Ultra V Series Eradicator: High-Pressure Solids-Handling Pump

Ultra V Series with Eradicator: High-Pressure Solids-Handling Pumps

The Gorman-Rupp Ultra V Series is the most advanced self-priming centrifugal wastewater and sewage pump range on the market today.

They are high performance, high head, and high-efficiency pumps, designed to deliver a long and low maintenance service life, with a low cost of ownership.

Ultra V Series pumps are now also available with “Eradicator” technology to enable them to handle stringy materials such as rags, wet wipes, feathers and other debris that might otherwise block a pump. See below link to this version.

Further advantages include:

  • Ability to mount high and dry above the wet well [not in it]
  • Self-priming to 7.6 metres
  • Flows to 110 L/s and pressures upwards of 95 metres
  • Efficiencies up to 20% higher than any other solids handling self-primer
  • Higher pressures (heads) (up to 300%) than any other solids handling self-primer
  • Greatly improved operator safety
  • Easy access for monitoring or service
  • Improved maintenance features to greatly reduce maintenance time and costs, with removable rotating assembly
  • A variety of materials of construction to handle abrasive and/or corrosive fluids

Gippsland Water Eliminates Pump Blockages At Morwell WWTP

Gippsland Water provide quality Water and Waste Water services to the Gippsland Region of Victoria.

At their Morwell Waste Water Treatment Plant Gippsland Water have utilized 2 x Gorman Rupp Ultra V series 3” pumps as the inlet works pumps for the plant.

Since having the upgrade installed in Pump 1 on Tuesday 26/09/23, we have left Pump 1 as the duty pump and have not experienced any pump blockages.

Ultra V Series Performance

Superior solids-handling, high pressure pumps with reprime capability

Gorman-Rupp Ultra V Series self priming centrifugal pumps are capable of passing 76mm spherical solids [in 4” size and up] through all internal passages withing the pump (not just the impeller).

The Ultra V has fewer chokes and blockages, and is easy to maintain:

Heavy-duty two-vane solids-handling impeller made of ductile iron, designed for wastewater management, featuring a semi-open structure to minimize blockages and enhance durability.

Solids-Handling Impeller

The heavy-duty balanced, two-vane, semi-open ductile iron impellers provide maximum life. Pump-out vanes on the back shroud reduce foreign material build-up behind the impeller, minimising pressure on the seal and maximising bearing life.

Removable Cover Plate

Gorman-Rupp's patened lightweight inspection cover provides easier and safer access to the pump interior.

Replaceable Wear Plate

A replaceable wear plate has Gorman-Rupp’s patent-pending, self-cleaning design to ensure that debris is cleared away and does not collect on the impeller vanes. This innovative design reduces life cycle costs by minimising blockages.

Anti-Rotation Ribs

All Ultra V Series wastewater pumps come standard with anti-rotation ribs within the seal chamber area, reducing internal wear and maximising seal life

Patented External Shim-less Adjustment System

The shim-less cover plate adjustment allows for accurate maintenance of the clearance between the impeller and wear plate, without realigning belts, couplings or other drive components. Once adjustments have been made, the unique collar and adjusting screw maintains the clearance setting even if the cover plate is removed. Peak efficiency is maintained, while doubling the life of the impeller and wear plate. The life of the wear plate is maximised with the combination of the shim-less cover adjustment and the additional rotating assembly spacers.

Patented cartridge seal for Gorman-Rupp Ultra V Series pumps, featuring double-floating design and silicon carbide faces for enhanced durability in abrasive applications.

Patented Cartridge Seal

The double-floating, self aligning, oil-lubricated mechanical seal is specifically designed for abrasive and/or trash handling applications. The silicon carbide faces and extra large seal oil chamber provide superior dry-run capability. The patented cartridge design also allows for accurate and easy installation.

Removable rotating assembly of Gorman-Rupp Ultra V series pump, featuring a robust design for efficient solids handling and maintenance.

Interchangeable Rotating Assembly

The Ultra V series pumps are designed with a removable rotating element. This assembly can be removed and replaced in minutes without disconnecting piping or disturbing motor alignment.
