VNP Series Water Pump

  • Vertical Single Stage
  • Wet Installation
  • PP Wetted Parts
  • Solids approx 20 %

The type VNP vertical sump pump is specifically designed to water application or wasted water application. Pump Material is PP.

It is a vertical single stage pump with a back pull out design according to ISO 2858, installed wet in the pit. Sealing is by a labyrinth seal or a lip ring seal and the bearings are grease lubricated. The solid content limit value is approximately 20 per cent.

Key Benefits

No Suction Line

The pump hangs into the liquid, so there is no suction pipe, no foot valve and no priming system.

Handles a Higher Solid Load

A solid content limit value of approximately 20 per cent, twice the KCP figure.

PP Wetted Parts

Polypropylene wetted parts for water and waste water duty.

Back Pull Out to ISO 2858

The hydraulic end follows ISO 2858 back pull out practice.

Labyrinth or Lip Ring Seal

No mechanical seal face in contact with the pumped liquid.

Wide Ambient Range

Rated for an ambient temperature of -20°C to 60°C.

Application Scenarios

Sump and Pit Drainage

Wet pit installation for water and waste water collection.

Waste Water Transfer

Transfer duty out of a pit where the liquid carries solids.

Who It Is For

  • Sites with a collection pit or sump rather than a flooded suction line
  • Duties carrying up to around 20 per cent solids
  • Installations where a mechanical seal in the liquid is not wanted
  • Outdoor pits with an ambient temperature down to -20°C

Problems It Solves

ProblemHow the VNP Series Answers It
The Pump Loses PrimeA wet installed vertical sump pump sits in the liquid, so there is nothing to prime.
Solids Damage the Shaft SealSealing is by labyrinth or lip ring, above the liquid, not by a face seal in the pumped medium.
A Foot Valve Keeps FoulingThere is no suction line and no foot valve on a wet installed sump pump.
The Liquid Attacks Metal Wetted PartsThe pump material is PP.

Materials

PP

Polypropylene. The stated pump material for the VNP series.

Manufacturing and Quality Control

Casings and impellers are machined in house, staged through the parts store and assembled into complete sets. Finished pumps are coupled up on the test bench with the suction and discharge lines connected before they are packed.

Casting

Casings and impellers in the specified material.

Machining

Machining bays under overhead travelling cranes.

Staging

Machined parts and hardware held ready for assembly.

Assembly

Rotating element, casing, coupling and motor on the baseplate.

Test

The set is run on the test bench before packing.

Use Guide

Confirm the Duty Point

Flow, head, liquid, temperature and supply frequency decide the size. Give the normal duty and the maximum duty if they differ.

Match the Material to the Liquid

The wetted material is chosen for the liquid, not for the pump. Check the materials listed above against what you are pumping.

Plan the Installation

See the installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance notes in the service section before the pump arrives on site.

FAQ

VNP Vertical Water Pump FAQ

What is a wet installation

The pump column hangs into the pit and the hydraulic end sits below the liquid level. Only the motor and the cover plate stay above.

Does the VNP need priming

No. It is installed wet, so the hydraulic end is already flooded.

How much solid content can it handle

A solid content limit value of approximately 20 per cent.

What material are the wetted parts

PP.

What sealing is used

A labyrinth seal or a lip ring seal.

What temperatures are allowed

An ambient temperature of -20°C to 60°C and an operation temperature up to 80°C.

What impeller is fitted

A closed impeller.
