Sulzer has launched its extended VM vertically suspended sump pump
Sulzer has launched an upgrade of its VM vertically suspended line-shaft sump pump, designed for pumping clean and contaminated liquids and slurry. The company asserts that its wide range of designs and hydraulics makes the VM pump very adaptable and suited to all industrial sump pump applications.
The company explains that the main purpose of the upgrade project was to develop a rigid and reliable vertically suspended line-shaft sump pump featuring its most efficient hydraulics. The hydraulic coverage was extended with energy-efficient, non-clogging and wear-resistant options, and now includes core process and slurry pump portfolio hydraulics. Additional improvements were made to the vertical construction and VM pumps are available up to a length of 6 m or more, if required.
The VM pump is suitable for a range of demanding applications such as:
• Industrial water
• Effluents
• Corrosive and abrasive mixtures
• Hazardous fluids
• Abrasive liquids and/or liquids containing large solids
• Abrasive fibrous slurries and/or fibrous slurries containing large solids
• Abrasive non-fibrous slurries and/or non-fibrous slurries containing large solids
The upgraded VM pump range is said to offer high performance and durability, easy pump assembly, hydraulic selection versatility, an optimised parts inventory as a result of its high interchangeability, and a wide range of materials.
