Gorman-Rupp Company
Gorman-Rupp has been manufacturing pumps and pumping systems for more than 75 years. The company's line of products includes self-priming centrifugal pumps, standard centrifugal pumps, submersible pumps, trash pumps, priming assisted pumps, rotary gear pumps and air-driven diaphragm pumps, including the T Series® and Super T Series® and 10 Series® pumps.
 |
The T Series is a self-priming centrifugal pump with heavy-duty construction and an easy-to-service design. These pumps feature a large volute design, allowing them to re-prime automatically in an open system without the need for suction or discharge check valves.
The Super T Series offers the same features as the T Series plus additional design features, including external shimless adjustment, dual protection for bearings and an easy-grip cover plate handle.
Both of these pumps can be matched to the exact requirements of individual systems through different pump sizes, impeller trims and speed variations.
The 10 Series is specifically designed for handling solids, corrosives liquids and slurries. The pump design has few moving parts and maintenance is minimal. If a clog occurs, it can be removed through the cover plate opening without the use of special tools or the disturbance of pipes. The pump comes with a choice of seal configurations to handle different liquids.
Gorman-Rupp also provides a wide variety of educational, reference and safety information for pump owners and users on its website.

ITT Flygt
ITT’s water and wastewater division is launching a new generation of N-pumps offering new technology and more flexibility. The new generation can be ordered in hard iron for applications that require greater wear and durability. The pump was tested in lab and real conditions, including pumping water with high concentrations of coarse sand for about 200 hours, moving an estimated 2,400 tons of sand. The N-pump has also been equipped with insert rings containing relief grooves that, combined with the impeller, create a clog-free hydraulic unit plus protect the pump housing. Insert rings can also be ordered with cutting edges, converting the pump to a fertilizer or chopper pump. An inspection chamber has also been added to check for possible leaks and a thermal contact is provided that shuts the pump off if it overheats. The N-pump is available in various motor powers.

Nuhn
The Nuhn G-Force Lagoon Pump is a new high-volume, high-performance pump designed for commercial, and large farm, use.
 |
The clean and rugged design ensures low maintenance, and long life. With the Nuhn design, all of the energy from the tractor is directed into pumping, as opposed to wasting half of the energy on turning a prop. This results in massive agitation capacities and faster loading speeds.
To allow for longer life, the bearings are completely enclosed. Pressurized grease from a spring-loaded cup purges the unit of grit, like a wheel hub, which results in the most comprehensive lubrication system and seal in the industry.
To find out more information and to see a video clip of the Nuhn G-Force Lagoon Pump in action, please visit www.nuhn.ca.
Parma Company
This Idaho-based company provides two different kinds of pumps for slurry waste – the Parma Multi-Service Pump and the Parma Chopper Pump.
The Multi-Service Pump is recommended for low, lift-high volume pumping of water or slurry waste that does not require chopping. The Chopper Pump is recommended for slurry waste where smaller waste particles need to be chopped before pumping, such as dairy manure containing bedding, hay, etc.
Parma pumps have enclosed line shafts, oil lubricated with column bearings every four feet. The bowl assemblies, impellers and bearing housings are cast steel-type material for ease of repair and greater life. Low impeller speed also helps Parma pumps achieve long life.

Vaughan Company
For more than 40 years, Vaughan has been supplying livestock producers with manure pumps, including the Vaughan Chopper Pump, which is available in vertical wet well, submersible or dry well configurations. The chopper pump works by chopping up solids using the sharpened edges of the impeller. An optional disintegrator tool also helps to break up the larger solids before they enter the pump. The chopped solids are easily pumped through the system without clogging and an upper cutter helps to keep the mechanical seal area of the pump clean. The chopper pump features heat-treated cast steel parts for a long life in an abrasive atmosphere. A heavy-duty seal and bearing system also provides for longevity of service. Oil bathed bearings provide self-cooling and lubrication without the need for a water flush.
Other manure pump designs available from Vaughan include the FP26Unmanned Floating Platform, designed for lagoon maintenance, dewatering, field irrigation or sludge removal and the Turbo Agitator a directional mixer designed to rotate the contents of sludge pits and pull the settled solids from the bottom.
