Flextool's P212 Series of Submersible Pumps
The Flextool submersible pumps are heavy-duty and highly efficient equipment built to survive the challenging conditions found in the construction, mining, concrete, drilling, and civil engineering industries. Although small in size, these Australian-made pumps are unbeatable at moving dirty and muddy water.
The P212 submersible pumps are completely self-priming and highly robust in their design. The flexible shaft drive facilitates use in many situations where close–coupled pumps are not suitable. The new FP212 series comes with flexshaft support springs, which protect the drive shaft when operating over the sharp edge of excavations, pits, and dams.
Features & Benefits
- Double row oil bath bearings ensure extended service life
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel spindle prevents corrosion
- Seven oil seals provide superior protection to bearings
- Hardened steel wear plates protect alloy components from wear
- Quick action cam lock hose fittings for tool-free connection
- Oil bath lubrication protects pump against overheating during run dry
Available Options
- Flexshaft length from 6 to 9 meters
Key Specifications
- Capacity up to 63 m3/h
- Solids up to 28 mm
- Discharge head up to 26 m
Principle of Operation
The Flextool submersible pumps are either diesel or petrol engine powered. As the engine starts, the impeller turns, forcing the water around it out of the pump’s discharge port. The partial vacuum created allows pressure to push water up the suction hose and into the suction side of the pump to replace the displaced water. When the water hits the rotating impeller, the energy of the impeller is transferred to the water, forcing the water out. The water is then displaced outward, and more water can now enter the suction side of the pump.

Flextool's FDU Series of Drive Units
The Flextool Drive Units are one of the sturdiest, most powerful, and most reliable drive units you’ll find in the market. Fitted with the standard, quick-action, 3-tooth coupling, they can be easily connected to a wide range of flexible shaft submersible pumps and concrete vibrators.
They are available with petrol or diesel engines where the petrol models are powered by a Honda commercial GX 160 engine. A more powerful Honda GX 270 model is also available. The diesel alternatives, on the other hand, are powered by a Yanmar diesel engine.
Features & Benefits
- Honda four-stroke motor for quick start and low emission
- Petrol models have oil level sensors to protect from low oil problems
- Diesel drive units in recoil or key start for easy operation
- Lifting hook for easy and safe onsite handling
- Durable heavy-duty motor protection frame
- Rugged rubber mounts for vibration isolation (except Standard FDU-P1 model)
Key Specifications
- Max rated power from 2.98 to 6.7 kW
- Engine speed up to 3000 RPM
