Lift Pumps

Custom Lift Pumps in Tamworth


Elevating Water For Commerce & Agriculture

At Proton Engineering, we manufacture, install, service and repair custom lift pumps.


Lift pumps, also known as suction pumps or vertical turbine pumps, are used to move water from a lower elevation to a higher elevation. The underlying technology converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy, which prompts the movement of water. The pump consists of several key components, including a motor, a shaft, and a series of impellers or stages.


The motor is typically located on the surface and is used to provide the mechanical energy needed to rotate the shaft, which extends down into the well or reservoir. The impellers or stages are located along the length of the shaft and are designed to lift the water from the lower elevation to the higher elevation.


As the motor rotates the shaft, the impellers create a centrifugal force that lifts the water from the well or reservoir and pushes it towards the surface. The number of stages and the design of the impellers are determined by the specific requirements of the application, including the depth of the well or reservoir, the required flow rate, and the amount of lift needed.


Using high-quality materials and advanced technology, our lift pumps are custom-designed and engineered for our clients’ specific requirements. Call (02) 6795 1226 to find out more.


Based in Wee Waa, we service clients throughout Moree, Narrabri, Tamworth and surrounds.

Applications For Lift Pumps

Our lift pumps are used in extensively in mining, agricultural and industrial operations. Common uses include:


Mining: In mining operations, our lift pumps are used to dewater mines, transfer slurry and tailings, and supply process water. They can be used to lift water from underground mines, open pits, and tailings ponds, and to transfer it to other locations for processing or disposal.


Agriculture: Our lift pumps are commonly used in agriculture for irrigation, drainage and fertilisation. They can be used to lift water from wells or surface sources, ready to be distributed to crops and troughs.


Industrial: In industrial applications, lift pumps are used for a variety of purposes, including water supply systems, cooling systems and fire protection systems. They can be used to lift water from underground wells or surface sources, and to distribute water throughout a facility for various uses.
