Download: VSM
Compact, Vertical Suction Pump
Type VSM (Close Coupled)
Type VSMS (Split Coupled)
Small footprint for tight spaces
- Vertically mounted top suction/top discharge pump fits where many pumps wont.
Simplified installation
- Same-size suction and discharge connections simplify piping.
- VSM/VSMS pumps dont require grouting.
Low life cost
- Contoured suction baffle provides laminar flow to impeller.
- Suction and discharge bends, eliminating the need for suction diffusers, angle type valves and/or elbows, which improves overall system efficiency.
- Short shaft with minimum overhang reduces shaft deflection and improves bearing and mechanical seal life.
Easier service
- Top pull out design allows rotating assembly to be removed without disturbing the volute or piping for ease of maintenance and service.
Reliability
- Double volute design helps to reduce radial thrust and prolong seal life.
- Ductile iron construction provides the highest nozzle load in the industry.
