Gorman-Rupp Introduces New Solids Handling Pump

Mansfield, OH — Gorman-Rupp is introducing a revolutionary new solids handling, self-priming centrifugal pump -- the Ultra V(TM) -- that offers performance levels never before achieved by self-priming pumps of this type. The Ultra V has higher pressure, higher flow, greater efficiency and time saving maintenance features.

"The Ultra V is another example of Gorman-Rupp's leadership in the pump industry. The benefits of this pump are the result of decades of innovation and experience," said Jeff Gorman, president. "We listened to input from the people putting our pumps to work every day -- customers, end users and distributors -- to ensure we developed a pump that meets the new and unique challenges of today's waste and industrial marketplace."

The Ultra V Series of pumps, which is available in a variety of sizes, achieve up to 60 percent increased pressure and up to 40 percent increased flow over any self-priming centrifugal solids handling pump of the same size.

When system requirements exceed the Ultra V's performance range of a single stage pump, it can be configured with a second stage -- the UltraMate - - that increases maximum pressure up to 300 percent. The UltraMate is mounted directly to the discharge of the Ultra V through an innovative transition chamber that reduces the loss associated with conventional series connected pumps. This unique mount minimizes the footprint of the pump as well.
