The Multiquip Dry Prime pump is a prime dry and prime- assist pump that can handle dewatering, sewer bypass, and wellpoint applications.

The Dry Prime pump uses a vacuum pump to remove the air. This becomes important in certain applications such as long suction hose runs or multiple suction points (such as wellpoints). In these cases, high volumes of air enters into the pump. Dry Prime uses direct-drive vacuum pump to efficiently remove very large volumes of air quickly to obtain the priming necessary for these special applications. Dry Prime is very useful when you have to move a lot of water fast.

Impeller

The Dry Prime impeller has a patented design to eliminate cavitation. It is a 2-blade spiral, smooth flow, open, non-clog impeller, designed to handle up to 3.2-inch solids.The impeller pulls water directly into the pump from the priming tank, reducing friction losses, and then pushes it out the volute discharge. This design does not cause turbulence normally found in centrifugal pumps.

Wear Plate

In conjunction with the impeller, the wear plate gives a perfect match for great pump performance and durability. The wear plate can be fully adjusted up to .6 inch (15mm) for wear.

Priming System

The vacuum system is innovative, simple, yet rugged and dependable. I uses direct drive which means no belt failure and with only one moving part, means no maintenance. It uses liquid-ring design with a closed water system. Separate oil bath lubrication for the seal and bearings with oil reservoir, can run dry without damage. It operates quietly with no pollution or unwanted discharge noise.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Float and Backflush (Priming Tank)

The priming tank float is a one-piece welded construction, rubber valve seat, self-aligning rubber hinge. This design increases reliability. The backflush valve allows for cleaning of the suction strainer or wellpoint headswhile the engine is running.

Fuel Tank Frame and Trackbar System

Run time is up to 72 hours with the Dry Prime’s fuel tank, good for continuous running for those long-term jobs.There are two corner fuel drains to check condition of fuel. The TrackBar system allows for the easy addition of jack stands, fenders, axle, lifting bail, and other options. This allows for fast and easy positioning of the jack stands on the job site to fit the application, or to add subtract jack stands as required.The removable, retractable towing tongue minimizes storage requirements.

Volute

The pump volute has an external inspection cover to inspect or clear the impeller. The pump shaft bearings and mechanical seal are run in independent oil baths for low maintenance.

LOFA Engine Control Panel

Vandal protected panel that provides engine status and shut- downs in the event of low oil pressure, high engine heat, and alternator belt breakage. Optional auto-start module with floats can be added for automatic start-stop of pump engine and pumping operation.

The Multiquip MP series of vibratory plate compactors, including models MP200DLTS, MP200DLTE, MP150SDLTE, P200DLST, and MP200SDLTE, are engineered for exceptional performance in compaction tasks across a variety of applications. These models are vital for contractors seeking efficiency, power, and reliability in the field.

The MP200DLTS and MP200DLTE models are particularly noteworthy for their robust design and versatility. Both are equipped with a powerful engine that delivers high centrifugal force, allowing operators to achieve effective compaction on different soil types. Their durable construction ensures longevity, even in demanding environments. The MP200DLTS features a dual-direction capability for increased maneuverability, while the MP200DLTE is designed for heavier-duty tasks and larger areas.

For users looking for a slightly more compact solution, the MP150SDLTE is a standout choice. This model combines portability with power, making it ideal for smaller jobs or confined spaces. It excels in providing precise compaction where larger equipment may struggle, while still maintaining high performance standards.

The P200DLST model offers enhanced features such as a heavy-duty baseplate designed to offer increased stability and excellent surface contact. This contributes to better results when compacting asphalt or granular materials, making it a preferred choice for road construction and repair projects.

Finally, the MP200SDLTE boasts advanced technology that enriches its operational capabilities. With an integrated vibration control system, users can adjust the compaction force on the fly, allowing for tailored performance based on specific job requirements. Its ergonomic handle design enhances user comfort, reducing fatigue during extended use.

Safety is also a priority in these models, with features such as protective guards and emergency stop buttons, ensuring that operators can work confidently. The overall combination of power, versatility, and innovative features makes the Multiquip MP series an essential tool for contractors in both construction and landscaping sectors.

In summary, whether it’s the heavy-duty capabilities of the MP200 series or the compact efficiency of the MP150SDLTE, Multiquip's offerings deliver outstanding performance, making them ideal for various compaction tasks. The robust engineering and thoughtful features provide users with the reliability needed in today’s competitive marketplace.
