Horizontal close-coupled, vortex end-suction pumps
The Series 1600 horizontal close-coupled, vortex end-suction pumps (photo) have a wide range of applications, including food-processing solids, wastewater treatment, pollution control, slurries and solids. The Series 1600 has capacities up to 1,600 gal/min, heads up to 170 ft TDH, and handle temperatures to 250°F. These pumps are designed with a variety of materials of construction, such as cast iron, 316 stainless-steel fitted, all 316 stainless steel, alloy 20 or CD4MCu. Additionally, the pumps are designed with a convenient back pull-out cost-saving feature to allow for easy inspection or service and maintenance without disturbing the piping to the pump. The impeller has a fully recessed design, which accommodates passage of solids. All impellers have wiping vanes, which reduce axial loading and prevent dirt from entering the sealing area. — Vertiflo Pump Company, Blue Ash, Ohio
