Problem
An industrial plant contacted All-Pumps to assist with a wastewater application that had been causing significant issues. The stringy solids in the waste were jamming their Gorman Rupp trash pumps. They had considered using submersible pumps, but the pit's temperature meant this made this option unfeasible due to the risk of overheated motors. They also tested cheaper Chinese centrifugal pumps to reduce replacement costs, but the downtime in repairs became increasingly lengthy and costly.
Solution
All-Pumps installed a WSP self-primer pump with a unique buzz saw wear plate to thoroughly shear stringy waste.
Project Highlights
The WSP self-primer pump is a rugged and dependable self-priming solids-handling trash pump with features that can resolve our clients' wastewater handling problems.
Key features/benefits
- The Buzzsaw™ wear plate—aggressive saw tooth profile shears stringy materials as they pass through the pump to prevent clogs.
- Self-priming—WSP self-primer pumps' ability to eliminate manual priming results in hassle-free pump initiation that’s also less energy-consuming and costly.
- Others:
- Fill port cover and clamp bar assembly: The clamp bar assembly's recessed bolt-locking construction and anti-rotation design prevent accidental breaches of the fill port cover and protect operators from scalding burns.
- Reduced maintenance: WSP pumps have fewer parts than other types, requiring less maintenance and ensuring a longer lifespan.
- Flexibility: Self-priming pumps can handle a wide range of fluids, including those with high solids or gases.
After using the WSP self-primer pump in their treatment plant for some time, the client no longer experienced jamming and breakdowns.
