World’s harshest conditions create energy efficient pumps

With over 50 years’ experience, AllightSykes is a market leader in the design, manufacturing and distribution of lighting, dewatering and power solutions. The company prides itself on providing robust, reliable products that make ownership and operation safe, simple and cost effective for customers.

The company has built itself into a major force in water management across the globe. The company now has branches stretching from Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Middle East and Africa, to South and North America.

Company CEO, Gus Elliot, said the business owes this success to the harsh environmental conditions experienced in Australia.

“AllightSykes was founded in Australia, so when we started designing pumps, we built them to withstand the harshest conditions this country could offer.

Fortunately for us, those conditions are on par with the harshest conditions anywhere in the world. What we built here worked anywhere,” Mr Elliot said.

Designing, manufacturing and servicing its own equipment has given AllightSykes invaluable knowledge of how its pumps operate in the most diverse environments.

Feedback from the field helps the team refine its products that have become recognised as some of the most energy efficient and reliable in the world.

Latif Ahmad, General Manager of Technical Services, said that the energy efficiency comes from the leading-edge design elements of the pumps.

“Sykes pumps have the lowest shaft stiffness ratio in the business, are built with superior corrosion resistant materials, and feature the ability to reset the impeller and wear plates.

This reduces the need to prematurely replace wear parts, and reduces the overall energy consumption during the pump’s operating life,” Mr Ahmad said.

For businesses, this means less energy used, less pump downtime, less unplanned repairs and maintenance, less parts used, and longer pump life internals.

Mr Ahmad said that providing the right equipment is just the first part of the equation.

“AllightSykes stands out because we’re more than a manufacturer. We know how important it is for many of our customers to be up and running 24-hours a day, so we provide the support to help operate this way,” Mr Ahmad said.
