On average, over 60% of the breakdown calls from a typical wastewater pumping station are a direct result of a pump problem.

This is probably not surprising as pumps are the only piece of rotating equipment installed in many wastewater pumping stations. But what is most alarming is that when we look at these breakdown figures in more detail, we see that over 60% of the pump-related breakdowns are a direct result of blockage.

This situation has not improved in recent years, and even with all the improvements made to impeller design, reduced water consumption and changing personal hygiene habits still continue to increase blockage problems.

New impeller concept
Our ABS EffeX range makes use of a completely new impeller concept called Contrablock Plus. This solution takes the best of the tried and tested designs and adds new functionality to enhance the levels of blockage resistance above that of any other supplier in the market. In addition, we ensure that the free solids passage is never reduced blow 75 mm to give a further level of protection against blockage.

How can we be so sure of our designs? Because ABS has invested in over 5,000 man-hours in blockage testing, understanding the content of wastewater, benchmarking available designs and optimising the impellers used in the ABS EffeX range.

Our excellent rag handling gives you:
Lowest blockage on the market
Reduced risk of pollution from overflows
Reduced risk of interruption to services to customers
Reduced breakdown costs
Reduced tankering costs
