U Series Unlined Slurry Pump

 

The U Series has the same hydraulic performance profiles of their lined counterparts in the S and L Series, and can be applied on existing lined slurry pump installations using a conversion kit.

U Series Profile

Discharge diameters 2” to 10” (50mm to 250mm)

Heads through 240ft (73m)

Flow-rates through 6,000gpm (1,350m3/h)

Casing pressure tolerance 300psig (2,020kPa)

U Series Features

Wetted Parts

Impellers – uses the same high chrome impellers as the lined pump series for even greater interchangeability – pump out vanes on rear and front (on closed impellers) reduce recirculation within pump – optional castings of straight or semi-Francis vanes (from 2 to 6 vanes on certain sizes) offer wider hydraulic options in single sizes

Bowl/Casing – the unlined casing is extra thick high-chrome alloy material hardened to over 650 Brinnell. The suction side is cast in a contoured shape to mate with the impeller eyes to increase efficiency and reduce recirculation in the casing.

Seals

Expeller (Centrifugal Seal) – no external sealing water required where applicable
Stuffing Box – flushed gland sealing with braided packing and a lantern ring
Mechanical Seals

Bearing Assembly

Cartridge-style bearing housing allows for removal from pump and assembly in controlled environment

Oversized shaft diameters and reduced overhang in the wet-end contribute to long life and reliability in the field</p
