A-C Hard-Metal Slurry, Solids Handling Pumps
CW Cane Wash Pump
Proven performance in handling
liquids with abrasive solids.
The CW Series pumps are designed to
handle liquids containing abrasive solids
from 1/8" (3mm) to 5" (125mm) in size.
The CW is available in abrasive resistant
Hi-chrome iron (ASTM A532, Class III
Type A Hardened). Available in sizes from
4" (100mm) to 16" suction (400mm),
capacities to 13,000GPM (2950m 3/hr)
and heads to 300ft (90m), the CW Series
is capable of handling temperatures up
to 250˚F (120˚C). The CWX Shearpeller
version is available for applications with
stringy, fibrous slurries. Typical applications for the CW series include cane
juice, cane washing, fiber slurries, slurry
transfer, lime and clay. The stainless
steel shaft sleeves have a hardness of
800 BHN and are sealed at the impeller
to prevent leakage. The CW Series ®
pumps are available with the Equiseal
dynamic seal which eliminates shaft
sleeve and packing maintenance and
gland water requirements.
CWX
CWX pumps embody an innovative yet time-proven concept in
pump design. The unique, patented Shearpeller successfully
handles large, stringy or fibrous solids in suspension, up to
25% entrained air in water by volume, highly viscous material
plus many other hard to pump slurries.

Vortex Solids Handling Pumps
Handle slurries, sludges, stringy
material and discharge-sized spherical
solids with clog-free dependability.
Fully recessed impellers produce a
clear flow path to the pump discharge,
allowing the pumping of large solids.
Recessed impellers and pump out vanes
reduce axial thrust and stuffing box
pressure – extending seal, packing,
sleeve and bearing life. Vortex pumps are
available in sizes from 2” (50 mm) to 10”
(250 mm). These pumps are typically
used for maceration service and raw
juice. Vortex pumps are also used for
boiler scrubber applications where their
recessed impeller design provides
longer service life in this highly
abrasive medium.
Whirl-Flo and HS are available in the
following materials:
■ Cast Iron: ASTM A48; Classes 25
& 35.
■ Chromium Iron: ASTM A532, Class III
Type A hardened to 600 Brinnell.
■ Stainless Steel: AISI 316 or
ACI CF-8M (Cast).
HS/Whirl-Flo®
Design features
■ Solids handling capability to 10”
(250 mm).
■ Centerline discharge on Whirl-Flo is
self-venting to prevent air binding.
■ Easy access, back pull-out design
without piping disconnects, simplifies
maintenance and minimizes downtime.
■ Select packing or mechanical seal to
suit fluid handling needs.
■ Quiet low vibration operation reduces
shaft and bearing fatigue. Double or
single row bearings are available.

3175/3180/3185
Design features
■ Ease of adjustment to maintain
optimum performance. By adjusting
the impeller clearance at the bearing
frame, wide open accessibility to the
bolts assists in obtaining a positive
clearance with minimal effort.
■ Clamped sideplate for maximum
reliability and zero leakage. The
clamped sideplate provides consistent
alignment with the impeller. This
results in improved efficiency and more
even wear over the life of the pump.
Also provides reliable leak-free seal
with clamped gasket and o-ring.
■ Minimum hydraulic loads for maximum
reliability. Casing and impeller
specifically designed o increase
efficiencies, and decrease internal
hydraulic loads to improve power end
and overall pump reliability.
■ Capacities to 28,000 GPM (6360 m3/h)
■ Heads to 410 feet (125 m)
■ Temperatures to 450° F (232° C)
