Global Pump/Mersino Global TAP
The Global TAP (Trash Auto Prime) series of pumps are designed for handling large volumes of water and waste with solids.
The pumps range in sizes from 4-18 inches with flows of 400 to 12,000 gpm. They are also capable of handling solids up to 4-1/2 inches. Practical applications include, but are not limited to, sewer bypass and liquid transfer.
These centrifugal trash pumps are driven by diesel or electric engines. The TAP series of pumps are automatic priming because they utilize an engine-driven compressor that forces air through a venturi system that creates a vacuum on the suction side of the pump end. This suction allows for continuous priming and re-priming at suction lifts up to thirty vertical feet.
The pumps can be used in conditions that cause intermittent flow due to a unique oil bath system that provides constant lubrication to the mechanical seal. The pump chassis are available in skid or highway legal trailer formats. A sound absorbent acoustic enclosure is also available for pumps used in noise sensitive areas. The pumps have integrated fuel/chassis tanks that allow for continuous running for over 24 hours. 866.360-PUMP (7867), www.globalpump.com
