Why Consider Vulcan Pumps for Your Next Submersible Pump Application?
Vulcan Pumps designs and manufactures heavy-duty submersible slurry pumps built for demanding industrial applications. From abrasive sump service to corrosive slurry environments, Vulcan pumps are engineered for dependable performance, application flexibility, and long-term service life.
Every pump is built with close attention to quality, fit, and performance. Vulcan’s quality control team inspects pump components before assembly and throughout the manufacturing process, helping ensure that each unit meets the requirements of the application before it ships to the customer.
Made in the USA
Vulcan Pumps are designed, cast, machined, assembled, and supported from the company’s facility in the Southeastern United States. By controlling patterns, casting, machining, and assembly, Vulcan is able to support consistent quality, reliable delivery, and competitive lead times.
Metallurgy Options for Abrasive and Corrosive Service
Vulcan offers a wide range of material options to match the demands of the application, including CD4MCuN, Alloy 20, Hastelloy, 2205 duplex stainless, and 2507 super duplex stainless.
For severe abrasive slurry service, Vulcan offers ASTM A532 Class III Type A high-chrome iron liquid-end castings. This material provides excellent wear resistance for tough slurry applications while also offering mild corrosion resistance.
For applications involving chemical exposure or high chloride levels, Vulcan can provide options in ASTM A890 duplex and super duplex stainless steels, including CD4, 2205, and 2507, as well as ASTM A494 high-nickel alloys such as C276 and Alloy 20. Hardware, motor shafts, and other pump components can also be manufactured in these materials when required.
Application-Specific Seal Design
Vulcan works with John Crane to provide seal designs matched to the needs of the application. This allows the pump to be configured around the actual service conditions instead of relying on a generic seal selection.
Vulcan HDS pumps are available with internal slurry seal configurations designed for severe-duty operation. Optional Super Slurry Seal designs are also available for especially demanding applications.
Locally Inventoried Parts
Vulcan pump parts are inventoried locally in Birmingham, Alabama. This helps reduce downtime by providing access to quality replacement components at reasonable pricing and short lead times.
Rebuild Program and Repair Support
Vulcan offers pump rebuild services, upgrades, and testing through its Birmingham repair facility. Repaired units can be tested before returning to the field, helping customers confirm performance and reliability before the pump is placed back into service.
Vulcan distributors can also provide trained local repair support, helping customers keep critical pumping equipment operating with less downtime.
