Vortex Series of Heavy Duty Pumps – Pumps Designed to handle Solids
CAUTION: NOT ALL PUMPS ARE DESIGNED TO HANDLE BULKY/FIBROUS SOLIDS OR SHEAR SENSITIVE SOLIDS
When handling certain bulky, fibrous solids, clogging can occur. Standard end suction pumps have close clearances between the impeller and casing to maintain efficiency and performance. High velocities in the casing will cause increased wear, and can degrade or shear pumpage.
NON-CLOG PUMPING WITH MINIMUM SOLIDS DEGRADATION
With the induced flow of a Non-Clog Vortex Impeller being recessed from the casing, velocities are low. Contact by solids with the impeller is reduced. Wear rate, solids degradation and shearing of liguid are greatly minimized. The Vortex Non-Clog casing design is able to handle solids in liquid suspension. Any substance that can exit the discharge will pass through the pump without clogging.
General Design Features
TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION AT LOW FLOWS
Recessed impeller pumps are reliable when operating at low flows. Gusher’s Vertical Heavy Duty Vortex Non-Clog Pumps use a concentric casing reducing radial loads up to 85%. Bearing, seal and overall pump life are optimized.

FEATURES
1. Impeller – Designed to handle Large Diameter Solids and Fibrous Material without Clogging.
2. Handles Solids – Up to the same diameter as the Discharge.
3. Transential Discharge, Concentric Volute Casing – For Minimal Wear and Clog-Free operation.
4. Reduced Radial Loading – For Trouble-Free operation, even with low flows, our Vortex design allows throttling to a low perfomance range unacceptable to many Centrifugal Pumps.
5. Top Pull Out – Design Option for Quick and Easy Repairs or Switch-Outs. All “Wear” items can be Very Quickly Replaced.
6. Materials – Choice of Casing and Impeller Materials including Cast-Iron, Hardened Ductile Iron, CD4MCu or Alloy-20 for Chemical Compatibility and Significantly lower wear.
7. Sizing – From 2×2-8 through 6×8-15 offering Flow Range to 2600 GPM and Heads up to 440° TDH (190 psi).
8. Designed – To Pump various Liquids and Oils containing 30% or better entrained air.
9. Operates – 23% below its first Critical Speed at any point of Operation.
10. Shaft – Is designed to have a Maximum Total indicated Run-Out not to exceed .008 inches.
