Auto-Prime Pumps

As one of Australia’s trusted self-priming and auto-priming pump manufacturers, Toolkwip Pumps are your source of turnkey auto priming pumping solutions. We’re also distributors of international brands and provide customer service second to none.

Toolkwip Pumps are the Authorized Distributors for the Selwood Pumps range in Australia. Our range of SELWOOD Auto Priming Pumps utilise the world renowned pump ends and can be provided in open-skid, silenced canopy or pontoon mount. We also offer the drive options of diesel engine or electric motor drive.

All auto-prime models are fitted with a Diaphragm-type Priming System which provides fast, strong priming from dry, without the need for a footvalve. These self-priming pumps do not expel any oil mist for a safer and more environmentally-friendly option. They are also water tolerant providing long service use.

Self-Priming Pumps for your Site’s Every Need

Catering for Australia’s construction, quarry and mining sectors, our range of self-priming pumps are designed for easy operation and built for heavy-duty use. Focused on your specific requirements, we carry a wide range of options you can choose from.

Our standard range of auto priming pumps is divided into 3 categories: Dewatering, High Head and Solids Handling.

Dewatering Auto-prime Pumps

The Dewatering range is ideally suited to moving large volumes of water at low to medium heads. The pumps in this range are truly portable and truly powerful. Their sizes range from 3” to 8” outlets with flows up to 600m³ per hour and heads up to 41 metres. We have skid-mounted pumps, trailer-mounted pumps as well as pontoon mounted dewatering pumps. These pumps handle running on-snore with ease and have silenced canopy models that are fully bunded and lockable. They also have a ‘dry-run’ ability due to their mechanical seal and bearings housed in an oil-filled chamber.

High Head Auto Priming Pumps

High Head range is designed to meet the demanding applications of dewatering mines and quarries where long pipe runs and high heads are involved. All pumps from this range feature the diaphragm-type priming system that provides fast, strong priming for dry applications. The sizes of these pumps range from 3” to 12” outlets and are capable of achieving heads in excess of 200m. With a SELWOOD high head auto priming pump, dewatering is made safer and easier.  The High Head self-priming pump is available in a large range of build configurations and engine options.

Solids Handling Pumps

The Solids Handling Range consists of full-vortex style pumps that handle Sewage, Bentonite, Polymer and many other viscous-solids-laden fluids with ease. Built for heavy-duty use, they offer exceptional pumping performance and durability. Their sizes range from 4” to 12” outlets with flows up to 1100m³ per hour and heads up to 32 metres. The Solids Handling range is available in various builds including the Open-Skid and Silenced Canopy configuration. These types of builds can be mounted on trailers, pontoons, standard skids or super duty mining skids.
