The CR Series is available in cast-iron, all titanium and two grades of stainless steel. There are eleven different flow sizes available, which can produce upwards of 50 bar of pressure. There are also a wide variety of shaft seals, supply voltages and rubber materials.

Applications for Grundfos CR Series Centrifugal Pumps

The applications for CR Series pumps are nearly infinite, but there are some applications in which they are very popular. These include: water supply & pressure boosting in commercial/residential/industrial/mining/health sectors, pumping of aggressive fluids (acid or alkaline), seawater systems, washing and cleaning systems, water processing systems, ultrafiltration systems, swimming pools and reverse osmosis systems.

Some more specific applications: mining, steam boiler feed, chemical processes, industrial processes, mineral oils, pharmaceutical industries, petrochemical industries, distilling plants, refineries, paint industries. They can be used to cool data processing equipment, medical equipment, laser equipment and industrial freezing and cooling processes. They can control temperature for chemical processing, oil processing and moulding and casting tools..

Gorman-Rupp Pumps for the Mining Industry

Gorman-Rupp offers a wide variety of pumps for the mining industry. They manufacture both above-ground and below-ground pumps to handle every aspect of pumping for the mining industry.

Gorman-Rupp Below-Ground Pumps

Super T Series: The Super T series consists of centrifugal pumps that are self-priming with repriming capability, medium head pumps for handling heavy solids. They are built with the most advanced maintenance and design features. They also offer a precursor to the Super T series called the T-Series, which doesn’t have quite as many maintenance and design updates but is a solid choice for heavy duty work.

O Series: The O Series consists of high head centrifugal pumps that are self-priming with straight-in suction and an enclosed impeller. They are designed for clean liquids.

80 Series: The 80 series consists of self-priming, centrifugal open-impeller pumps with end suction. They are designed for applications involving limited solids and medium head.

10 Series: The 10 Series consists of self-priming centrifugal pumps with an end suction design for heavy duty solids and medium head applications.

S Series: The S Series consists of portable, submersible centrifugal pumps for industrial and contractor applications. They are available in both slimline and wide base configurations. The SM series is similar but built specifically for mining use and approved for mines by one of the most stringent standards in the world: MSHA.

Other Below-Ground Pumps: For trash and sewage applications, they offer the HS Series: vortex impeller centrifugal pumps that are submersible and hydraulic powered. They also offer numerous other centrifugal pumps with side suction or end suction, for clean liquids, dirty liquids, high head or solids.

Gorman-Rupp Above-Ground Pumps

Gorman Rupp offers many of the above series as above-ground pumps. The Super T, 80 Series and 10 Series are offered in engine-driven models. The Super T and the 10 Series are used for trash applications, while the 80 Series is used for limited solids. The O Series is offered for clean liquids.

The PA or Prime Aire series consists of priming assisted centrifugal pumps for handling solids. They feature a venturi and compressor priming system and are used for bypass applications by contractors.

There is another portable submersible pump for above ground use: the SE Series, used for light dewatering applications.

They also offer the D Series, consisting of diaphragm pumps, available in electric-driven and engine-driven models.

A Quick Guide to Trash Pumps

Some of you may have heard this term and some may not: trash pumps. These pumps are designed for dewatering applications and are portable. These kind of pumps have the capability of moving water with solids in it such as twigs, sludge, sand, leaves and mud. Most trash pumps are portable versions of heavy duty centrifugal pumps.

How Trash Pumps are Different from Standard Pumps

A Quick Guide to Trash Pumps

The impeller veins are deeper and the discharge openings are much larger than similar pumps that are not designed to be trash pumps. Consequently, these pumps are able to move fluids with solids that would clog up standard centrifugal pumps. Not only can they move fluids containing too many solids for other pumps, they can also move them at a high rate of speed.

While many pumps grind up the solid materials that enter the pump, trash pumps do not. In addition to the deep impeller veins and large discharge openings, these pumps feature a full pump housing. These pumps can be made from a variety of materials, including: cast iron, stainless steel, steel and aluminum. Roll cages are also common standard equipment on most trash pumps.

There’s another variation called a semi trash pump, which does not have as large of a discharge opening as a trash pump. Due to the smaller opening, they cannot handle larger solids, nor can they handle a high density of solids.

These kind of pumps are the pump of choice for rigorous pumping large or highly concentrated solids, especially on a daily basis.

Some manufacturers do not always differentiate between trash pumps and semi trash pumps, so it is important to work with a company that provides comprehensive customer service.

A strainer is often used in addition to a hose at the inlet of these pumps to keep out solids that are too large for the pump to process.

Grundfos Vertical Multistage Pumps

We import a wide range of pumps into Australia from some of the best pump manufacturers in the world. One of those is Grundfos. We would like to tell you about Grundfos Vertical Multistage Pumps.

Grundfos CRI, and CRN Vertical Multistage Pumps

The CRI and CRN series of Grundfos pumps are vertical multistage pumps. The feature and inline design that makes them appropriate for a specific set of circumstances: a one-pipe, horizontal system in which the discharge and suction ports have identical pipe dimensions and are located in the same horizontal plane. This design allows the pipe work and pump design to exist in a more compact space.

The pressure and flow demands of the media being moved determine how many stages and what pump sizes you will need for the job. Grundfos CRI and CRN pumps are used for many applications, including the pumping of chemicals and the pumping of potable water. This versatility allows these Grundfos pumps to be used in a wide variety of applications in which the material and pump performance must be perfectly matched.

Grundfos CRI & CRN Series pumps contain two basic components: the pump and the motor. Grundfos uses heavy duty Grundfos motors for these pumps that are specific for each individual pump.

The pump unit features a top, an outer sleeve, connectors and other parts that are built to optimise hydraulics. The entire CR series is available in different materials specific to the media for which they will be used.

Grundfos CR Pumps: an Overview

The CR pump is a vertical multistage centrifugal pump that is non self-priming. Each CR pump consists of a pump head and a base. The outer sleeve and the chamber stack are connected between the base and the pump head by staybolts. The discharge and suction ports are on the same level or “inline,” connected to the base. The shafts are mechanically sealed by a maintenance-free cartridge.

All of the pumps are powered by standard Grundfos C Face, NEMA, 2-pole, heavy duty motors. Each pump has a specified motor.
