The type VT pump is
capable of pumping high heads and can surge and also pump liquids
with air entrapped.

|
A. Standard
Cast Iron or Steel Fabricated Motor available.
B. HRC coupling allows for impeller adjustment
C. Top adjustment for impeller wear to maintain hydraulic
performance and efficiency.
D. Conservatively sized floating radial bearing, lightly
loaded due to the “Twin Volute” casing and
high-capacity, matched-pair angular contact thrust bearings.
E. Rugged cantilever shaft. No submerged bearings or
stuffing box.
F. Renewable shaft sleeve protects shaft from wear.
G. Enclosed impeller matched to casing for the best
hydraulic efficiency.
H. Top suction design eliminates air binding which allows
the pump to run dry and quickly re prime when required.
I. The double discharge Twin Volute construction provides
balanced radial loads.

ADVANTAGES OF THE
TOP SUCTION DESIGN CONFIGURATION
-
The design allows for fully, partial
and non-submerged conditions.
-
The twin volute casing is designed to
balance hydraulic forces exerted on the pump shaft during
operation. This promotes extended bearing and mechanical seal
life.
-
All the pumps can be supplied
certified to flameproof specification.
-
Submergence depth up to 20m
H20
-
All pumps have double mechanical seals
for improved sealing of the motor.
-
Top suction design eliminates air
binding which allows the pump to run dry and quickly re prime when
required.
-
Dry run
