Agitator Pumps

 

 

Agitator pumps are used for industrial, mining, milling, power plants, or anywhere slurry solids accumulate; these pumps agitate the media around the inlet. Since water always flows to the path of least resistance. A pump without mechanical agitation will only pump the water, leaving the solids behind to accumulate around your pump intake and eventually starving the pump by blocking the intake. Agitator pumps deliver kinetic energy to slurry solids surrounding the pump intake, re-suspending them into a fluid state. These solids, which would have otherwise buried and starved the pump of liquid, are pulled into the pump and pushed on through the discharge keeping the intake clear and free of slurry accumulation.

Cantilever pumps are centrifugal pumps used in sump pump applications. They are available in horizontal and vertical configurations. Many styles including submersible motors. Search by Specification | Learn more about Cantilever Pumps
Turbine pumps are centrifugal pumps that use pressure in combination with a rotary mechanism to transfer fluid.  They typically employ blade geometry, which causes fluid circulation around the vanes to add pressure from inlet to outlet.  Search by Specification | Learn more about Turbine Pumps
