Gauteng-based IPR has become the Southern African distributor for the Atlas Copco Pump Division. Previously known as Integrated Pump Rental, local pump and dredging specialist IPR highlights its recent rebranding to reflect its expanded market offering. The company will now also sell and rent Atlas Copco’s diesel-driven and submersible pump range.

IPR MD Lee Vine says that the company has built a significant presence in mining, construction, agriculture and other industrial sectors, and the new arrangement enhances its offering to customers.

The new range includes wet prime and dry prime diesel-driven pumps, as well as submersible pumps for the three main pumping categories – dewatering, sludge and slurry. The diesel driven pumps range in capacity from a 30 m to 150 m head, with flow rates from 50 m3/h to 1 500 m3/h. The submersible range of Atlas Copco pumps extends from 0.4 kW to 54 kW power.

IPR product manager for the Atlas Copco range Steve du Toit highlights that a substantial stockholding is in place at the company’s Johannesburg head office to meet demand and that the company’s well-equipped and professionally staffed service centre is available to offer customer support.

The pumps have a compact modular design making them versatile and mobile. They can be trailer-based or skid-based and the design also enables ease of access to internal components.
