Vortex Series

The Vortex Non-Clog Impeller is designedto handle large diameter solids and fibrousmaterial without clogging. The Vortex Non-ClogPumps will handle solids up to the samediameter as the discharge. There is reducedradial loading for trouble free operation. Evenwith low flows, the Vortex Non-Clog designallows throttling to a low performance rangeunacceptable to many centrifugal pumps. Thecomplete Vortex Non-Clog line has beendesigned to pump various liquids and oilscontaining up to 30% entrained air. They willoperate 23% below its first critical speed at anypoint of operation. The Vortex Non-Clog Pumpshaft is designed to have a maximum totalindicated run-out not to exceed .008 inches.

Pumps Designed to handle SolidsCaution, Not All Pumps Are DesignedTo Handle Bulky/Fibrous or Shear Sensitive SolidsWhen handling certain bulky, fibrous solids, clogging can occur. Standard end suction pumps haveclose clearances between the impeller and casing to maintain efficiency and performance. Highvelocities in the casing will cause increased wear, and can degrade or shear pumpage.

Trouble-Free Operation At Low FlowsRecessed impeller pumps are reliable when operating at low flows. Gusher’s Vortex Non-ClogPumps use a concentric casing reducing radial loads up to 85%. Bearing, seal and overall pumplife are optimized.

Non-Clog Pumping With Minimum Solids Degradationwith the induced flow of Non-Clog Vortex impeller being recessed from the casing, velocities are

low. Contact by solids with the impeller is reduced. Wear rate, solids degradation and shearing ofliquid are greatly minimized. The Vortex Non-Clog casing design is able to handle solids in liquidsuspension. Any substance that can exit the discharge will pass through the pump without clogging.
