Morton Grove, IL — December 8, 1997 — Bell & Gossett has announced a new series of Submersible Vertical Turbine Pumps that combine the hydraulic engineering of turbine pumps along with high-tech submersible electric motors.
Ideal for commercial and specialty applications, Bell & Gossett’s Submersible Vertical Turbine Pumps offer either hermetically sealed or wet winding motors available in a variety of voltages and diameters. Units can deliver flow rates up to 9000 GPM and up to 1400 feet of head. The pumps and motors also can be combined with options such as motor sensing devices, water level indicators and special materials to meet the specific user demands.
All B&G Submersible Vertical Turbine Pumps have corrosion-resistant, polished 100,000 PSI high tensile stainless steel shafts and large stainless steel pump/motor couplings that are machined for perfect alignment, balance and power transmission. The units also feature precision-balanced impellers for maximum efficiency over a wide range of hydraulic coverage.
Other features of B&G’s Submersible Vertical Turbine Pumps include:
- Close grained Class 30 cast iron intermediate bowls with glassed lined water passages for maximum efficiency.
- Extra long, top protected discharge bearings to assure positive shaft alignment and stabilization.
- Reliable, long-life bronze or rubber intermediate bowl bearings.
- An upthrust collar designed to provide an extra margin of safety against possible momentary upthrust at start-up.
- Precisely machined lock collets that provide positive locking of the shaft to impeller.
- A ductile iron suction adapter to increase strength and motor alignment.
Bell & Gossett, a unit of ITT Industries, is a leading manufacturer of centrifugal pumps, hydronic specialties, heat exchangers, condensate handling equipment, and packaged systems for variable and constant speed pumping, heat transfer and pressure boosting.
