SUBMERSIBLE PROPELLER PUMP TYPE ABS VUPX

Pumping large volumes

The VUPX series of submersible propeller pumps are ideal for applications where large volumes of storm or process water have to be pumped to heads up to a maximum of 10 m. These compact pumps feature highly efficient three- or four-blade propellers with low NPSH characteristic and a space-saving design. They ensure high reliability and efficiency.
