Floway® VTSP Vertical Turbine Solids Pumps

About this product

Vertical direct-coupled, single or multistage turbine pump, with a cast or fabricated discharge head, top mounted motor and closed suction or wet pit design. The pump has been configured to handle solids contents of up to 10%. Overview Floway® is manufactured by and is a registered trademark of Trillium Pumps USA, Inc, a division of Trillium Flow Technologies™. We are an authorised distributor for the Floway product group in the mining and minerals market segment. Floway® vertical turbine solids pumps (VTSP) include hardened materials and a patented bearing design resulting in an increased wear-life up to four times that of a standard vertical turbine pump. These pumps feature a semi-open adjustable impeller design to accommodate light solids and maintain performance without the need for disassembly. Handling solids up to 10% by weight, Floway® vertical turbine solids pumps are designed to reduce wear, decrease maintenance down time and lower total ownership cost.

Water can be unpredictable and so can site requirements - that’s why we regularly put our engineering skills to the test in the development of engineered-to-order solutions. Simulation techniques such as Discrete Element Modelling (DEM) and ProteusDS marine software allows us to simulate our barges on a virtual environment of the client’s pond and how it interacts with different environmental loading scenarios. Our team of specialists study the ins and outs of each operation to deliver integrated turnkey solutions featuring our extensive range of equipment ideal for sand and aggregates, mining, and industrial applications.
