The VUPX series of submersible propeller pumps are ideal for applications where large volumes of storm or process water have to be pumped to heads up to a maximum of 10 m. These compact pumps feature highly efficient three- or four-blade propellers with low NPSH characteristic and a space-saving design. They ensure high reliability and efficiency.
Main benefits
- Propeller Pumps equipped with Premium Efficiency IE3 motors ranging from 9 to 650 kW for 50Hz.
- Propeller Pumps equipped with Premium Efficiency IE3 motors ranging from 19 to 1005 hp for 60Hz.
- Pumps available with motor power up to 650kW / 50 Hz and 1005 hp / 60 Hz can optionally be equipped with planetary gear boxes.
- Equipped with highly efficient three-or four-blade propellers with excellent NPSH values
