It is not just the sales or rental cost that counts!

Energy is the largest cost in the Life Cycle Costs (LCC) of a pump. Reduction of energy consumption of a pump set therefore provides significant financial savings. Betsy pump sets are very energy efficient. They have excellent clog-free properties due to the large free solids passage, unlike conventional pumps with large free passages as Vortex impeller pumps and self-priming pumps. The efficiency of such pumps is also much lower. What does this mean for the Total Cost of Ownership?

Example

Suppose a Betsy 125M diesel pump consumes approximately 3 litres of diesel per hour at 1,500 rpm. A diesel-driven Vortex impeller pump consumes approximately 7.8 litres of diesel per hour at the same performance. In a period of 168 hours – one week’s continuous running – a Vortex impeller pump consumes about 1,300 litres, while the Betsy will only consume about 500 litres in the same period. With a diesel price of € 1.40/l a Betsy will save you over € 1,100 per week!

Conclusion

Do you want to buy a pump or rent a pump? When you include other factors in the LCC – in addition to the purchase or rental costs – as part of your deliberations, an efficient, durable Betsy pump set will prove to be significantly cheaper over the lifetime. You also no longer have to limit yourself to just fuel usage, because Betsy pump sets also distinguish themselves on many other facets. Want to know more?
