
place in December last year at the London ExCeL
Centre in theUK.
Designed for tough dewatering, sewer over
pumping and bypass applications, SPP said the
E-Series came with an optional single
vane open impeller for handling raw sewage
containing stringy/fibrous solids and semi solids up
to 100mmdiameter.
It was also developed to be portable and
lightweight, featuring a compact manoeuvrable
design toallowmodels tobe trailer transportedand
easily shipped.
SPP business manager Duncan Jackson said the
company had worked hard to reduce the number
of components in the latest pump, as well as
simplifying servicing andmaintenance access
“We are adding to our existingQ-Series autoprime
rangewith this newmodel.
Mr Jackson added, “In terms of
demand from rental companies in
2015, we expect to see some increases
across Europe and internationally
– we also supply into Australia and
have had a recent order here. The UK
Environment Agency isalso talkingabout big
investments.”
