Vertical propeller pumps are typically used whenever a liquid needs to be pumped upward at low pressure from open bodies of liquid such as oceans, rivers, lakes, cooling ponds, tanks and sumps. Special design and new materials have made propeller pumps ideal for municipal water supply, drainage, flood control, power plant intake and industrial uses of all types. There is an ever increasing demand for the efficient management of the world’s water resources. A better understanding of water application problems, increased production demands plus sophisticated facility and equipment design have created the need for superior high capacity low head pumping capabilities.
The VP propeller pump is an “engineered to order” vertical axial flow pump. Above and below base discharge connections are available to suit all existing pipe design variants. The VP impellers are propeller-type, offered in several materials as applications demand, balanced to assure vibration-free operation and polished to optimize performance. The impeller is secured to the shaft by a key and split thrust ring. The axial flow propeller has a single inlet, available in numerous pitch positions to allow for maximum capacity handling.
