V-Ram warranties Ball Valve system for 30,000 hours

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.
