New Pump Offers Higher Head, Greater Flow

摘要

Gorman-Rupp has introduced the Ultra V Series line of self-priming, centrifugal, solids handling pumps for trash handling applications. The Ultra V also has a companion pump, the vertically staged UltraMate, which boosts the performance of the pump to even higher levels and greater efficiencies. The new Ultra V features revolutionary new volute geometry that helps improve pump efficiency. An increased suction port size reduces friction losses, decreasing net positive suction head (NPSHR) requirements. The pump also has an improved impeller design geometry and nominally increased shaft speed. These features contribute to the pump's increased performance. At the same time, Gorman-Rupp has reduced the noise level over previous pumps while maintaining municipal solids handling requirements.
