Build the selection around your duty
Elastomer compatibility
Liquid composition, pH, operating temperature and any oils, solvents or process reagents.
Particles and duty
Maximum size, particle shape, concentration, required flow and head.
Sump arrangement
Immersion length, mounting plate, liquid levels, discharge interface and extension requirements.
The source lists BPR model identities on PDF page 3. Numerical BP operating points are not BPR ratings; request a BPR-specific performance curve.
Need a model-specific curve?
Provide the actual slurry and operating point so the proposed model, speed and material can be reviewed together.
Rubber-Lined Vertical Sump Pump construction and operation
The rubber sump direction is shown separately from the metal version in the supplied catalogue. The component schedule identifies elastomer protection on the shaft, mounting-plate underside, column and discharge pipe, together with rubber wet-end components in the illustrated arrangement.
Choose this construction by reviewing the complete liquid and particle properties. The rubber specification must suit chemistry and temperature as well as abrasion. The catalogue lists rubber-series model names, but its detailed BP operating tables are metal-pump data and are not transferred to the rubber version. Request the applicable rubber-pump curve and material schedule.
- ✓Rubber-specific component scheduleReview the protected shaft, column, discharge pipe and wet-end parts as a complete assembly.
- ✓Compound compatibilityProvide pH, constituents, temperature and particle shape when selecting the elastomer.
- ✓Independent hydraulic reviewUse a rubber-series curve rather than assuming metal-series performance is interchangeable.
Components, materials and seals
Impeller & casing
The hydraulic end operates below the mounting level. Match its material to abrasion and liquid chemistry.
Shaft & column
Column and shaft length follow the sump geometry and operating liquid levels. Extension designs require their own review.
Bearing support
Keep the above-liquid drive and bearing support accessible for lubrication, inspection and removal.
Discharge & installation
Support the discharge pipe independently and agree the outlet interface, lifting path and removal clearance.
