| The V-Ram Solids Ball Valve and Seat is a product resulting from years of experience pumping high solids municipal sludge. The need for a simple valving system was the driving force in a four year development program. The Ball Valve has far superior wear and maintenance characteristics compared to poppet valves. |
|
| Up to 55% solids municipal sludge will pump with low pressure drop. The ball and seat are positive seal, passive, self-cleaning and have an expected wear life of 30,000 hours. |
|
| The four valves work together to achieve smooth shifting at all pressures with the highest pumping efficiency. This simplified valving system results in significant savings as compared to complicated, high-maintenance and high-cost poppet valve systems. V-Ram Solids backs the Ball Valve and Seat with a five year replacement warranty. This design makes the V-Ram Pump the most cost-effective, high pressure, high solids sludge pump available today. |
Outlet ball set opens for easy maintenance. |
