How to calculate speed/horsepower
• No internal back flow (slip)
A Flow required, indicates pump speed
• Designed to pump liquids containing particles
B Calculated discharge pressure
(abrasion is no restriction)
C Horsepower required
• Self priming to 95% vacuum D Fluid temperature
• Patented direct coupled design with rotor-supporting E Calculated discharge pressure
twin-bearing hub integrated into the pumphead and F Maximum recommended pump speed**
unique buffer zone to provide protective barrier * Minimum starting torque 3,000 in-lbs based on starting unloaded
between pumphead and gearmotor at atmospheric discharge pressure. Starting torque can be 2-3X
running torque if starting under the load of higher discharge
• Ultra compact footprint with flanged helical pressures. ** For maximum hose life, speed point (A) should be
gearing: no coupling or drive alignment required lower than temperature adjusted speed point (F). See example
• Optional integral VFD with user friendly speed pot points (A) thru (F). ***Intermittent duty = 2 hrs max continuous
and fwd/off/rev push buttons running, 1 hr stop before restart.
• Two year comprehensive warranty
