Standard Sewage?
What Are You Pumping?
What Else Are You Pumping?
More Standard Sewage?
Frequent & Premature Equipment Failures
How does The Vaughan ‘Chopper’ Pump deal with all
of these problem areas that no-one else can handle?
Plugging at the suction intake.
Binding of materials around the impeller
Abrasives which rapidly wear standard materials
(Grit, Stones, Gravel)
Reweave of materials behind impeller
Shaft deflection and vibration when handling solids.
Approximately 22-24% of submersible pumps failures are associated with
Reweave of material behind the impeller & Shaft deflection.

Reweave of material behind the impeller & Shaft deflection.
Other Manufacturers ‘Non-Clog’ Type Pumps Can’t Handle This Heavy Duty Environment.
Plugging - A Familiar Sight?
A Blocked SewerSimilar to many sites throughout Northern Ireland, course hand rake screens had been installed at multiple SPS’s and were a constant drain on the NIW recourses. The objective was to remove the hand rake screens and thus remove the operational costs which typically consisted of:
• 1 operator - 5 days per week to manually rake the material into a bin.
• 1 lorry – at least 1 day per week to empty the bins.
This task will easily amount to an annual cost of over £3000 the addition
of any further costs arising from pump failures, repairs, sump tankering
etc which would be added to the base figure.
What would happen if the screens were removed? there would be premature failure to the existing standard Non-clog type pumps unless, they upgraded to the equipment designed for this duty, The Vaughan ‘Chopper’ Pumps
It is policy within many water authorities not to fit screens upfront to protect equipment. However, it is commonly accepted as a compromise over consistent and frequent failures of low cost and poor design of pumps.
The cost implications of this are substantial!!
Rags & Debris result in regular & costly failures to

Common Myth
All ‘Non-Clog’ or ‘Macerator’ or Cutter type
pumps are the same!
FALSE
Vaughan ‘Chopper’ Pumps are not to be confused with
other types or brands of chopper pumps, macerators,
grinder or cutter pumps.
The Vaughan Pump is a patented product and so it is
UNIQUE in the pump world.

Why is the Vaughan ‘Chopper’ Pump
Impeller design so efficient?
The Chopping action occurs as close to the most central part of the shaft rotation possible. This requires less energy even with the toughest materials.
Solids above 10mm
Solids below 10mm
Solids below 10mm are chopped in this new improved design with the new cutter nut tooth's leading edge scissor action design
Field adjustment with:
NO special tool or shims necessary!
The E-series design incorporates a unique back pull-out plate with external adjustments of all critical cutting clearances.
The ONLY pump available with ALL wear components in hardened materials
• All Wear Components – 61-64 Rockwell C (min 60)
• 4 times harder than standard grey iron.
• Designed to withstand impact.
• Designed to withstand abrasion.
• Minimal spares required over 20 years
NO OTHER PUMP O.E.M OFFERS THIS!

Upper Cutter Ring
The Vaughan ‘Chopper’ Pump eliminates material REWEAVE behind impeller. The biggest killer of mechanical seals in submersible pumps. This problem also causes bearing failure and motor overload conditions.

A Comparison to Other Manufacturers?
Standard ‘Non-Clog’? Type Pumps
There can be no comparisons made between
Vaughan and other types of equipment.
Other Manufacturers Lightweight Bearing Systems
All have Single Thrust on top
All have small shaft diameters Most commonly
20mm to 35mm
All have Light Dutylower double Radial bearings
Other Manufacturers Lightweight Bearing Systems
All have Single Thrust on top
All have small shaft diameters Most commonly
20mm to 35mm
All have Light Dutylower double Radial bearings
NONE OF THESE DESIGNS WILL COPE WITH A HEAVY
SHOCK LOADING
All other Non-Clog? type pumps are basically a Centrifugal type with something added on: i.e.
Cutter Bar, Knife-edge, Grooves
NOT SUITABLE FOR HEAVY DUTIES
Other Manufacturers’ Mechanical Seals
LIGHT DUTY designs are no match for Vaughan
NO COMPARISON!NO COMPARISON!
SHAFT DEFLECTION
The main chopping action takes place between
the Auger-type impeller edge and the machined grooves on the I/D of the flange
Cutting Action takes place on the outer edge of impeller. This creates excessive radial forces to
the shaft causing deflection with resultant Mechanical Seal & Bearing failure.
How Confident Are We?
You will never see
anything like this from other Pump MANUFACTURERS!
