Features

vMAX ™ vertical cantilever sump pumps are designed for continuous abrasive slurry service in sumps without the need for sump level control or submerged bearings. The following are all of our vMAX design features:

 

·         Cantilever design has no stuffing

box seal, no submerged bearings.

·         Available in 2”, 3”, 4” and 6”

sizes for setting depths of 1.4m,

1.8m, 2.1m without submerged

bearings.

·         Rigid 1040 steel shaft with large

bearing span to reduce shaft

deflection and bearing loads.

·         27% chrome iron wear parts

with 680 BHN minimum

hardness.

·         Casing has integral discharge

elbow to reduce localized wear.

·         Induced flow 8-vane impeller is

recessed out of casing flow path

to pass extra large solids, rags and

fibrous materials.

·         Separate suction wear plate with

flared suction entry for reduced

hydraulic entry loss.

·         Oversized suction strainer to

permit large solids passing and to

prevent blinding by plastic or rags.

·         Will operate without automatic

level controls, due to recessed

impeller that will not be impacted

by return rush of slurry.

·         No impeller adjustment required.

Oversize diameter expelling vanes

on back shroud of the impeller

prevent leakage to atmosphere.

·         Drive end bearing is fixed

clearance twin Timken taper roller

for axial thrust and impeller end

bearing is parallel roller for radial

thrust.

·        Grease lubricated bearings.

·         Integral mounting plate for

supporting pump above sump.

·        Steel discharge pipe extends

above liquid level and is fixed to

the mounting plate for access to

customer piping.

·        Adjustable motor mount integral

to power frame assembly with vee

belt drive tensioning capability.

·         Lifting yoke provided for crane

hook suspension over sump.
