Features & Benefits

Heavy-duty Cast Iron/Bronze fitted bowls standard.

All bowl assemblies are flanged for ease in assembly and disassembly.

Bowls from 4″ through 20″ have an internal vitreous enamel porcelain lining and an external o-ring for drypit applications.

Heavy-duty discharge cases with dual bearings on bowl assemblies through 16″.

Optional metallurgy available including 316 stainless steel, Cd4MCu, and other duplex alloy stainless steels.

“CR” models feature casted integral abrasion webs that minimize the erosion action of entrained abrasives due to the vortex action and the rotation of the liquid between the individual pump stages.

“CR” models also feature suction and discharge bearings with a minimum of 5 inches in length which allows for more shaft support in the bowl assembly.

Special automotive-duty options with separate thrust stand for use where special motor options are required.

Cast iron or fabricated steel discharge heads.
