Submersible wastewater pumps
www.bellgossett.com
Featuring unique, self-cleaning impellers and casing, the Impact™ series of high-efficiency submersible wastewater pumps are specifically configured to process solids more easily and reduce clogging, while improving hydraulic efficiency. The pumps operate at efficiencies exceeding market standards by 10% to 15%, consume less energy and last longer, even in high demand conditions. Impact MK model pumps have an air-filled motor, dual mechanical seal, and a specially designed seal chamber that improves overall pump efficiency and durability. For low volume wastewater applications, the Impact MV model features a vortex impeller that is also self-cleaning and more suitable for handling media that contain sand and other abrasive solids.

Suction pumps

CR(N)-H and CR(N)E-H stainless steel horizontal end suction pumps are for a variety of applications, including washing and cleaning, water treatment, chemical, pulp and paper industries and more. The CR(N)-H can bolt directly into the piping and pump case footprint of a traditional ANSI pump. Pressure range can be expanded by adding additional stages and by up-sizing the motor, without piping or foundation changes. The cartridge seal can be replaced on the spot without disassembly. The CR(N)-H is available in variable speed for total control and flexibility; up to 80% reduction in energy costs. Grundfos Pumps.
