The vertical mixed flow pump was initially developed for agricultural pumping. Continuous improvements, special designs and new materials have made it 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 and sophisticated facility and equipment design have created the need for superior high capacity medium-head pumping capabilities.
The VM is an “engineered to order” vertical mixed flow pump. Replaceable hardened liners help ensure long life and facilitate maintenance. Above and below base discharge connections are available to suit existing pipe design variants. Performance and hydro testing is in accordance with the Hydraulic Institute Standards. The VM pump is engineered to balance high efficiency, low submergence and NPSH considerations. Impeller is semi-open design, cast from various materials of choice for versatility, balanced to assure vibration free operations and polished to optimize performance. Impeller is secured to shaft by a key and split thrust ring.
