General Industries, Mining, Power Generation, Pulp and Paper, Water Resources, Chemical Processing
Multi-volute Design provides perfect balance of radial reactive forces for smooth performance.
Enclosed, Mixed Flow Impeller is designed with a minimum number of vanes and wide passageways to minimize clogging. Vane tips are rounded to prevent the accumulation of stringy materials at the impeller eye.
Smallest model passes spherical solids up to 76 mm (3 in) diameter; larger models pass spherical solids up to 152 mm (6 in) diameter.
Splitter Vanes guide solids and stringy materials around the pump’s enclosing tube and into the discharge without clogging.
Enclosed Lineshaft protects bearing surfaces from abrasives.
Available Vortex Suppressor ensures maximum hydraulic efficiency.
