The ARO Fluid Technologies business of Ingersoll Rand Industrial Technologies has released a new line of air-operated diaphragm pumps. These pumps have been developed especially for mining, construction, sump and other operations where a reliable, portable de-watering and solids handling pump is an everyday requirement. Named the “Pit Boss” for its tough, uncompromising performance and construction, these new pumps are available in three discrete port sizes (11/2”, 2” and 3”) and are built to handle the toughest of applications.

Announcing the release of Pit Boss Dewatering Pumps in India, Jaideep Wadhwa, Vice President & General Manager of the Ingersoll Rand Industrial Technologies business in India said, “These durable and high performance pumps add to existing line up of the energy efficient ARO diaphragm pumps and will cater to the toughest applications in the construction, mining and other industries.”

Pit Boss Pump Features:

• Performance: Pit Boss pumps deliver industry-leading performance with powerful suction lift and flow rates up 217 gpm (824 lpm) to handle the most demanding jobs.

• Reliability: Decades of development have produced diaphragms that last up to four times longer than competitive models. And while other pumps frequently ice and stall, the Pit Boss pumps’ patented air motor design ensures worry free operation.
