The VS and VSR range of slurry pumps are designed for tough applications including abrasive and/or corrosive applications, high specific gravities, continuous duty, and solid handling. A VS50 twin discharge top suction is available in high chrome or stainless steel. These pumps can operate in run dry or snore conditions.

Design Considerations

• VS and VSR Slurry Pumps Are Designed for Tough Slurry Pump Applications

  • Abrasive and/or corrosive applications
  • High specific gravities
  • Continuous duty pump applications
  • Solid handling applications
  • VS50 twin discharge top suction is available only with high chrome or stainless steel materials
  • Can operate in snore conditions

• Casing

  • VS – 27% and 35% chrome iron
  • VSR – elastomer molded
  • VS50 – 27% chrome or stainless steel

• Impeller

  • VS pumps – metal or elastomer molded
  • VSR pumps – elastomer molded
  • No shaft seals are required
  • VS Impeller adjustment is made by shimming between the bearing housing and the mounting plate attachment to ensure maximum performance
  • Metal and molded elastomer impellers are available and are dimensionally interchangeable
  • VS50 pumps – 27% chrome or stainless steel

• Column Assembly

  • VS and VS50 pumps – metal column
  • VSR pumps – elastomer metal column Discharge Pipe
  • Metal for VS and VS50; elastomer-covered metal for the VSR and the VS50 as well

• Bearing and Shaft Assembly

  • VS and VSR pumps are cantilever shaft designs. Bearings are grease-lubricated with double-row taper thrust bearing located at the lower end of the bearing housing, and roller-line bearing at the upper end of the bearing housing. Bearing and clearing adjustments are not required when assembling the bearing housing assembly. VS and VSR pumps of the same sizes are dimensionally interchangeable.
  • Bearing loads are minimized using double-sided impellers.

• Strainers

  • Molded elastomer for VSR and metal for VS and VS50.
  • Tailpipe confi­gurations are optional on VS pumps.

• Agitator

  • Agitator optional on VS pumps to prevent settling and sump silting.
