The Gorman-Rupp Super U Series®is one of the most efficient self-priming, solids-handling pumps on the market, delivering up to 75% efficiency with a multi-vane impeller and smooth wall volute casing that reduce friction and drag. These pumps maintain high performance across a broad operating range, even when operating outside their best efficiency point.
Built for Durability and Easy Maintenance
Super U Series pumps are designed for long service life with heavy-duty construction and a five-year warranty. They feature an exclusive double-floating, self-aligning oil-lubricated mechanical cartridge seal, ensuring extended performance in abrasive industrial applications.
The external shimless adjustment allows easy clearance tuning without realigning belts or couplings, doubling the life of the impeller and wearplate while keeping the pump at peak efficiency. The removable cover plate with an “easy-grip” handle allows for quick inspection and service without disconnecting piping, reducing downtime.
Flexible Drive Options
Super U Series pumps are available as basic units, flex-coupled, or v-belt driven for maximum operational flexibility. V-belt configurations provide adjustable speed options, eliminating the need for impeller trimming and ensuring the best combination of head and capacity.
Key Features:
Up to 75% efficiency – High-performance multi-vane impeller minimizes energy loss.
External shimless adjustment – Allows easy clearance tuning without disturbing other components.
Solids-handling impeller – Handles solids up to 1 1/4″ diameter.
Exclusive cartridge seal – Oil-lubricated, self-aligning design for abrasive service applications.
Removable cover plate – Quick access for easy maintenance without disconnecting piping.

Gorman-Rupp is pleased to introduce SFSC pump models to the SF Series® product offering. SFSC pumps are equipped with Gorman-Rupp’s Eradicator Plus™ solids reduction technology. This system is designed to cut and shred organic solids before they enter the interior of the pump. These models are the most aggressive in the SF Series product lineup and are designed for applications where non-woven flushable wipes, trash bags, hair, industrial by-products and agricultural wastes are present.
All SFSC pumps are equipped with a rugged, heavy-duty continuous vane impeller for the most aggressive waste-handling applications. The pump out vanes incorporated into the thick back shroud help prevent the buildup of debris behind the impeller. The wear plate incorporated into the SFSC pumps utilizes notches and grooves with an oversized lacerating tooth designed to cut and shred organic solids before they enter the pump. SFSC pumps are available in 3”, 4” and 6” discharge sizes.

Effective immediately, due to supply chain challenges, Gorman-Rupp Pumps (Engineered Systems) is temporarily substituting Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 753 Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) with the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755 Variable Frequency Drives (VFD). At this time, there is no additional cost for the substitution. We will continue to monitor availability, and will provide notification when availability returns for the A/B PowerFlex 753.
Please reference the Product Information Bulletin for a technical comparison between the two drives. The PIB is available for download via DNet.
