•Case Study: Gorman-Rupp Addresses Concerns For Higher Head, Greater Flow Through Research & Development
By The Gorman-Rupp Company
Increasingly, end users in the construction, industrial and wastewater markets are realizing the need for higher heads or to pump liquids greater distances, over challenging topography. Professional Engineers and municipal designers have previously had little choice but to overextend pump performance limits of conventional self-priming centrifugal trash pumps, potentially shortening the life of the pump and risking safety issues in the process.
Thousands of hours of research and development and years of experience have resulted in the introduction of Gorman-Rupp's new Ultra V Series: selfpriming centrifugal trash pump. The pump offers increased pressure / flow range, up to 170 feet of head in the allowable operating region, designed to meet the new challenges presented by end users.
For pressures that go beyond the improved capability of this new pump technology, an innovative straight centrifugal, the UltraMate, has been developed to become an integral part of the Ultra V pumping system. This patent pending staged design allows the UltraMate to be mounted directly on top of the Ultra V pump. This is accomplished by using a unique transition chamber which reduces pressure loss, increases efficiencies, and minimizes the required footprint. The combination of the Ultra V and the UltraMate produces up to 325 feet of head, again within the allowable operating region.
