Vanton Pump has announced the release of a new Sump-Gard model SGK-2700 thermoplastic centrifugal pump that can handle flows to 1200gpm at heads to 200ft. All wetted components are molded of solid Polypropylene, PVDF or CPVC to eliminate chemical attack associated with pumping of process fluids, plant effluents and industrial/municipal water and waste streams, while minimizing abrasion. Since all wetted surfaces are chemically inert, the pumps are also rated for handling reagent grade chemicals, high purity water and other fluids that must remain contamination free. The alloy shaft, which is isolated from fluid contact by a thick-sectioned thermoplastic sleeve, transfers torque from a 125hp motor and can employ a balanced 14in diameter impeller. The pump's large diameter cantilevered shaft eliminates the necessity for any immersed bearings and permits operation for short or extended periods of dry run operation, with no damage to the pump.
