Horizontal

Discflo horizontal non-clog disc pumps for abrasive, high-solids and shear-sensitive fluids. Instead of conventional impellers they use the rotating discs of the Discpac, with a boundary layer of viscous drag limiting contact between the pump components and the fluid and no radial loads on seals and bearings. Available direct-coupled (in-line), frame-mounted, close-coupled, over-under, side-by-side and self-priming; API 610 builds available. Handles up to 80 to 90% solids, solid particles up to 10 in. (250 mm) and up to 80% entrained gas.
