VERTICAL TURBINE SOLIDS HANDLING PUMP

United Flo Vertical Turbine Single Stage Non-Clog Solids Handling Pump

The United Flo Vertical Turbine Single Stage Non-Clog Solids Handling Pump is purpose-built for handling solids-laden water in municipal wastewater and raw water applications. Designed with high-efficiency hydraulics, it features a water-lubricated bearing system that eliminates the need for oil maintenance, ensuring smooth, reliable operation while reducing environmental risks. The pump is engineered to efficiently pass solids up to 6 inches in diameter, making it ideal for non-clog applications where continuous, trouble-free performance is crucial.

​

Key Features and Specifications:

• Flow Capacity: Up to 50,000 GPM (Gallons Per Minute).

• Head Range: 10 to 110 feet (Total Dynamic Head), ideal for low to medium head applications.

• Impeller Sizes: Ranges from 10" to 30", allowing for precise customization to meet specific flow and head requirements.

• Non-Clog Performance: Designed to efficiently pass solids up to 6" in diameter, ensuring consistent operation in challenging, solids-laden environments.

• Operating Speed: 900 to 1800 RPM for optimized energy efficiency and operational flexibility.

• Single-Stage Design: Simplified construction for high efficiency and minimal maintenance, ensuring long-term reliability for large solids-handling capacities.

• Materials of Construction:

  • Impeller: High-end cast iron (Class 30/40) for maximum durability and wear resistance.

  • Column Pipe: Epoxy-coated carbon steel to resist corrosion and extend the pump's lifespan.

  • Bowl: High-end cast iron (Class 30/40) for superior reliability in abrasive and harsh conditions.

• Bearings: Water-lubricated heavy-duty bearings for extended service life and reduced maintenance.

• Configurations: Vertical pedestal mount for compact and efficient installation in tight spaces.

• Drop-In Replacement: Direct drop-in replacement for legacy pumps, offering easy installation with no need for modifications to external piping, mounting, or electrical systems.

• Motor Compatibility: Designed for motors ranging from 40 HP to 400 HP, accommodating a wide range of operational needs.

​

Applications:

• Municipal wastewater treatment

• Stormwater management

• Raw water intake and transfer

• Industrial solids-laden water systems
