Vertical Immersion Pump

Our Vertical Immersion Pump is the vertical equivalent to partner Salvatore Robuschi’s Horizontal Water and Industrial centrifugal Pump range, adhering to ISO 5199 norms with bearing bushes. Offering a variety of customisation options, this pump range enables designers and end-users to tailor sump or tank plates, flanges, and impeller choices to suit their specific operational needs. With pump lengths up to 6m, this pump available with PTFE lip seals or cartridge mechanical seals. Bearing bush options include bronze, rubber, rulon, and PEEK, and feature Closed, Semi-Open, Recessed Vortex, and Multi-Channel impeller options that can be supplied with Suction Strainers and Suction Extension pieces on request. Additionally, ATEX certification is available on request, ensuring suitability and safety in hazardous zones.

Typical applications for our Vertical Immersion Pump:

  • Refining
  • Oil & Gas
  • Chemical
  • Pulp & Paper
  • Water Facilities
  • Drainage Sumps
  • Oily Water Sumps
  • Tank Transfer
Overview

Salvatore Robuschi Vertical Immersion Pumps

The Vertical Immersion Sump Pump range from Salvatore Robuschi is built in accordance with ISO 5199 Norms and features the same impeller choices of the Single Stage End Suction Centrifugal Pumps (Closed, Semi-Open, Recessed Vortex & Multi-Channel impeller options):

  • The Closed Impeller (RDV) Range of pumps is suited to pumping clean liquids or a small percentage of suspended solids
  • The Open Impeller (RGV) Range of pumps is suited to pumping liquids with non-fibrous solids, viscous liquids and fluids with entrained gases/air
  • The Recessed Vortex Impeller (RCV) Range of pumps is suited to handling large, fragile, abrasive and fibrous solids (up to 90% of inlet diameter), up to 1000cPs fluids and up to 50% entrained gases/air
  • The Multi-Channel Impeller (RBV) Range of pumps is best suited for viscous and solid-laden (non-fibrous) liquids or applications with low NPSHa/high-efficiency requirements

All vertical pumps are heavily customisable and include various lubrication systems, ensuring the vertical pumps are suited for almost any type of sump application.

Vertical Immersion Pump Impeller Options

Salvatore Robuschi’s Vertical Immersion Pump can be supplied with:

  • Closed Impeller: For clean liquids
  • Semi-open Impeller with wear plate and external adjustment: For slightly contaminated liquids or non-abrasive slurries. This impeller is well suited for handling liquids with gas contents up to 15%
  • Channel Impeller: For slightly contaminated liquids or non-abrasive slurries. This impeller uses a special blade geometry for low NPSH and high free passage making it highly efficient
  • Vortex Impeller: For chemical and crystalline suspensions, all viscous liquids, liquids with high concentrations of fibrous suspensions, municipal and industrial wastewater and every kind of sludge. Free passage up to 150mm
