Vortex Series™ Pumps: Eliminate Costly & Disruptive Downtime
Pump failures cost time and money.
Eliminate costly and disruptive downtime by installing a pump from the Pioneer Pump® Vortex Series™. More effective than a flapper check valve, the Vortex Series uses a ball check valve that avoids clogging from passed-through solids and handles abrasive debris. Designed with a recessed impeller and vacuum-assisted priming chamber, this pump moves both solids and fluids efficiently. No cutters to sharpen or wear plates to maintain clearances-the features and mechanics of this pump series saves you time and money by eliminating parts that typically require maintenance.
During this 1-hour recorded webinar, Franklin Electric Central US Territory Manager, Chris Downey, discusses how you can eliminate disruptive downtime with Vortex Series pumps.
*This webinar was recorded live, 11 AM EDT Thursday, June 4, 2020.
The Vortex Series pumping solution is ideal for general dewatering, construction, and wastewater applications where fluid conditioning, macerating, or mix-prevention are unnecessary.
During this webinar you will learn:
- Basic insights on vortex pumps
- Features and benefits of the Vortex Series and Pioneer Prime System
- Applications
- Market positioning
- Lessons learned from a recent case study
