SELWOOD
Selwood launch new innovative website
Selwood is reacting to customers’ requirements with greater stock availability over the full range of pumps. Selwood’s existing manufacturing facility at Chandler’s Ford in the UK has benefited from an improvement programme designed to increase efficiency and capacity. Smart procurement and greater stock holding will allow for standard products to benefit from shorter lead times which are increasingly required in this modern, fast moving marketplace. The pump units produced at the factory range from 50mm to 300mm discharge diameter and can be fitted with a variety of
different drives including diesel engines and electric motors to meet individual customer requirements. All the diesel pump engine emissions are compliant to the latest regulations and Selwood has introduced Telemetry and Auto Start systems to its super silent range utilising both floats and ultrasonic level devices that have greatly reduced the consumption of fuel at many sites. The benefit is that the pumps only work when the flows require it and they do not need attendance as they start automatically on demand. The company is also placing a special focus on its hydraulic submersible pumps, now being manufactured in its Chandler’s Ford factory. These high performance pumps are ideal for use in deep excavators and comprises of a variety of 50mm to 200mm models with electric start diesel driven hydraulic power packs fully protected by an automatic shutdown system. The hydraulic system can operate on synthetic biodegradable or vegetable oil that significantly reduces harmful environmental pollution. Part of the family is the unique Seldredge. This is
a modular system with a 150mm screw pump specially produced to mix heavy sludges and pump them away. Two 46cm rotors each side of the pump condition the sludge into a pumpable liquid by breaking up solids. Today, the company addresses the needs of many industries including construction, marine, environmental and pollution control, mining and industrial effluent management. This broad spectrum demands that a wide range of materials may be handled from water, solids in suspension and sewage to bentonite, oil, slurries and sludge. With a commitment to quality, safety and the environment, Selwood is one of the very few companies within the UK that holds all three internationally recognized quality standards, ISO 9001, BS OHSAS18001 and ISO 14001. Selwood is registered with the Achilles Utilities Vendor database (UVDB) and has been for many years. The UVDB verify and assessment service, used by the UK utility industry to source suppliers of major products and services, focuses on risk critical issues associated with Safety, Health, Environment and Quality requirements.
