Appalachian Self-Priming Surface Pumps
Appalachian Self-Priming Surface Pumps
The Appalachian surface pumps comprise of an air separator unit and a vacuum pump, offering rapid automatic priming. Even with suction heights of several feet, these tools rapidly evacuates the air from the suction pipe and starts to pump. In addition, the semi-open impeller is suitable for pumping liquids with solids in suspensions.
Appalachian pumps are available in a range of sizes and power. Options include towable tailor mounts or skids, and open frame or sound attenuated. Choose from multiple rugged surface pump designs, including high head models.

Dewatering Surface Pumps Applications
At DAE Pumps, we have a surface pump for every dewatering application. For every industry and for every use, we have you covered with high performance, reliable, and easy to use self-priming surface pumps.
Oil & Gas
Pipelines used to transport crude oil or natural gas must be dewatered to guarantee the quality of the hydrocarbons and prevent the formation of hydrates and protect pipes from internal corrosion. The ballasting process requires robust high performing pumps which, based on the needs, pumps seawater in and out of the shipyard tank during the loading and unloading of water vessels.
Applications
- Ballasting
- Pipeline hydrostatic test
- Drilling
- Pipeline flushing
Mines and Quarries
For dewatering applications in the mines post dredging, our pumps offer effective and efficient solutions due to their solids handling capability.
Applications
- Dewatering
- Water relaunching
- Washplants
- Silt and sludge removal
Municipalities
Municipal public service applications can vary from sewage bypass to wastewater treatment plants to water reclamation centers. When wastewater is being treated, our pumps handle the fluids and solids without clogging or failing.
Applications
- Sewage bypass
- Dewatering
- Emergency water treatment

Farm Irrigation
Farms use Appalachian surface pumps as farm irrigation pump systems. These pumping stations transfer water via these high-pressure pumps from an irrigation canal and distributed it to irrigation sprinklers in farm fields. Their mobility allows them to be easily moved from one location to another where necessary.
Applications
- Farm Irrigation Pump System
