Pumps 2000 As the manufacturer of Pumps 2000 it is our goal to provide the best, latest and most reliable product range available. Our factory is located in New South Wales, Australia where we have a complete in-house design, injection moulding, machining and service operation. Specifi cally designed for handling abrasive, solid laden and corrosive fl uids, the Pumps 2000 range was made to create a new alternative to the heavy 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. we also developed and patented a new air motor component and diaphragm design which greatly outperformed and outlasted all others. U With the need to increase production, the machined nylon parts were superseded by injection moulded parts.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 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 our own plastic blends. Our focus on R&D combined with in-house manufacturing, makes it possible to offer technically superior pumps, at highest and consistent quality. In the mid 1990s the second model in the range, the 1½inch (38mm) Pumps 2000 was completed, in late 2008 the 1inch (25mm) Pumps 2000 model was released in both a slurry valve and a ball valve version and in 2009 the 2inch Ball valve model was completed. In 2010 the ½” (15mm) ball valve pump was added to the range.
