Goulds Water Technology Introduces Vortex Wastewater Pump
VTX Series Features New Impeller Design
Goulds Water Technology, a Xylem brand, released its VTX Series, a line of submersible vortex pumps that features an improved impeller design for superior waste-handling capabilities.
A recessed vortex impeller creates a whirlpool of pressure that pulls solids through the system without touching the impeller vanes, minimizing clogging and allowing fibrous materials to pass through the system. Materials such as flushable products can pose clogging issues for wastewater systems due to their stringy, cloth-like composition. According to the company, the vortex impeller of the VTX Series resists clogging more effectively than a traditional two-vane impeller and is capable of handling solids up to 2-inches in diameter.
