Pump Skids

Summit’s range of pump skids includes various configurations that cater to a broad spectrum of flow rates and pressure requirements. These configurations ensure that the basic needs of most industries are met right out of the box. The flexibility of design allows customers to choose from different operational setups, including:

• Single or Dual Pump Skids: Customers can opt for either a single or dual setup, depending on their specific needs. Inverter options allow for precise control over pump speed and energy consumption, offering improved efficiency and adaptability.
• Fixed Speed or Inverter-Controlled: While fixed-speed options are available for straightforward applications, inverter-controlled models provide enhanced control, allowing for adjustments to pump speed based on real-time requirements. This feature is especially beneficial for applications with varying demand, ensuring energy efficiency and cost savings.
• Run-Standby Configuration: The dual pump design is ideal for critical applications where uninterrupted operation is essential. In this setup, one pump is active while the other is on standby, ready to take over in case of failure. This redundancy ensures continuous operation, preventing costly downtime and maintaining process reliability.
• Customer-Managed Automation: For customers who prefer to handle automation themselves, Summit offers pump skids without inverters, giving them the freedom to integrate their own control systems.

What’s Included on our Standard skids:

• Pressure Gauge: Allows for real-time monitoring of pressure levels, ensuring that systems operate within safe and efficient target parameters.
• Binder Point: A convenient feature for connecting auxiliary equipment or sensors, enhancing the functionality and integration capabilities of the skid.
• Non-Return Valve: Prevents backflow, ensuring that the process fluid flows in the desired direction, maintaining system integrity.
• Strainer: Protects the pump and other components from debris, extending the lifespan of the equipment and reducing maintenance needs. The strainer basket can be easily removed, emptied and cleaned.
• Butterfly Valve: Provides quick and easy control over fluid flow, making it easier to isolate sections of the system for maintenance or operational adjustments.
• Drain: Provides drainage facility on the skid.
• Mounting Feet: Adjustable anti-vibration feet, adapt to floor surfaces.

In addition to standard options, Summit Process Cooling provides a range of customisable features and optional extras to further tailor pump skids to specific needs on your industry:

Optional Extras for Specific Applications

Summit’s pump skids can be further enhanced with optional extras that cater to specialised requirements:

• Flow Switch: Detects flow presence or absence, allowing for automated responses to changes in system conditions.
• IP65 Pressure Transducer: Offers precise pressure measurement for advanced monitoring and control.
• IP55 Danfoss Inverter c/w Frame: A high-quality inverter option for customers seeking reliable and efficient pump speed control. Inverter Frame: An attachable frame that allows customers to add inverter control to their pump skid, offering flexibility for future upgrades.
• Snow Hood: Ideal for outdoor installations, the snow hood provides additional protection to the IP55 inverter, safeguarding the equipment from the elements and ensuring reliable operation in harsh conditions.
• Header Reorientation: Suction and/or Discharge Header Reorientated

When it comes to industrial pump skids, ensuring quality and reliability is paramount. We have established a rigorous approach to guarantee that every pump skid meets the highest standards of performance and durability. 

1. Robust Construction with High-Quality Finishes

We utilise a high-quality powder coating finish on the mild steel frames of their pump skids. This coating not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the skids in a graphite grey colourway but also significantly improves their durability and longevity. The powder coating provides a protective layer that resists corrosion, abrasion, and harsh environmental conditions, ensuring that the pump skids maintain their integrity and appearance over time. However, we are not limited in material selection, our skids are also available in stainless steel, offering additional protection for harsher environments.

2. Rigorous Pressure Testing

Before shipment, every pump skid undergoes comprehensive pressure testing to confirm that it meets the specified parameters and performance standards. This rigorous testing process involves evaluating the skid under operational conditions and at 1.5 x working pressure, to ensure that it can handle the required pressure and flow rates without any issues. By conducting these tests, Summit Process Cooling ensures that each pump skid operates reliably and efficiently from the moment it is installed.

3. Expertise in Design and Component Selection

The reliability of Summit’s pump skids is also attributed to the wealth of process cooling industrial knowledge that informs their design and component selection. The team at Summit Process Cooling brings extensive experience and expertise to every project, carefully selecting high-quality components and employing proven design principles. This thorough understanding of industry requirements and operational demands allows Summit to deliver pump skids that offer consistent, high-quality performance across a range of applications.
