Vertical Sump Pump for Solids | Industrial Wastewater & Sewage Treatment
Product Description
This Vertical Turbine Sewage Pump is specifically engineered to handle wastewater containing solid particles and fibrous materials in sump, tank, and pit applications. Unlike standard vertical turbine pumps, this robust design features a semi-open impeller that efficiently passes solids without clogging, making it ideal for industrial wastewater, municipal sewage, and processing applications.
The pump’s vertical design allows it to be submerged directly in the fluid being pumped, saving valuable floor space while providing reliable transfer of solids-laden liquids. Constructed with wear-resistant materials and a vortex-type impeller action, it minimizes the risk of clogging from debris, rags, and other solid materials commonly found in sewage and industrial waste streams. This heavy-duty vertical sewage pump offers a dependable solution for continuous operation in demanding environments where other pumps would fail.
🌍 Applications
- Wastewater Treatment Plants: Ideal for raw sewage lift stations, primary treatment transfer, and plant sump drainage
- Industrial Processing: Suitable for factory wastewater sumps, process water with solids, and industrial effluent transfer
- Municipal Sewage Systems: Effective for sewage collection pits, municipal drainage systems, and utility sump applications
- Food Processing: Handles wastewater containing organic solids and processing byproducts in food manufacturing plants
- Mining & Mineral Processing: Reliable performance in mine dewatering with suspended solids and mineral processing water
- Paper & Pulp Mills: Transfers wastewater containing fibrous materials and paper pulp residues

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size solids can this vertical turbine sewage pump handle?
A: Depending on the specific model, this pump can handle solid particles ranging from 50mm to 100mm in diameter, making it suitable for most municipal sewage and industrial wastewater applications containing typical debris and solids.
Q: How does this pump prevent clogging from rags and fibrous materials?
A: The combination of a semi-open impeller design, large passageways, and vortex-type pumping action allows rags and fibrous materials to pass through without wrapping around the impeller, significantly reducing clogging incidents.
Q: Can this pump run dry without damage?
A: No, like most vertical turbine pumps, it requires continuous submersion in the pumped fluid for proper operation and cooling. We recommend using level controls to prevent dry running and potential damage.
Q: What is the advantage of the top-pullout design?
A: The top-pullout design enables maintenance personnel to remove the entire pumping element for inspection or repair without needing to enter the sump or disconnect the discharge piping, significantly reducing maintenance time and costs.
Q: Can the pump length be customized for our specific sump depth?
A: Yes, we regularly customize the column length and immersion depth to match specific sump, tank, or pit dimensions, ensuring optimal performance for your application.
Q: What materials are available for abrasive applications?
A: We offer various material upgrades including high-chrome iron, hardened stainless steel, and specialized coatings for handling abrasive solids in wastewater streams. Our technical team can recommend the best material combination for your specific application.
