Gusher Vortex Series - Horizontal End Suction

Gusher Vortex Series: The Vortex Series is a horizontal, open impeller centrifugal pump. The series consists of 3 power frames and 33 pump sizes.

Features:

  • Heavy Duty Casings – 300 psi wall thickness increases life under corrosive and erosive conditions. All sizes are self-venting with centerline discharge. Drain plug offered as an option

  • Direction of Rotation -The impeller must turn counter-clockwise when viewed through the suction opening of the pump.

  • Jacketed Stuffing Box – This is offered for high-temperature applications to increase seal or packing life in temperatures up to 500°F (260°C).

  • Fully Open Impeller – is designed with a back pump-out vane to minimize axial thrust, and designed to handle solids and stringy material.

  • Positive Sealing at Impeller – Teflon O-Ring protects the shaft from the liquid being pumped.

  • Contained Casing Gasket – Protects against blowout.

  • Rabbeted Fits – Accurately machined rabbets ensure positive alignment, longer seal life, and easy replacement of spare rotating elements when maintenance is required.

  • External Impeller Adjustment – New clearance can be maintained with simple external adjustment in just minutes to maintain original high efficiencies.

  • Heavy Duty Thrust Bearing – Double row thrust bearing minimizes shaft end play for more effective stuffing box sealing, longer mechanical seal life, and greater axial and radial thrust loads.

  • Oil Lubrication – Oil lubrication is standard. The oil level is maintained by a sight gauge and power frame is vented. Oil may also be water-cooled for high-temperature applications all power frames are jacketed as standard.

  • Power Frame – Heavy-duty Power Frame is sealed against contaminants to ensure long bearing life. Water cooled for high-temperature applications.

  • Renewable Shaft Sleeve – Hook-type sleeve eases maintenance (easily removed) and is released to allow for changes in temperature.

  • Heavy Duty Shaft – Minimum deflection increases life with less maintenance.

  • Power frame and spare wear parts interchangeable with Gusher 7071 Series pumps to streamline replacement part inventory.
