Prime High Head Pump
The Himax Pump is a true self-priming pump so does not require
manual priming of the suction line or filling of a priming tank in order
to begin its normal operation.
The Primax High Head range of pumpsets are fully automatic
priming and designed to meet the stringent demands of the mining,
construction and rental industries.
Boasting one of the best shaft stiffness ratios of any automatic

priming pump on the market, the Primax High Head range provides
the reliability to meet market expectations.
In addition the pump can run dry for extended periods due to the
mechanical seal assembly which allows priming with long suction
hoses and suction lifts of up to 9m (28 feet).
As fluid levels fluctuate, the pump will snore until the liquid is
available for the pump to fully reprime itself automatically.
