A family owned manufacturer based in Caboolture, Queensland, designing and building air operated solids pumps for mining, oil and gas, marine and wastewater operators around the world.
In the Field, MalaysiaSolidsvac grew out of the field. Before we manufactured our own equipment, we spent years running vacuum loading pumps on working sites, which showed us exactly where conventional pumps fall short on sludge, slurry and abrasive solids.
That experience is built into every pump we make. Each unit is designed, manufactured and tested at our Caboolture facility, north of Brisbane, and the business remains 100% Australian owned and family run.
Today, Solidsvac equipment is working in underground mines, on drilling rigs and offshore platforms, and in treatment plants across six continents, backed by distributors who understand their local industries.
From underground coal to a patented range working on six continents, here is how Solidsvac got here.
Solidsvac technology started out some 40 years ago as a 100% pneumatic clean-up solution for the underground coal industry.
A new design was awarded an international patent, and the value of the technology finally saw the light of day. A global supply contract with Halliburton then took the pumps into new markets around the world.
When the original patent expired and the company was sold, the need for a more versatile and efficient range kept growing. Solidsvac was created, with new patents for leaner solids pumps and the world-first CVCD models that deliver continuous vacuum and discharge.
Drawing on 40 years of solids pumping across industries worldwide, the Pump Selector gives clients a simple way to see if a Solidsvac vacuum loading pump can solve the problem on their site.
As with Solidsvac, the Krohn name is synonymous with the development of materials handling equipment. Alongside the Supavac and Solidsvac solids pumps, the family of designs also includes:
A real-time drill cuttings wash system.
Liquids recovery and aqueous waste reduction for shale shakers.
We design, build, sell, rent, repair and support our own equipment, so you deal with the people who know it best.
Every pump is engineered and built in house in Queensland, with 316 stainless steel vessels and valves as standard.
Purchase outright or hire for a single project. Rental units are available with accessories and onsite setup.
Maintenance, repairs and spare parts, handled by the same team that built the equipment.
Onsite operator training in Australia and overseas, with direct phone support when you need it.
Our equipment is used where safety and reliability are not optional. These are the standards behind it.
A certified quality management system covering design, manufacture and support of every pump.
Originally developed for underground coal mines, now relied on in hazardous areas worldwide.
Our pumps are built on Solidsvac's own patented designs, developed and refined in house.
Authorised distributors across Australia, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa and the Americas.
"The mine operates over twenty Solidsvac pumps throughout the underground across a wide range of duties. We have been very pleased with both their performance and the product support services Solidsvac provide."
