Tobee® SP vertical slurry pump is designed for applications requiring greater reliability and durability than conventional vertical process pumps can offer. Fully elastomer lined or hard metal fitted. No submerged bearings or packing. High capacity double suction design. Customized submerged length and suction agitator available. The SP/SPR vertical sump pump ideally suited for heavy continuous handling of abrasive and corrosive liquids and slurries whilst submerged in sumps or pits.
SP Vertical Pump Design Features:
√ Less wear, less corrosion
Wetted components are available in a wide range of alloys and elastomers, from which Weir Minerals selects the optimum combination of materials for maximum resistance to wear in virtually any industrial application, including those demanding both abrasion and corrosion resistance and where larger particles or high density slurries are encountered.
• Abrasion resistant A05 Ultrachrome® alloy.
• Abrasion/corrosion-resistant A49 Hyperchrome® alloy.
• Corrosion-resistant stainless steels.
• Natural and synthetic elastomers.
√ No submerged bearing failures
The robust cantilever shaft avoids the need for lower submerged bearings - which are often the source of premature bearing failure.
• Heavy duty roller bearings, above mountingplate.
• No submerged bearings.
• Labyrinth/flinger bearing protection.
• Rigid, large diameter shaft.
√ No shaft sealing problems
The vertical cantilever design requires no shaft seal.
√ No priming required
The top and bottom inlet design is ideally suited for “snore” conditions.
√ Less risk of blocking
The screened inlets and large impeller passages reduce the risk of blockages.
√ Zero ancillary water costs
The vertical cantilever design with no gland or submerged bearings avoids the need for expensive gland or bearing flushing water.
