Our quality reputation has made Gorman-Rupp the world s leader in self-priming centrifugal pumps. And it makes us your best solution meeting all of your industrial or municipal waste handling needs. World Leader
Self-Priming-the Superior Solution, for Several Reasons: 1. High and dry mounting for fast and easy service and maintenance Because Gorman-Rupp centrifugal pumps are self-priming, they can be mounted high and dry at floor level, with only the suction line down in the liquid. Service or maintenance can be performed quickly and simply with common hand tools and without having to pull the pump. There are no long drive shafts to install and align, no hoists or cranes required, and no need for service personnel to enter the sump. mounted high and dry at floor level 3 2. Clogging is kept to a minimum, so downtime is virtually eliminated Gorman-Rupp solids handling, self-priming pumps help keep productivity high because they are designed for virtually clog-free performance. Solids handling pump models will handle spherical solids up to 3" (76 mm) in diameter and allow solids to pass through the entire pump, not just the impeller. If a clog does occur, it can be eliminated quickly and easily by opening the coverplate, removing the clog, and returning the pump to normal operation, all in just a few minutes time. downtime is virtually eliminated 3. Service is simple, fast and economical Our solids handling pump models are designed to make servicing a fast, simple and cost-efficient process. The removable coverplate allows for convenient inspection or service of the impeller, seal and wearplate, with no special tools required. If the pump shaft or bearings need service, the entire rotating assembly can be removed without disturbing the pump casing or piping. Plus, the rotating assembly is sealed with an O-ring which permits external clearance adjustments. no special tools required 4. Automatic priming means dependable performance Self-priming pumps are a sensible solution for industry and municipalities because they require very little attention, resulting in significant savings of maintenance time and money. Properly applied and installed, and after an initial priming, Gorman-Rupp pumps will continue to reprime automatically. In fact, T Series pumps will reprime with only a partially filled pump casing and a completely dry suction line. require very little attention
